But on the brighter side, I can concentrate on things like dead rats , roads, a chocolate wrapper discarded by some arrogant person, a hanging toilet cleaner, and of course self portraits.

HOME

Home is where you keep your windows open, The doors ajar The plants watered. Home is where the curtains are towels and The other way round. The beds have a distinct smell The smell of all the decades passed by Home is where each square foot of the side wall, ceiling, and the floor have heaps of memories, some squared, some boxed and some unsquared. Home is where you reach it even in a blindfold You still feel the warmth when it is cold, No matter what, home is where we are all Bold. Home is where you have enough spare changes, parched clothes, damped eyes, and clamped memories Home is you, Home is a clean toilet, Home is web cobbed corners And moss covered parapets Allergic carpets And lost pets

Indoors when it Rains

Indoors become the play area for kids - the younger generation run to the balcony to click some photos - the older generation run to the terrace to get the drying clothes- chairs and sofa will become the makeshift drying lines - BESCOM cuts the power supply - the umbrellas are opened to bring milk to make tea- piping hot tea is prepared to be drank on the balcony. Lots of commotions yet everyone seems teeming with life when it rains.  For me the slow drizzle outside, makes the indoor spaces more intimate, the smell of the rain sets a mood that can't be achieved through anything else. On the warm summer afternoons, I sit on my bed and day dream about the rainy evenings. The thought itself brings unexplainable joy. Please View the photos in full screen mode.
