Has it been 39 years when we last met…? I don’t think so…. clearly not letting go of each other now…. Had been searching all over for the last ten years to find you! ❤️ When 16 years of age ..high school days… Guitar playing days Abba Carpenter song-ing and figuring out the guitar cords we could match our voices to… Early morning sunrise walks through the gigantic boulder studded landscape of Secunderabad Being aghast and running from creepy flashing men… Discussing our pining for our individual best friends who were no longer in Sec’bad since their Dads had been posted out.. (Funnily, that best friend is not the one I sought out later) The apprehension and excitement of discovering and making our individual fashion statements at 16 years… Dance evenings at the Secunderabad Club days… The live band at the Sec’bad Club, that we would strain to listen to, from my 5 Bolton Road Bungalow, on nights when we teenagers were not allowed to the Grownups dance evenings.. Food fads, chocolate powder heaped on cold milk and how to drink in without the powder getting into our nostrils Everyday, just discovering the Universe together ….
CANNES….. Mumbai airport!!

ये देख रही हूं …. While I await breakfast…. कुछ न करना।।। बस ।।। कितना आनंदित कर देता है
. . यादों का एक पुराना “शहर” होता है “एल्बम”, जहां कहानियां हमेशा ताज़ा होती हैं ! आज उसी “शहर” में, घूमने निकली हूं मैं । उन “यादों” की दीवार आज भी वैसी ही है इस शहर में, जैसे मैंने सजायी थी, कुछ सालों पहले ! और मेरा हर “वक़्त” में ठहर जाना…. वो अब भी आज़ाद हैं वहां , जैसे मानो कल की ही बात हो ! इस शहर की सारी गलियों में, सारे चेहरों में , मैं मुस्कुराती हुई दिख रही हूं , जैसे मानो, सबने मुझे ज़िंदा कर दिया हो ! – सिद्धार्थ . . It was my pleasure to capture you in my Frame @mitavasisht Mam 😊 Thank you so much for giving me your valuable time and keep supporting me throughout the Shoot. I wrote a few lines for this and tried to recite them as well, I hope you’ll like it. . . #poem
