Text of the page (random words):
ard of thus far maybe it s that i know the world is shite and i just can t deal with more tragedy and pain and angst in the fiction i read for pleasure however well written they may be maybe it s just a phase i was certain i d posted about this before but can t seem to find any mention on the blog i might have deleted the post i do that quite often i find myself re reading a lot labels some life 3 added their bits 11 8 14 the city of my dreams whenever i visit bombay now i m a fragile vessel of conflicting and equally demanding emotions appreciation of the architechtural quirks and delights that dot the old city a new found on third look see past the grime type i always liked and admired them but i didn t really understand how wonderful they were till i spent sufficient time with the oh this pub has been running since 1793 brits wistfulness due to the growing realisation that this appreciation has come too late a reminder brought forcefully home as i decide to go and properly observe a vaguely remembered colonial era building only to be confronted by a concrete block of unimaginative dullness desperation borne of knowing that even if i were to win the biggest euromillions jackpot possible i would be able to buy and restore just about a dozen of the few villas still remaining thanks to the city s insane land prices a mere dozen claustrophobia the city was always narrow and the existence of some parts felt like you had walked into a tardis and now it s going vertical in a way that would make ol jack scold his beans for being so slow to grow walking down some roads now it feels like they re all listing towards each other trying to crowd out any little sky and are waiting to come toppling down on you despair and disbelief at the sheer levels of filth and infrastructural decrepitude a decade ago a dozen years into the liberalisation era there was such belief such hope such ambition that the city was headed for so much better given its already established position in the country s mythos there was hope that the sale of the mill lands would create new open spaces and educational institutions and hospitals and cultural hubs and help de congest the place instead other cities have overtaken and sped past it with their shiny new airports and metros and wide roads and innovative schools and massive spaces for arts and bombay well bombay just crawls on with its poorly planned rushed through transport projects and a citizenry that just does not care anymore that has lost the will to fight that is so tired from having to try and claw back the merest and tiniest of necessities nostalgia when remembering that wada pavs used to cost a rupee shock and denial that the cheapest one i could find this time cost twelve rupees simple pleasure happiness when lazily dunking a bun maska into a cup of sweet chai at one of the few cafes still left in the middle of the morning while watching the crowds scurry scurry scurry along and then ordering another round because you don t have to scurry anywhere of course it has do you people ever stop drinking i sound like my grandmother now we used to get a dozen for the same price that just one costs today 5 added

because different friends had different addresses and preferred the look and feel of a particular one and then people started shifting to orkut and fb and twitter and whatsapp and viber and snapchat it slowly got lonelier and lonelier after all in this always connected world who needs those old im platforms when the smartphone apps are so much better well people who don t use smartphones for one i still use one of the old ones mostly for work till not so very long ago there used to be a regular flow of friends on it but slowly slowly the logged in list has been growing shorter and shorter till now it s only populated by those who know it s the best way to reach me for conversations when they can t talk of course i guess the reasoning is not without logic why bother to log in on multiple platforms when nearly everybody is on the two three big ones and for those who aren t well tough in a world where we have too many friends in too many places and too little time a few are bound to slip through the crack right and if they do and you don t really miss them then obviously they didn t matter to you that much yes whatever all i know is that i have to continually log on to bloody fb to keep tabs on my friends and let s not even get started about emails labels some life 7 added their bits 24 7 14 happiness index everywhere i turn there seems to be a new index to measure how happy you are none of them seem quite right though so after much thought this afternoon i came up with the chai toast book happiness index the index is mapped using the quality of three variables a cup of chai a butter cheese toast and the book being read bas one was so happy at having invented this of course as you may have surmised already i then realised the value of each factor itself depends upon several variables to wit the blend of tea being used and the proportion of leaf to dust the kind of milk available skimmed semi skimmed full fat extra creamy dairy free whether the milk was environmentally packed pouch or bottle or carton how confident i am that the milk has not been adulterated or contaminated whether the sugar is sulphur free is there was enough lemongrass and ginger and mint to hand is the bread is healthy grain is the flour is organic what sort of cheese is being used has it had a proper cold storage history what genre of book was it was it an easily holdable paperback or a big heavy slipping from finger hardback was it a comforting re read or a gripping new one or just something to do tp with was it bought new thus paying royalties to the author and indirectly encouraging them to write more or secondhand thus helping the recycling movement and some poor vendor what time of the day was this activity being undertaken in was the weather all monsoon y and wistful or was it spring y and sprightly or was it cold and snuggle inducing were all three being ingested sprawled on a couch or lounging in bed or out in a park what was the likelihood that somebody would call or ring the bell in the middle of this activity i stopped making the list about then so much complexity for something so seemingly simple not so happy now i can tell you

