As the steel bird gently lowers me down .....theres a lurch, a catch, a tightening.....'foreign land' takes on a whole new dimension....hits u , screams at u...hush it up.
cocoon...ur family...cuddles u..warms u..smothers u with demands....the world out there remains..a landscape...a sketchy one from my windows...tall cold structures, whizzing droaning cars...stray human figures...open stretches...
miss my home town...yeah i do..the huge looming trees abound....the chirping of seven sisters...twittering of the hustling squirrels...thunderous bark of our german shepherd...the clang of the gate...the cry of the postman...the blaring honking cars/busses(ye i do miss them!!), the incessant phone ring...the feel of grass on ur feet, the gentle caressing cool evening breeze...(not bone chilling or flaming hot), ye the list is going to be endless as the days roll by...(sigh!)
but yes, my home is here, my world....what i make of it...well, set to find out along with my dear ones...whats out there in this land of sand and malls...heat and wealth...dates and kaboos...handsome men and cloistered ravishing women....black gold and mini keralas...mansions and bahkhalas...a/cs and heaters...mcdonalds and ikeas...robes and burkhas...seclusion and adhoora...family and friends....and ....make the most of it...find out more of this place which weve chosen to call home...for now...no major complaints...just few cribbings!! ;)
