Today my blog crossed 1 million hits. I have written the blog for a long, long time. I have abandoned it several times, then resumed, then changed its focus, then just kept it around like an abandoned and dusty park bench, sometimes cleaned it up for a nice respite in the shade. Am I happy? I don't know. I was but I just had a difficult interaction with someone and had to get out of a car and get a cab home. So there was anger there. A lot of anger there. But I am immensely glad that I could do it. That I could keep a blog going for this long even though a lot of people said a lot of things. Or when a lot of people ignored it the way people ignore things that aren't lucrative. I have procrastinated so, so, so much in life...that THIS steadiness feels like the invincible summer in me that Camus wrote about.
Well, I want to think about this and write more in detail. But back to regular programming. Here are all the things I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. I didn't talk to him. But no frantic calls from home. So all good.
2. Tried out Cafe Nur in Horniman circle. The gud sherbet with sabza was very tasty. I had the paneer tikka and my friend had the biryani.
3. Am safe. For a little while when I stomped off the car and walked away in Mahim around 11:30, I was a little scared. But then stood somewhere and got a cab. Big relief.
4. I wrote about a book I read. Felt really good about that.
5. Had money to treat myself and live independently and take care of my father. I can't emphasize just how deeply important that is to me.
6. Visited Hasanabad Dargah in Mazgaon with my friend. Beautiful soothing place.
