thanksgiving

i'm thankful i have only three minutes left to write this. i'm thankful for hindi filmstar posters singing to me. for rickshaw drivers who avoid running me over. for rose & jasmine garlands. for my refusal to litter the street. for my family clinging to me even when i yearn to be free. for mendhi on my hands & for pedicures. for veg pulao. for bottled water. for any water at all. for the family resemblance. for wedding parties. for rooftops. for chai. for unconditional love.
i must go but know that i am thankful for all of you too. i miss y'all. happy thanksgiving.
love,
me.

i'm thankful for blogging. so i can close my eyes and see where you are and what you're doing and be just a teensy bit jealous but also happy that you're off adventuring. enjoy the wedding! i want to know where you went for new years last year because i want to go there. e-mail me!
