This night is special..One accusatory glare"you don't write anything anymore..."...a few pillows thrown randomly ...to create space..and as all men do...he leaves me alone to give birth to this child of the night!Shashthi today...when Durga-Ma opens her eyes to see her children.. this one shyly opens her eyes to gape open-mouthed at Ma's beauty...
So what is ardharaatri about?It is about the pain of birth,the pain of knowing exactly what you want and the endless waiting after you cast a die to see how it will land.Its about Deeksha..and the bless-you ...of a voice and its slow travel thru the arteries of the heart..about the power of music as my daughter discovers it and about how I haunt life:).Its a mother calling to a mother...of standing adamantly outside a temple and realising that the mother inside would give...if what I ask is good for me and somewhere..its about expectations falling short..coz I do not yet see the purpose.
I don't need you with me on this journey..and this may just end after the first post...!And then you're damned my friend!
