A few months ago I was going through a very low phase. There was a dargah where as a child I used to go as a mere accompaniment. This time, with great subtlety, Ammi asked if I would like to go along with her, to refresh those memories.
This dargah is in the middle of some crowded street in central Mumbai. I lit the agarbattis and sat on the chess-board tiled floor and shut my eyes. It must have been long, for she tapped me on the shoulder.
“Praying?” she asked, a look of surprise on her face.
“No.”
“Crying?”
I blinked and picked up a rose lying nearby. I touched it to my lashes and felt like I had just embellished a wilting flower with a dew drop.

rahe saamne par dikhaai na de"

Koi humdard nahin dard mera saaya hai"

aaja pyaare saath hamare, kaahe ghabraaye, kaahe ghabraaye..."

[[Re. goddess, if you are humouring me, then sar aankhon par]]
Absolutely not...
That was my true expression...I used,"goddess" as hypothetical analogy...
I apologize,if,U got upset for my pure expressions of admiration...
Circle:
No, no, I was not upset...I suppose I need to be more gracious about compliments. Have just got used to too much criticism:-)
