A sunlit day, how do I capture thee

Life, i think, the sum total of it is a summation of these seemingly ordinary and beautiful moments. Their beauty is so ordinary that there is no way of capturing them for eternity. But let me still try and attempt the impossible here..

The sunlight is streaming in through all the windows here at sabari ashiana..and you know how much sunlight that can be. Jasmeh in his namazi position is playing with his myriad toys in the spiderman room, aayat is asleep in her room and air supply’s lost in love is strumming on in the background. These are the physicals. The emotionals are the tough ones…I feel relaxed, at ease. And a little quiet inside. Something I now realize I haven’t heard inside of me in a long time. And I think it is this quietness and stillness that is responsible for the glow in the house and blanket of calm that envelops all. And that is the quintessential ingredient to the ‘ordinary beautiful-ness’ of it. All out of love…but still here and fighting.

I want you come back and carry me home, away from these long lonely nights…there is no easy way, it gets harder each day. Please love me or I’ll be gone.

Melodramatic, tragic and final. That’s how we would like sometimes our lives to be, but alas. It turns out to be monochrome-ed, continuous and unrelenting. And yet, like we heard last night, that’s where the challenge lies, in turning something dreary and ordinarily boring into a work of art …or maybe, at a simpler level…just to make it interesting enough for a single read, a single glance back. No applause, no standing ovations, no exclamation marks…sometimes, even a moment of sincere attention is enough. More than enough.
