This thought started after I watched the Movie Three of Us. We watch something, we read something, and it stirs something.
Happens!!!!!?????
Well lately its been happening a lot with me. Why??? Wellllll maybe I am missing something or someone. Or with age catching up and emotions running wild I am looking for my ANCHOR. Or maybe something else.
To be honest, “I have no clue”!!!!
As of now taking ahead what I wrote in my last blog. Not having a Bachpan ka Ghar. There is so much more to it. The known smells, the known places the familiarity and most important food that I can call my comfort food. Yes, I know I know you might say likes and tastes change as we grow and according to our age. But!! But isn’t there some food you think back and can almost feel the waft of that from the kitchen or just close your eyes for a moment and can feel the taste. Yes, right there!!!! That’s what I am talking about.
The people you know as a child “ Pados wali aunty, gali ke shuruwat me ghar hai unka woh chacha aur woh sindhi ki dukan, jinko pehle hi pata hota hai main kiski natin hun aur mujhe kaunsi chocolate pasand hai”. There are so many such memories. Now I close my eyes and walk on the streets and talk to those people in my mind. That familiarity of a place that instantly reenergises a person being a Man or a Woman its unmatched. Well I do miss all that sometimes and those familiar people to talk to.
I had three such places to call mine in a way but never mine so to speak. One by one lost all of them including the things that could have been my memoirs from that time. I do funnily think that I could time travel for a bit and recharge and come back. Just feel that air, walk those lanes, smile back at those known faces.
Do you dream of such? What memories you have from those days, Care to Share????
Sigh !!!! All we can is relive those in the crevices of our complicated minds.
