this cousin of mine, four years younger to me called me yesterday. she had gotten married this year in feb. she is pregnant. the child is due in jan . am so happy for you, S . i know you will be good mother.
but now i will be so lectured and gossiped and pitied by all the relatives. for past four years , every time someone gets pregnant whether it is friends, relatives or neighbors , we have to go thro these verbal labor pains . i swear am ready to puke now .
and what do you tell them that will satisfy them , make them back off ? aren’t there enough children already ? and anyways to have them should be the parents call , shouldn’t it ?
i am not going to have a child bcoz someone thinks it is about time . i have to take care of the child not them . so i will have one when i think i can . if they want one , they can have one themselves.
and jhoom left yesterday . and i religiously went into depressed mode.
fashion street , noodle bar and chopsticks , linking road , haji ali , that almost illegally tasty cream at the juice shop , the ever preferential pop tate’s , fab India, café mocha , war of the worlds , sarkar , tattoo , beach, in orbit , subway et all . we covered them all and some more. even though i was not well and bed ridden for full 2 days.
and then compared to that, it was so nauseatingly immobile on sunday , hence the miserable me. nish had a couple of meetings yesterday , so there was me and the tv , with nothing to watch . i was missing her so much.
so now there is another rule for staying-at-sanguine ‘s-flat – “no one will leave my house on a weekend. go on a weekday , so that i don’t miss you so much. i don’t care whether it suits your plans or not. it is too much to handle for me.“ *sniff*

“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.” so i intend to write the words. again . here. with honesty. for myself.
