Okay, my first instinct is to just quickly jot down a few points and be done with it. But I will try to not do that. Get through it quickly and be done with it is exactly the way I have been getting through my days so far. But let me slow down and really take my time through this.
Yes, the churn and chaos in my heart are difficult emotions to process. But it's okay. Even in the midst of this and with whatever is happening around, here are a few things that I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. I saw him today and he looked so fresh and cute in his salmon pink shirt and black shorts. He has started to look like a child.
2. We had such a lovely talk. He told me stories of the times he would travel through the Strait of Hormuz when he was a marine engineer. He has lived through so much...even just from a geopolitical perspective. It was quite nice.
3. Cook had made sabudana khichdi. And I had that with potato fry, curd, and yummy nolen gur that she had gotten from Kolkata.
4. Had the resources to go and come by auto. That, honestly, in times like this is precious.
5. Am safe. Am alive. When I read about the bombings and all those escalations, I am just so grateful that even with a crashed out nervous system and all, I still have some more time to figure out a few things. Really truly grateful for that.
