Laughter rings next door
A glass dropped and still more laughs
Shrieking into the cold dark night.
Ha Ha Ha..whoah whoo whoo!
Happiness, bubbling around soap bubbles
Filling the air, floating around
Giving happiness around.
Do not stop the Christmas.
Do not stop the party.
Please.
Silence kills me.

I hide under you
cold night.
I hide the want
of warmth.
Are you the cause of the chill?
You are a camouflage of the cause.

A few short messages beeping.
Old old friends, they smile, they miss.
"We missed you so."
A cold stony night turns
soft.
The soul that wants to be wanted,
feels again.
The rejections froze it long ago.
A small crack,
Will it last?
Or the coldness will cover again.
December the 25th.

After 6 long years, for the first time we do not have a helper at home. It is just the 4 of us. It is more work, it is more care, it is more thoughtfulness, but it is certainly better. Home feels home.
Arunav not fully fit yet but he made us breakfast :) Aarushi had a long playdate with her age old friend Clarice, Rosie, Kirsty, etc. V guided them to make beautiful gingerbreads with sugar lace decorations which looked out of the world and made the kids rightfully feel very proud. The day swished past.
And now it's me again. I have a little time to sit by my window, by my desk, with my thoughts and my writing....the sun just went down, the mountains look dreamy afar, the lights begin to show up, the trees grow darker, the house is quiet, HK seems quieter - nature and super nature connects to us for a short while when we give them the chance... thoughts, connections, feelings, a few moments, the few stars.... before I go to the kitchen to cook something Arunav termed "...the yummiest because it's cooked by mamma..."
Is there something more powerful - the mountains seem to say yes.
Are there feelings beyond our consciousness - the stars seem to say yes.
Where is the creator of the painting, we do not search till intense pain forces us to.... but these few moments of silence shows glimpses of the creator omnipresent all around us, all within us - if only we take the time to look, push all away in a tremendous will to connect to that which is above us all and a love so overhwhelming covers us ... you can hear the omnipresent speak in the silence that surrounds us. Just a few moments, just a few minutes, you need no more.

As usual she is still the funny little person around the house without in the least bit meaning to be so.
After Arunav's checkup post-concussion, Aarushi must have overheard me telling the doctor's diagnosis of the situation to someone "...Arunav's body balance is still not totally ok and he needs more rest...."
Today morning in the taxi, she is fighting with Arunav and accused him,"...And because of you we have to cancel our vacation - only because you are not balanced!" :)

Arunav had it when he fell from almost a floor's height last Sat. I knew some vague stuff before - now I know a lot more. Let no one need to have such knowledge, but I am glad things aren't worse off. He is ok now, he remembers things now..... and we just thanked our angel god.

She left today.
My roommate of yester years.
It was the past seeping into the present;
A present too busy for past to come
except when enforced in physical form.
It was the physical form of past
that hovered as she flitted around.
We did not talk of past much,
we talked of kids, we talked of us
we talked of our work....
the past just floated around and dropped
once in a while in a word or so
and yet
it is the dreaminess of past that touched
it is the loveliness of youth that sparkled
it is the carefreeness of studenthood that tugged
it is the sweetness of love that smiled
making the present
mellowed, soft, light, like a kiss.
And as she left, the present swept in
to fill up the space left by the receding wave.
The pause between the past receding
and the present filling in
was my taxi ride back from the airport express.
My being filled with a tiny sadness undefined
A small echo of the past, disappeared
before it engulfed the present.
The kids came running out of the bus
"Mamma! Mamma"
The dream woke up.

I did not know when weekend started, when it ended. When another week went by, when ?
Friday we watched Life of Pi with a scared little Aarushi clinging onto me for her life (yeah what made me take her to that movie, again?!!), Arunav enjoying totally - specially when the big cat pissed on piscine, he guffawed the other audience out of the hall and in all that chaos we watched a movie on a Friday night - ensemble!
Saturday, French movie "le tableau" (c'etait super!), puja at a dear friend's house and more of such.
Today Sunday, we got out of home at 8.15am and re-entered at 6.30pm. HK junior chess championship 2012 which Arunav made sure I never forget. He reminded me to register to pay the money (he would have done it himself if he had access), put it in my calendar so we do not have any other appointment and reminded me every two weeks! Unlike the first school tournament, this one we took quite casually - mostly because we were just too busy with stuff. To our surprise Arunav won 5 out of 7 games and the last game was against a really tough opponent with 3 more years of experience than Arunav. Was his head in the clouds after that!
Yes, we missed the Sting in HK - maybe next time?
Tomorrow, 3 classes till I finish the day at 9.30pm again - but tomorrow's the last - yippie!
