ten things six
1) the night of my arrival: a thousand moons (one for every puddle) shone up into the sputtery, blustery end-of-moonsoon midnight as a thousand small parades converged dancing at the seashore to toss a thousand elephant headed Ganeshes into the ocean. flower petals in my hair, red gulal powder on my shoulders, and betel nut staining my lips.
2) TMNT (a definition from the back of a packet of New! India's Minty Mischief! Potato Chips)
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a fictional team of four anthropomorphic turtle mutants, who are trained by their Sensei, Master Splinter, to become skilled ninja warrriors. From their home in the sewers of Manhattan, they battle petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien invaders, all while remaining isolated and alienated from society at large.
3) In India, even the dookie sparkles:
4) sweetlimewater, morningnoonandnight
5) NO PARKING - TYRES WILL BE DEFLAYTED! ENTER ONLY THRU BACKSIDE! MEETING PREPONED - NOW 8:00 AM! DO NOT PERFROM NUISANCE IN PUBLIC! and
6) counting the jewels in the queen's necklace, sitting cold white on the brown green bay on this thick warm night
7) the saffron flag with the silver tassels in the shit-smelling air
8)
sunday aft'noon, cricket on the maidan
9) aloneness but not loneliness
