Gyre of life

There are some days that make you feel like a vegetable developing roots...time just stagnates around you and then there are some that turn you around 180 degrees making you ecstatic ( you drink) or extremely upset (of course you drink) (in either of the case..you throw up...who says human reaction is unpredictable??) My weekend was a 180 degree rotation.. heres why:

Saturday

I met sanjay after a long week..we went to C.P. together and had sumptuous lunch at banana leaf( its one of the best restraunts for south indian food in delhi) Its a small place and offers no decor but the food is brilliant.At 5 we went to Pvr Plaza for The Last Lear i loved the movie...its a must must watch for all theatre enthusiasts.

We stepped out of the theatre at 7.30 to find the roads deserted... there had been 5 serial blasts in Delhi (two in cp) within 45 minutes...As we walked that road outside plaza suddenly devoid of life and exuberance on a saturday evening my only thought was the fragility of human life and happiness...Someone somwhere must have 'planned' a perfect saturday with family...

Maybe we're just creatures in search of exaltation. We dont have much of it. Our lives are not what we deserve;they are, let us agree, in many painful ways deficient.

Sunday

Today in the evening i was trying to paint our पूजा। Im actually a kumaoni and we paint our puja place in red and white and there are a few typical designs that are used...it looks beautiful, iv put a picture on top.. so basically i was just trying to be a good daughter and while i was at it my elbow knocked down the bottle of white paint and i spilt it on my feet,my hand and on the floor..its 8 now and im trying to get this paint off me and my mother is grumpily mumbling. Sigh!!!
