I wish you were here. Or I were there. Or both of us were somewhere. The high gardens of my imagination lie barren. I need to talk to you. About words. About restlessness. About fear. About an injury in my knee. About Frangipani. About the bright green tint of a Carlsberg beer bottle. About sleepiness.
The other day you came to the café. I spoke a little out of anxiety.
“Baat karne aaye ho kya?”
I looked at you, inside you. I went silent. You stirred your coffee. You cried silently. I later told someone that we had met. He enquired about you, wanting to know whether you were happy. With you one never knew, I told him. He nodded. He understood.
Happiness is not for us. We are seekers – of what lies ahead of happiness. Of what lies beneath it.
Frangipani can only exist in our imagination. The high gardens of our lives will stay barren.
That is the script; that is the plot.

I love the way you express your thoughts and feelings
great!!!
It's sad, too sad. Like several of your earlier posts. Painful, yet beautiful. Like several of your earlier posts.
Rahul, I dont know how you conjure this magic. You really need to write more often - I believe that was one of your new year resolutions..
Thank you, Adarsh. Sarika, painful, yes.
Karan, man where have you been? You just disappeared. Wrote me a mail long ago. and then what happened?
Rahul, I have been intending to write to you and hear your thoughts (and hopefully get some help :-)) on something small that I am starting. My website should be up and ready in a week which will give you a better idea on what I intend doing. Will write soon. On a separate note, hope to read more stories soon.
That is the script; that is the plot.

i stood in front of the three panels of Monet's water lilies and thought of you.
When I saw the swirls of van gogh's postman, I forgot who else was with me and i thought of u.
we meet through paintings and poetry. paint and ink. hugs and muses.
is this a love note?
i donno. maybe it is?
what love? another figment of my imagination?
