Re-planting the Passion!

-

 Yesterday morning I dug a one and a half feet deep pit near our christmas tree, to relocate the passion fruit vine growing on my terrace in a sack. I needed a deeper pit but tree’s roots were quite huge and was not giving way. I settled for the smaller pit size. 

At noon, Ujwal and mom helped plant the 15 feet vine. The passion fruit plant gave flowers, but it wasn’t giving fruits while it was in the sack. It had all the nutrition, water and sun. 

Maybe it needed more root space to anchor itself, to be grounded. It may wither away, or maybe cows will pull on its leaves killing the plant, rendering this an absolute failure.

Similarly, I’m relocating my mindspace, to anchor myself, absorb my nutrients and grow. It’s just slow work in progress. I’ve obsessively taken a big risk with this passion. Pun intended. Maybe I’ll fail, but what if I fly?

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
