Today...
...the wind holds the promise of summer.
...I can once again see the play of light and shadow on a hot afternoon.
...I can almost taste the word 'balmy'. It is perfect.
...the mango tree in the backyard is once again laden with raw, beautiful green mangoes.
...the mind goes back to my childhood, to warm evenings spent on the lawn doing homework, to summer vacations and long swims, and an integral part of my childhood memories...my grandmother
...I see anticipation on kids' faces around me of an impending, long summer vacation.
...I seem to have fallen in love with summer. After all, I was born in the hot month of May, got married in May,too. Summer seems to set my milestones in life, no, my life began on a summer in May.. all those years back.
...I want to sit with a book and dig into slices of raw mangoes, sprinkled with salt. Oh, my tongue can almost taste it!
...I daydream...suspended somewhere between the past and future and yet, not being in the present.
...I want to sit by the sea, taste the salty air on my lips and feel the wind play with my hair.
...I watch the leaves lose their green..gently,slowly...disrobing with time.
...I want a vacation,just like in school.
It seems fitting that on such a day, I should go back to my past, relive it for a moment in a conversation with a friend whom I have not seen for the past 13 years, but we finally talked and it was such a pleasure to hear her voice again!
Oh, summer, you are making my heart sing again! You hold the promise of magic this year.
