Like gravity, silent, invisible, There’s a pull I can’t unfeel. Your presence tugs at my orbit, Mine shifts to the way you move. We never touch,  See, smell, taste or feel,  Yet something in the space between Hums with a quiet force.  We attract like opposites do: Positive and negative, North and south, Two poles that shouldn’t meet Bur we lean in. And in that pull, In that delicate tension, We become, A universe of our own.

I went to Kuki’s concert today Carbon! We were all blind folded for the show. I helped set up and wind up the show. It was a lot of work. There were cocktails and lots of food, which I avoided.  I also hung out with Anaita and Siddharth. They are so damn cool, Siddharth and Anaita are engaged. We called each other a lot of bad words in Malayalam.  Zui and I were appreciated for the mushrooms we grew. We are planning to scale this up as well.   

What crime have I committed? To walk against the rhythm of their parade, To speak in colours they cannot name, To love without a map or measure? She was the spark that set my sky on fire, A fleeting comet I could never hold. Still, her light etched constellations On the walls of my soul. I know she’s not mine, she never was, A river that only passed through my dream. Yet I’ll love her quietly, endlessly, Like the horizon loves the sun it can’t keep.

Lime juice with soda and some salt! This is my go to drink nowadays. This feels like luxury! I think I’m addicted . Really don’t care what it does to my body. But it’s amazing! Just love the taste of it.  Also, I feel like taking 2 slices of bakery bread and slathering a fat layer of peanut butter and eating it!  I’d also love to eat some Duck! Peking Duck to be precise. The crispy skin and soft meat! Yummy! The taste lingers on.  I have to keep my cravings in check! GOD HELP ME! 

 Zui came over today and we jammed for 4 hours trying to figure out her solo. It was not a very productive day but it was a lot of learning. I really liked her approach to solos, she played a lot of octaves not sticking to the usual meandering on scales, lot of thought put together. Also she thinks notes while I think in patterns. We also spoke about a lot of things and she gave me recipes and ideas for my diet. I dropped her at the metro station and then Denzil came over I took him to eat pani puri. 

Dear Universe, I feel you all around me, in the quiet, in the air, and in the spaces between my thoughts. I miss you every single day. If I could turn back time, I would relive it all and change a few things, just enough so we could have our moments again. Please continue to be kind to me. I want to stay connected with you. Maybe only death can truly bring us together, when I finally dissolve into you and become one with everything.

Johanson got me on the guest list for the Steven Wilson concert! I went early and pulled Andy in,  he just wanted to drop me off at Bharatiya City. While collecting the tickets, the vendor asked how many were on my guest list. I said, “Two!” He handed me two Diamond passes, which gave us VIP entry. We were right by the stage but decided to catch the concert near the sound console instead. The show had incredible trippy visuals, surround sound, and a few familiar tunes. The musicians were all in their 60s, yet they still put on an amazing performance! Can’t wait for Dream Theater next year!
