I MISS!

okay...this comes up late.

it was written a long time back....i guess around the time when i had just left my home town for college.

i miss the baskin robbins every night.

i miss the endless rounds of lucknow after the ice-cream.

i miss going to school daily. Not stepping into the same school (mango) shoes.

i miss the rickshaw rides back home 'n the walking back at times too.

i miss the free time, my bed 'n the good food.

i miss the endless story telling on the phone.

i miss the way i used to hide from mamma all night just to talk to a few more friends.. i never knew then that i would miss her so much now.

i miss the love of dadi 'n sunita didi... even the abuses too.

i miss the fights ramya ambesh 'n i had over socks each morning, 'n also the little ones near the basin as to who gets to brush first.

i miss getting wet in the rain every chance i used to get.

i miss being pampered silly by Papa.

i miss the feeling of belonging.

i miss the laughs me 'n bhai shared.. our endless jokes 'n gossip sessions. i miss his mimickery. i miss him.

i miss counting 1-2-3 for ambesh just to get some work done.

i miss crying for ramya when she left me 'n then feeling so sad that i landed up giving her everything she wanted from me.

i miss Papa's lectures too...

i now know that value of everything he said.

i miss malti aunty each morning when i have to go to college 'n there is no one for a massage. : (

i miss the fat aunty who washes our utensils... 'n the amount of fun we used to make of her.

i miss pulling ambesh's leg at every opportunity.

i miss jai-shankar bhaiya's version of "wake me up when september ends".

i miss the bday cakes at night.

i miss nana's sad jokes 'n also his wonderful talks.

i miss ma-nana talks... when both can't hear each other any longer yet they insist on talking.

i miss my family.
