I'm feeling a sense of loss, a sense of hopelessness, of having reached a dead end- why? Because I've finished with the book I was reading. This is how I feel every time I finish a book. This time it was Paulo Coelho's "Veronica decides to die". I had been hearing about this book for some time now and was waiting to read it. A dear friend gifted it to me and I pounced on it right away. The feeling of euphoria lingered during every waking moment , and as I neared the end, I wanted to prolong the effect but Alas, its over...
I liked the book, but I liked "Eleven minutes" better.
I've got a job- and I'm enjoying it. But yes, it keeps me very busy with hardly any time for blog hopping.
I've been wanting to mention 'our songs'- a tag that I saw doing the rounds here.
Our songs are:
Dil tadap ke keh raha hai- Madhumati
Tere mer milan ki yeh raina- Abhimaan
Raaga devanum, Naada kanyayum ( Chamayam-Malayalam)
And the gibberish words I used to( I still do sometiems) call my sons:
Shonna vaava, vaava thutti, chanda kutti, chunglani kolomonas, dikkirivaale shodalge, kannaa, chakkara kutti, thulik. ( Plain gibberish)
ammade kannale, mutthalle, paalalle, thenalle, venna alle, sharkara alle, ayyo urumbarikkyum.( momma's sweet meats- gosh- the ants will come crawling...)
And with these words I remerge out of the frozen cocoon yet again...

Glad about your re-emergence! :) You are one of the few sensitive writers.
I love the title of your blog: wish I had it. Only that life moves too fast these days to muse in the twilight. Still, there is something magical about that hour. In the north, they call it 'godhuli' -- or the cow-dust hour.
thanks....thats so sweet!!
The songs, hmmm. Who can forget them!
