prelim party plans


11.23.2012

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 the prelims on the party.
