It was raining real hard outside;
the husband was just sitting there doing nothing (as always) and I thought to
myself, “Damn, there’d be too much
traffic tomorrow morning. I should leave earlier to office than usual. Maybe I
should make Aalu bajji or something. Vengaaya bajji would be awesome too. Or
use both aalu and onion and make bonda. Yum! Thinking about which, a cup of hot
chocolate or coffee would be a perfect match.”
The thought about hot chocolate
led to the memories of weekend afternoons when my husband and I would walk over
to the nearest Café Coffee Day and spend our time talking away about technology
or business ventures that never took off.
The thought about weekend
afternoons led to memories of umpteen bike rides to the airport just to have a
cup of coffee from Maiyas and enjoy
the view. Those were the times when Sidhu was not there and we could just
decide and head out in a matter of minutes without having to worry about
carrying diapers and bottles and rubber sheets and what not.
The thought about Sidhu reminded
me to check on him – had he woken up? Perhaps he had crawled over to the edge
of the bed? Damn, the bed is too high. I should probably order a play pen or a
wooden crib for him right away. Thinking of wooden furniture, I should ask
Sabal to take the car and drive us to Channapatna and get for Sidhu a walker.
Thinking about Channapatna, I
should also buy some wooden toys for Navaratri next year. Even though it is a
whole year away, I don’t know if I would be able to go all the way to
Channapatna before that.
Thinking about Navaratri, how
nice it would be if Sidhu were a girl baby! I would have dressed her up in
pattu pavada chattai and decorated her hair with flowers and took her to see
Golu to all my relatives’ and neighbours’ houses and after a few years, maybe
teach her to sing songs and all.
Sigh… I looked at my husband. I
asked him what he was thinking. He said, “Nothing.” NOTHING? How can anyone not
think of anything? Somebody answer me before my next train of thoughts begin.
If yr husband did not think anything by that time then it means he might have done with vipasana meditation I guess .
