http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?blogId=41 Musings of an addled mind KV 2023-08-31T10:31:53Z http://blogs.fullhyderabad.com/showblog.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=63&blogId=41 Yep, I'm going home :) For a much-awaited, delicious looong 4 day trip. I know the hours will be gne before i even say Jack Nicholson, but guess that's how it is. So, why now? ask ppl around me. Want to spend my birthday with my folks, I say. Oh! So there'll be a party, eh? Yeah, sure, I'll invite a few cows and maybe some goats, if i'm lucky. My Mum and Dad stay on the outskirts of a village, that's right, not even a village, but its outskirts. A human soul is almost hard to spot and the silence can be deafening. Just some mango groves and a couple of vegetable farms are all I can see from the kitchen, my Mum's abode,all 45*45 sq ft of it. The evenings zip by as I read my fave book swinging on a branch of an old mango tree, once laden with many a delicious fruit, now barren. Or play a game of cricket with the goatherd boys who have some absolutely bizzare rules and outwit me every single time. Calvinball wouldn't hold a candle to their game. I wonder how many people can walk over to their gardens every evening and pick the veggies they'd like to have for dinner. Ah! Organic food. There's a downside too. I go with one bag, come back with 2.5. I don't have the heart to remove any of the carefully packed loads of fresh vegetables my mum stacks in my bags when i'm not around. Aho! Neeways, Hasta la vista! I'll be back on Monday.

I plan to stick to my satellite for a while, but if a martian calls, I might jump. General 2004-05-05T21:21:13Z KV
