One of the joys of watching #owls is that no two behave exactly the same. So, while this is not the first time a spotted owlet has acted like I had stolen its lunch and insulted its mom, there will never be another that quite looks at me this way.

The dark clouds gather like a saucer over the house's cup, giving force to the winds and speed to the birds. The sawing of metal at a construction site competes with an airplane slicing the unseen sky, and as the clouds drift and the light appears again, my thoughts too congeal.

Chocolate cake for no reason. Sun and rain, yin and yang, empty nester’s joy of having daughter home, sadness looming over back to school countdown. Life!

The sky, at last. Birds on a wire, held by the wind. Our steps in sync, we walk toward ourselves, talking about the things that matter. Our breaths warm, our voices calm, and all this, a dream, a poetic unfurling of a bruise-blue evening, kissed by the pearl-bellied moon.

Like the sparse rain folding in on itself while falling from full clouds, the day too, an idea bubble for something unreachable, a blip in a universe filled with colourless days, has crashed sideways. So hollow, one might say, and so full of the light one can only see later

I sit on the balcony, ogling at the blueness of the evening sky,. The neighborhood comes to me in the form of: chants from a nearby temple, the smell of a eucalyptus-y mosquito repellent, rainflies circling above the neighbor’s still-damp clothesline #eveningporch @morningporch

Geeking out on @neiltyson 's theory of the sci-fi-ification of #Zoom, which has broken the space-time alliance, and the idea of converging world lines. Why didn't it occur to me in such a profound way?

I am now that Bengali whose tongue is no longer suited to carry the finer nuances of Hindi. I ask people to khao their chai. Bhery soon I hweel be talking like Momota Di and going kutush kutush after those who are pains in the neck. From my gola to your ears, that's it then! Bye.

You respect someone because you respect them.
Not because you’re scared of them.

It's 2021 - officially the worst year to be a freelancer in the travel space, and multi-million dollar companies still want you to work on barter!

The evening's sounds come in from across the compound wall & the street below: hammering at a construction site & the rhythmic laughter of children playing outside after long. With the weather's waywardness in check, the barbet's song is crisper, like my girl's, in my ears.
