This evening, Aji left for the US for a month and a half. It's been a rainy day, and a rainy evening too. I'm glad I wasn't alone, saying bye to her.
Shamoo will leave soon. Strangely, this makes me feel more and more like sticking close to Pune, and wearing it around my shoulders like a cloak, wrapped tight and safe.
And while I'm in that cloak, I'll hope and wish that all those people who're leaving have a great deal of stories to tell me when they're back!

birthday greens

Birthday was very leafygreen, with lovely company. 

Missed you both. 

24's nice so far (:

I went here

Drummers Galore!

I had the best sunday in a long long time. The TamTams is this drum circle festival, where hundreds of people get together with all sorts of percussion instruments every sunday through the months of summer in this large park, and Jam. There are people dancing, playing music and chilling out. It was out of the world, literally. I cant tell you just how much i missed you two, and Gautam. I took all these pictures only to show you how much fun it was :) We have to come here together sometime.

I am suffering from some superficial identity complex today!

Actually as i am beginning to write I already feel much better. Somehow writing to you guys already makes me so much more at home, its comforting retrieving to this space. 

This urban landscape, is getting to me. I need spaces which are more organic, less manicured. The question I ask myself often is whether I would be happy living in a country outside of my own?

i'm loving being with my cousins but i miss my brother. the circle is incomplete. there isn't anyone to smirk to about the curly R's and nasal O's in words like xerox. i found these pictures on my computer by accident, i think he forgot to delete them. joy!
