A Hundred Days Of This - Day 6

Tired brain. Drooping eyes.

Would you be interested in reading a poem I wrote sometime ago?

Distance 

Maybe it's not entirely about the distance between us.

It's about me thinking of what you would be doing right at this moment.
It's about me wishing that you could taste this sandwich I made.
It's about me wanting to show you how beautiful the moon is tonight.
It's about me waiting the whole day just for you to pick up the phone and call.
It's about me planning to take you out to this café because I heard the coffee there is good.
It's about me hoping someday soon we'll watch these beautiful sunsets together.
It's about me praying that nothing erases that sweet smile on your face.
It's about me longing to melt into your arms when I can no longer carry my burdens.
It's about me wondering if you too feel all of this for me when I'm not there next you.

Maybe it's not entirely about the distance between us, but a lot more about how closer it brings us now.

All those who are in LDRs, I get it. Sure it is difficult but hang in there. It does get better with time. 

And that's Day 6 for you!

A Hundred Days Of This - Day 2

I planned an amazing surprise last night for my husband's birthday only to reveal it myself accidently before he got the chance to discover it. A quintessential 'thaalam vesithini, gollem marachithini' scenario. Sigh. But he didn't complain at all because hey, he got to joke about it all day long!  Today I took inspiration from Monika Gellar and cleaned up (half of) our apartment. Thank you husband (he made me type this, ugh!) We also got to know that going through IKEA website is an interesting activity for a couple and decided that a mandolin slicer is an absolute necessity. It is all fun and games until the man drops the word air fryer in every second sentence he speaks. Do we have space? No. Will he use it regularly? No. Then why the obsession? I do not know.  And also this happened. Cute no? An advice for today before I close this long, fun and eventful day - do no trust Elsamma. IYKYK. And that's Day 2 for you!

A Hundred Days of This - Day 1

It is 7 am here and I can see the sky slowly brightening and the snow glistening. It has been almost 4 months since I moved out of India and unlocked a new level of adventure - figuring things out from the scratch in your 30s. S krämmande men intressant!  Today marks the first day of the Telugu month - Maargasiram, according to our lunar calendar, and it is one of my favourite times of the year. Back at home my mother would cook the kattu pongali with a proportion of ghee, cashews and black pepper that warms up the soul instantly. She would also croon, probably itti mudduladi baaludedavaadu, randomly throughout the day and that song eventually becomes an earworm with me catching myself humming it along with her. She would also play the Bapu and Ramana's version of Thiruppavai on YouTube. My father would go to the Mahalakshmi temple in West Marredpally early in the morning and return with another delicious version of the pongali. Maybe it is not much but these are the things I remem...
