I too feel like running
That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when … Continue reading

I want a sister! (Happy Birthday Vineet!)
22 years ago on this day my brother Vineet was born. When Mom was carrying Vineet I would talk to her tummy every day. Every day before going to sleep I would kiss it. I wanted a sister (not sure why) and I would always treat my would-be sibling as a “she”.
One fine day he was born. I was at the daycare center; my aunt (Sobha Amaye (Amaye=bua in Mallu)) picked me up and we went to the hospital in the bus. I don’t remember the exact conversation but I have a distinct impression that she was trying to convince me that a brother will also make a very good friend. We reached the hospital, I was still not convinced so I was a bit sad. Mom says I created a scene… but I guess when I saw Vineet lying between 2 tiny pillows beside Mom I fell in love with him, my anger melted away. Mom says it took full 3 days to pacify me totally… but I guess the real hard work was done by Vineet himself
Happy Birthday Vineet! Continue reading
