Beautifully written. If you get a chance try getting a copy of this book (sadly out of print, so may find it in a second hand book-store)

My favorite verse from this brilliant collection:

Red earth and pouring rain[1]
What could my mother be
to yours? What kin is my father
to yours anyway? And how
Did you and I meet ever?
But in love
our hearts have mingled
as red earth and pouring rain
[Translated by AK Ramanujan (Kuruntokai – 40)

Too many thoughts in a single piece, beautifully woven. I read fiction for different reasons, but the best part I liked in this essay was the ending note.

“life may be a box of chocolates, but whether you decide to eat ice cream instead is entirely dependent on you.” – Inspires me! Needed that bit, badly! :)

Looking forward..

Welcome back! OMG…what an amalgamation of thoughts all in one long essay. I’m so with you on the imaginary world we enter with fiction – the precise reason I like to read fiction…..and also the piece about the need to define a home. I feel quite homeless after all these moves!

Amazing piece. Really loved the way a single theme holds together several tangents of thought! Welcome back and hope you stay here long. :)
