No Easter without Good Friday

Melancholy 101

There are times when you want the comfort of a familiarity you once knew... when things were simple and beautiful. Been humming this cult tune because it gives me that home of yesterday.

Reminds me of so much....

my grandma & her pure, selfless love

actually all my grand parents who found us so funny in our innocence & who cared for us & looked at us with that look of knowing love & pity thinking 'o what lives they have to face', giving in to our obstinate pleas for attention

my days with cousins, playing crazy, thinking we'd all conquer the world one day..

my mom who thankfully is the spitting image of grandma and her untiring efforts to keep us all going no matter what she's going through

my endless days & sleepless nights as zombie mom with my 2 monsters who refused to sleep ... & this song & another one that would be on loop to get them to sleep...

all wrapped up in this one song..

The Old, new-Old & new-New

After a certain age, on a daily basis, there are a thousand things to nudge & remind one about the ever increasing age. And then there's also some age beyond which you cease to care or you're oblivious to how old you actually are. Case in point - my in-laws, now well into their 70's-80's, who were discussing on how pension delivered home is a facility for the aged - not them! I havent got there yet.. I guess I'd have to be really lucky to get there. Im still figuring out the former state and it can be cruel at times - to say the very least! One such reminder came during one of those pesky family zoom calls (o man! things that the pandemic has done beyond its expected onslaught..), I was trying to be cheerful & crack a joke. No sooner had I said it than my first born rolled her eyes, slapped her forehead & walked away completely embarrassed by me! Made me realize how this defective gene was passed on from dad to me & how I used to be the one embarrased of him. Karma is a bitch! So anyway, as old makes way for the new-old & the new-new, Im trying to enjoy as much of the sunshine before my work is done. Atleast there's no pressure any more to look pretty :P Silver linings!

PC - Mom & PC -me She planted, I photographed

Heavy shoulders

Going crazy as I step in to do something someone taught me long ago! Those visuals keep flashing before my eyes every few minutes. I so desperately wish I could share this with you... I hope I dont let you down!
