all night long conversations with old friends...unwrapping the promises of the past 3 years and gift wrapping promises for the coming many. an early morning breakfast at the favorite breakfast joint. one more memory tucked away neatly. from the small fifteen minutes of the boisterous evening at the chai walla to the long hour at the hitherto unknown temple. sitting. staring. playing with those beautiful eyes. listening to the birds. walking back in time.
a small victory. a faint smile. an old story remembered and retold. of swings and blossoms in the spring to the noisy quailing of the children in the summer heat. the mirth of old laughter arousing new laughter. and then the quaint touch of those delicate hands that reminds that it is time to go. back to the crowd. back to the books. back to the present. back to wherever it is along with her...for the moment.
wandering the by lanes of nostalgia and watching the sights of old, hold on to the last vestiges of the chasm of my memory, fighting for one last remembrance.

"the tryst of a nomad
is not with time or distance nor companion.
cause just walking in small steps in any direction
all will lead to someplace new."

...thank you brother, for understanding that movement is the crux of all thought and action. forward, backwards and sideways. we move. we change...
and in between, in the present, in our dreams & thoughts, हम यह लम्हा फिलहाल जी ही लेते है|
Miladysa: thank you Milady! missed you...where were you?

Chriz: it's funny how i happen to click pictures and lock them away in the vault, only for them to re-emerge someday along with an impulsive assortment of words and emotions.
Charsi: aww! don't ya worry. even if i go walking through the Amazonian jungles and stumble upon a lost cache of Indian gold. when i sit down to rest my aching limbs, i shall be thinking of you.
i am still here. i haven't gone yet. so why worry, yet?
:) *HUGZ*

Mehreen: memories are the one thing that are a constant companion to us nomads as we traverse the world from one place to another, taking the memories with us, sharing them, and in the process building new memories. of friendship and love.
...its a long walk home anyways!
