Some times its just enough to listen and be told what to do
sometimes its just enough to have ‘amma’ run her fingers through your hair
or tell you what exercise to do and why
with evidences (of proved effectiveness)from her friends list
sometimes its just great to have ‘achan’ get you your favourite eat
and advice you to read more or write more
sometimes all you need is to sit down with your mom dad
fretting over what how less or more you eat
or how good or bad you are at something
sometimes its just a walk to the beach
or a visit to the thali temple
or a dinner at Paragon Hotel
or a trip to your uncle and aunt
who will serve you pickled gooseberries
or nicely cooked ‘vazha pindi’
and listen to old times talk for old times sake
and carry a bit of that borrowed sunshine back
to last you for a timed existence
of meeting dead end/line-s and making pretenses
of living happily ever after!
