I'm so sleepy...I have a release today and I'm waiting for the release token..Till it comes its the calm before the storm..
Its been almost a month since I went back home..I hope my mom hasnt tried to clean my cupboard before I go home again..My secret love letters and cards..It would be so embarassing for her...(you thought it would be for me??Nay!!)...I loved my room the day I saw it with unplastered walls..There would be two sets of windows..As I imagined I always kept them open..With the curtains of my choice and a creamy paint it was my world..I watched the sun and rain from those windows..Cried copious amount of tears in the nights over heart breaks and indifferent friends...talked endlessly by its side over the phone on rainy nights..
What I enjoyed the most are the coffee's I had watching the blue sky with my books open...I used to stare endlessly at the figures the clouds made..That was a game I felt..Asking to me to guess...And I kept guessing..An elephant??A damsel??A rabbit...till my mom comes and whacks me for day dreaming...
This was a ritual the stares,games and whacking...But then after I moved out for college and work..I never spent much time in my room..I dont sit there as I used to..I go there to sleep or to dress up when I'm going out..The only think I do now as I used to is..the hour long conversations over the phone in the night..(And act as if I didnt hear when my mom comments that she could hear me at 1am in the night also.."Doesnt this girl need any sleep at all??")
Now when I open my room window and look I can see a garish orange coloured apartment..What happend to my cool blue sky fringed by the cocunut trees..The cool breeze that swept my face..I can understand modernisation and the growth of my town into a metro suburb...But my mind still yearns for that game with the clouds...
And sitting here I wish I could be back home..sipping a cup of coffee and staring at my piece of blue sky...Cocooned from all pain and weary..In my own world...I pray to god..For a piece of blue sky ....
