dehradun days

you meet them for the first time,

knowing it's probably the last.

might as well make the most of this time,

since life comes at you fast.

you find the strangest of signals

in the no-network zones.

cross-tent communication with folks,

just rambling about the unknown.

there's the warmth of shared laughter,

that carries you through freezing nights,

and you look up at the flickering stars,

to finally see things in a different light.

and at 11,000 ft above sea level

you finally reach the peak,

just to realise the joy was in the journey,

and the friends you made that week.

you'll visit caves & splendid cafes,

and remember the city in mere parts,

but years later, you'll still tell everyone,

how dehradun captured your heart.

✿︎ साल का वो मौसम जिसकी हमें चाहत होती है,और नर्सरी में फूलों की आहट होती है, शहर में बस्ती है खुबसूरती, और दिल में खुश रहने की मर्जी! ✿︎

Desi Readers Assemble

i wonder why we don't have season specific reading cultures of our own. the west has its goth novels, earth tones, spiced lattes and dried leaves as bookmark autumn. in a climate such as ours, we could do romance, poetry, pastels, flowers as bookmark spring. ykwim.

why don't we come together and develop a reading culture with specific aesthetics for each of the primary seasons south and south-east asia experiences? reblog this with your ideas please

Phoolmandi

There are dried leaves floating in the sluggish water, next to what's supposed to be a drain.

A couple of old men sit under an unbroken tent, sipping chai and reading the day's newspaper.

A discarded piece of the 'Sunday Times' lies on the road, half drenched in water and half in aroma.

In the street across, there's chatter and autos and cycles pass by with utmost difficulty, crunching abandoned flowers.

The footpath gleams like a kaleidoscope.

Welcome to the Phoolmandi.

A man, half naked, pierces his fingers making the 100th garland of the day.

A young man, timidly buys a gulaab, in hushed tones.

There is a little girl playing with her friends adorning herself with yellow and orange marigolds. "I, too, am a Queen", she softly whispers.

A vendor, passes by the road, too unbothered, living the same mundane life. Flowers here and flowers there, his senses no longer catch the smell of 'rajnigandha'

A middle aged man, tired of his everyday routine, crosses the very same street on his way to the chai ki dukaan. He drops a piece of the 'Sunday Times' on his way to his one room apartment.

The windows to his room open, a woman in a red saree looks at the phoolmandi, and gently puts the mogre ka gajra in her hair.
