free from the jaws of death
i just spent 21 days in india, short time for some , eternity for most.. ignoring all cultural boundaries n social norms, mean ol' me mellowed down n reaffirmed my status as an unlikable person... community leaving has it perks but i am pretty spurned n bitter by the multitude of aspects which i'll selectively mention a few in this entry.
food was neva a problem for the roving gourmet but it did leave me with a cough i can't get rid off even up till today ( hmmm makes me think of "a man's meat is poison to another") . if u think about how virus n diseases are spread in general.. you will get a vague picture of what i am driving at.. airborne, water borne.. how it festers in one leaves me speechless most of the time.. literally speechless.. (PAPADS / papadums are like the vanguards of sore n itchy throats tt hampers the natural progression of a healthy n cough free atmosphere.) i was foolish enough to think i will not be affected.. was i blinded by something else?
environment was set on a backdrop of lush greenery and wide spans of farming ponds ( fish seems to be Z choice there :) ironically , dinner times favoured servings of "elping" chickens (the chickens literally called for help! hearing is believing) and eggs with lotsa veggies n fruits ( they have these grape like thing called the black ruby whereby the flesh is obtained by squeezing it out of its skin.I and lierong actually pitted against one another in a seed spitting bout with me emerging as the victor. she has been a nagging issue in my mind for i once treated as a bosom buddy, i had these wonderful idealistic notions that friends wld neva "break up". we did :(. this triggered off homo tendencies in me as a chain of events that happened concurrently sorta screwed my mind on female ties.. they are knotty, complicated n best of all frustrating but that's all cleared up by now .
i remember cookin on the second and fourteen night which all turned out pretty fine. if you thought burnt rice n charcoal grills are the kind of delicacies we are whippin out from our lil' kitchen. u are wrong, perhaps i will cook for u and then u can formulate yr own judgment...in yr dreams!! u go wish on a shooting star, hope it crashes on u..
i did witnessed two shooting stars thru out the whole trip and it all happened at the house. now i wld like to draw yr attention to our residence. its like a old colonial bungalow that looks big from outside but the interior wld be a challenge for us to mingle in for 15 days. the porch or frontyard faces the river directly which sets a direct viewing platform to magnificent sunrises day after day.
