Nothing like a Himalayan dusk to make you inhale sharply. Is there?
By the way, hands up those who know the ditty behind the title of this post. đ

"A city is more than a place in space,
it is a drama in time."

There's a piece I wrote some years ago, borne of intense longing for Home. In it, I run-fly through Kala Ghoda, through silent streets wet from a drizzle. Link in the bio if you want to read. Otherwise, just enjoy a slice of my stunning city. âĽď¸

Today in esoteric pictures: A view that means so much to me, as I return 9 years on, and grieve for lost time and people since departed.
To the world, this could be anywhere. To me, this is all the world, chock full with memories, brimming over with love and loss and a hella lot of living.

I wonder what I thought of it before 1997. Because after The God of Small Things was published, this became my very own 'house with a hat pulled low over its ears'.
There used to be a tabela right next to it. It reminded Mum of a nativity scene, she'd always say. If nativity scenes had buffaloes.
This time around, I asked why it had vanished. Someone stole three of the four buffaloes, I was told. And so the shed with its single electric bulb at night and the sounds of its gentle inhabitants are gone.
And I wonder silly things. Like do the buffaloes that now amble past miss their friends? Was I foolish to think about this scene for years on the other side of the world when it didn't exist anymore? In how many ways does Home seep into our crevices and lodge itself there, even as the world changes around us?
Gosh. Home. .

An ancient home, crumbling with memories, brimming over with cousins, Monopoly, George Michael, and summer afternoons longer than the shoreline.
