From the previous blog you must have gotten an idea of what I think of life. It comes in the middle & it's a finger, go figure. But I must confess I did love life for a whole 5 minutes. Yes, I know, where is your integrity Kaavya? Why can't you stick up for something you believe in? But in my defense, life does that to you sometimes. It sneaks up behind you & goes "Zseeuuu" & you have to love it. The circumstances in which I fell in & out of love may not be as amazing & life altering as you think. I had just gotten out of my tuition & switched on my I-pod( which is now dead, may Miu rest in peace) & I started walking home. It was one of those days where you could feel the weather oozing into you, seeping through the pores in your skin. A light breeze ruffled my hair & the sky clouded up. Deep Market may not be the best place to have such revelations. There's muck & filth everywhere. Kids in tattered clothes standing outside the temple begging for a grain or two, dogs scratching & biting their ass, constant work-in-progress & people spitting & peeing so freely you'd think YOU were intruding their privacy & who can forget the lecherous men who stare at anything without a mustache or maybe with a mustache too, no, not a place for such events . But that day I chose to ignore all the perverts & dirt. That day I chose to look up at the sky while trance music flooded my ears & I felt like I was in a movie. My heart felt passionate for the first time. I wanted to scream & shout, but you can't do that nowadays without being judged so I told myself to calm down. I was smiling without any rhyme or reason & people were giving me strange looks, "Does she know something about me? Do I have my breakfast stuck in my teeth? Damn, I knew I should have brushed", that's what they were probably thinking.
And then as I walked & fell in a deep whirlwind romance with life, I reached home. & there it ended. I still miss you Life. Please come back. I'm still not over you. Take me back. Please, please, pretty please?
I still remember the high, I still remember everything of those 5 minutes, we could still be friends.
