The coldest
and cloudiest Friday is now, I can see my breath say when did it last snow
here? Fifty one years ago I am told,
Beem holds his hand to his chest. A lot
of snow. You can smell the precipitation
in the dark clouds drifting by. No one under
a half century old here has felt the first flakes of the white stuff. You’ve
never caught a crunchy flake on your tongue?
That would be nice to do, but not for long. I sent Suraksha down to buy me wool socks
from Prem Maya. Long johns, everything
warm is almost on me. The wool blanket
is necessary in the morning. Now at ten
in the morning that’s the only thing I don’t need right now. Aside from the elusive sun.
I don’t mind
going to sleep before nine but I’m not crazy about waking up before five.
What’s the difference anyways? Maya
cooks the vegetable curry outside on a fire.
Feeling nostalgia I suppose. For
the next week temps at night will get close to zero degrees Celsius. A red chili might warm me up for a minute but
holy cow I’m freezing afterwards. What
is that all about?
For the past
four day boys have been dismantling the Prem Maya Tower. Wearing no safety equipment and no shoes, the
thin and ragged bunch on top and bottom as iron frames slowly descend by
rope. The new and improved view will be
good.
Forty nine
years ago Irish Catholics around the world lost one of their own and the curse
called on a family continues to this day.
Did I have anything to do with this curse? Of course not. I was only nine months old, but I did see the
anguish and sorrow and the fist shaking and God saw disrespect and together the
curse was enacted.
Such a silly
thing this curse crap is though you cannot refute.
Maya and I
took a walk to the grandparents for tomatoes, mustard leaves and other
pulses. My, the Christmas flowers sure
entice one to take a few pics. The
lalipati grows alongside the road, wherever it darn well pleases. Travelers check into rooms 1-3. Older American sounding men with white
hair. I bet we are similar in age but
they are big because of their steakhouse diet.
Sniff, I like steak. I enjoyed a
nice steak during my last night at in Dubai.
I walked by the Outback several times but because it’s in the Dubai Mall
they don’t have beer. And to boot, the
prices are so ridiculously high and they can’t say they’ve earned the right to
charge fifty clams for an eight ounce steak.
No bull way dudes.
So, here’s
