Loved reading it😊... Just something strikes my mind... Look how confident Arnav is that Khushi would be there infront of him exactly at 12... He covers it up saying that she has the habit of goofing up... But somewhere or somehow Arnav believed that Khushi would be there in front of him... He was the one who first believed that Khushi could hear him else he wouldn't have initiated the talk (telepathy)... He believed they had completed all the rituals in their first marriage itself (bandage engagement, Mehandi - he was the one to point out everything first)...

hello, mere yaars, and i don't get yaara so shall stick to '70s school lingo. on 12 july, without realising it is my mom's death anni, i had this terrific desire to see the first home i ever lived in... my grandparents' place in the heart of govt dilli... tughlak road, and also go to the place just a road away (most accessible through the back gate, and alley behind, tiny sweet shop on the way where you got light green blue pink d-shaped lozenges, lethally delicious), birla house, where gandhiji fell to godse's bullet with that "he ram" on his lips. during the couple of month long annual jaunts to dilli from assam when i was a kid, we'd often go there to play... the green lawn, the little memorial with the prominent "he ram," the red stone covered pavilion with gandhi ji's story on the walls, what happy memories there and always that sense of drama and moment in the air.

had to show my daughter that. so i did, and she seemed moved, now there's a museum and stuff there... in my memories a simple birla house. today, 15 july, i meet the boy who used to often be a part of the gang of kids invading holy ground... raju, the peon's son who made super good and is now a successful business man. he's 55, i'm 53, yet we both sort of felt like kids of 6 and 8. i said, wouldn't you be part of the group that went to birla house. he said, there was that back gate... and the shop, now there are so many... it was such a great place...

that's what delhi has for me.

and so many people who are no longer there, yet still are. this includes the boy i had a secret crush on in school and changed my bus stop for. he married my best friend's sister (but naturally)... two days back i had lunch with my friend, her sister, and mom. this lovely boy has passed away many years now... in the middle of lunch we chatted about my little passion... we all loved and missed him, yesterday i took a quick look at the tree by the masjid off pandara road, where the bus came every morning, and i'd silently adored a young delhi boy... so so hep and mills and boon.

delhi has become another planet, now i go to ramprasth across jamuna for weddings. or gurgaon (which was a gaon/village) to meet a friend. yet somehow that city of mine is here. i dislike so much of it at a rational place, yet i can't help but love it, despite the chaotic "guest house" in the ncr i had a little rendezvous with.

a stiff whisky down, i ramble. but it's hot and july, and all the ice cream vendors are out in india gate, i need an orange bar and a choc bar. tomorrow shopping for my daughter in connaught place. many things may have changed, but you still get the best clothes here, and the best looking boys too.

thanks for letting me go on. it's been so long.

i was part of baraat/bride groom's side last night... wore shiny sari, loads of jewellry, and danced on the the road with raju or shamsher or whatever band playing the raucous, out of tune, hindi film music played by such bands at most weddings. i am usually found laughing at this whole shenanigan; last night, i was the one laughed at... yet i was in happy land, shaking shoulder, flailing arms, being really loud, a natural street dancer i tell ya.

so i am going to pretend, like la tagore, you are la ruma. and it's lovely to read what you write. yes, age ceases to matter sometimes... when you're watching ipk, we practically have empirical proof that this actually happens. talk about stress, these past couple of days, couldn't come here because of a high activity and supreme decibel wedding in the fam... while i enjoyed everything thoroughly, including the showing off of my big jhumka and the family gossip that i remember from another time, plus all the running and rushing and eating... somehow i just so missed the innocence of these pages. blast is my getaway from it all.. especially the grown up complicated world... here a 53 year old essential kid gets to be just herself and not be anyone others think she is.

good to see you here. maybe some day a review or something from you.

Yes Salooni, that's him. He's doing the show 'Mrs. Pammi Pyarelal' which started yesterday on Colours, 7pm. The story is based on a Marathi movie 'Ashi hi banwa banwi'. A similar movie was remade in Telugu too. Hoping for Karan's sake that this show does well.
