It's 4.30 in the afternoon and I'm...

... sitting at a fabulous little roadside cafe, in Mumbai, writing this post. It's probably the only city in India, where I could do this. Maybe I could in B'lore, but I highly doubt I would. So then, maybe I should rephrase my sentence to say - It's probably the only city in India, where I know I'd want to do this. 

I thought of many things that I could put down - about my afternoon here, my memories of this place, or even about my fabulous chocolate-caramel-banana-crepe. But, then I realized that there was only point that I wanted to drive home, over and over again. 

I love this city.

Realizations, Apologies & Confessions.

S,

Lately, I have been cold and though you can't seem to figure out why, I know only all too well. I wasn't thinking straight, and thanks to something that V said I've realized that I was wrong in thinking that way. Playgrounds look good from afar, but I'm sure that they will be as filthy if I go back. I don't want to go back to find out. Now that I'm grown up, I want to learn to appreciate what's with me now. So, as I publish this post, I promise to do just that. 

I am putting this down now, so whenever I doubt myself again, I come back to read this - to remind myself of this fabulous feeling of being in love. 

You should know that I fall in love with you over and over again, everytime that you:

- leave that small bit of breakfast for me, just because you know I like it. 

- offer to foot my shopping bills. All of them. 

- get that old-man look on your face, and you actually think you look just 22!  28 is old, you know!

- loose a carrom game to me deliberately, just because I am such a sore looser. 

- come to check on me in the kitchen, when I make Saturday breakfast & tea.

- wear my pink t-shirt, when you have no other option.

- demand that I make you maggi in the middle of the night. 

- email me between those thousand meetings just to say that you miss me. 

- hug me when I need it most.

- call to put me to sleep - even if we speak for just 1:43 minutes. It makes the day worthwhile. 

- say 'I love you,' even when I don't. 

- continue to love me, even when I think I don't. 

The only time I don't love you is when you tell me to stop buying shoes. That - I don't appreciate. I really don't. 

S - I love you tons and tons. Can't imagine a day go by without you. Thank you for being in my life. 

Forever & Always...