and was then discovered or if it was got injured and fluttering on the ground got pounced upon by this army i realise i don t know how long wasps live or how they die if fortunate to live their entire lifetime do they just stop breathing how do they breathe do they just stop and settle down somewhere waiting as their vitality drains away or do they submit to the hive mind surrendering their bodies for the little nutritional value one last task for the good of all i look around and i see butterflies and birds and little flies brought by the heat i see them everyday and when they flit off i dismiss them show s over see you again tomorrow but where do they go do you butterflies group together in a bush at night do flies have hives or nests are these the same ones i saw yesterday or are those all just so much fodder by now and if they are mulch did they topple over or did they just stop and fall mid air i keep thinking i ve read all of this somewhere before but i realise that i don t really know and am merely trying to convince myself and i realise that where once i would have rushed off to learn about such new things today i insist that if i just spent enough time reflecting all this information would be dredged up from whatever deep recess it had been stored in i try not to even think about the fact that i haven t even thought about these things or why the thought of my curiousity dying scares me more thoroughly than the prospect of my own death all the dead wasps i ve ever seen have been curled up like a newborn baby one position two diametrically opposite stages of

poured equal quantities of brandy and champagne into three large glasses the kitchen was stone flagged and at one end a positive battery of charcoal fires glowed and winked under the bubbling pots the walls were covered with a great variety of copper pots kettles platters coffee pots huge serving dishes and soup tureens they all glowed with a pinky red gleam in the fire light glinting and winking like tiger beetles the first course that demetrios mustapha set before us was a fine clear soup sequined with tiny golden bubbles of fat with finger nail size croutons floating like crisp little rafts on an amber sea demetrios mustapha filled our glasses with more of the pale musky wine and placed before us a platter of minute baby fish each one fried a golden brown slices of yellow green lemons in a large dish and a brimming sauce boat of some exotic sace unknown to me accompanied it demetrios mustapha removed our empty plates poured a red wine out for us dark as the heart of a dragon and then placed before us a dish in which lay snipe the heads twisted round so that their long beaks could skewer themselves and their empty eye sockets look at us accusingly they were plump and brown with cooking each having its own little square of toast they were surrounded by thin wafers of fried potatoes like drifts of autumn leaves pale greeny white candles of asparagus and small peas you do like

haunch and starting to cut thick pink slabs of it she placed three of these on a plate obviously under the impression that this was by anyone s standard a small portion and then proceeded to surround them with accoutrements there were piles of the lovely little golden mushrooms chanterelles with their delicate almost winy flavour tiny marrows stuffed with sour cream and capers potatoes baked in their skins neatly split and anointed with butter carrots red as a frosty winter sun and great tree trunks of white leeks poached in cream during the pause the countess smoked on a long thin cheroot and ate salted peanuts she called for the next course and demetrios mustapha produced two mercifully small omeletes crisp brown on the outside and liquid and succulent on the inside stuffed with tiny pink shrimps the meringues were large and white and brittle as coral and stuffed to overflowing with cream mustapha bring the boy his owl and bring me some coffee and some of those nice turkish

3 14 planting roots increasingly there are days when i daydream of planting fruit trees over the years i ve had the fortune of having access to private gardens and courtyards that have had a plethora of fruit trees there are the friends and family who ve lived on land where fruit trees existed some of which they planted themselves in england the houses i lived in and visited all had fruit trees even if just one lone apple tree not to mention fruit bushes everywhere one of my favourite memories is of discovering a love apple tree in lonavla and plonking myself in the branches one whole morning stuffing myself sick with dozens of a fruit which normally cost a pretty penny back in bombay i d like to think i love that memory because it s a mixture of the large village atmosphere of lonavla as it was back then the knowledge that this wonderfully warm summer morning held no threats of schoolwork and the fact that i was on holiday away from the city but i know it s mainly because i remember the delightfulness of crunching into dozens of sweet fruit which had not been touched up or fake ripened and were not bland i have a couple of fruit saplings now but they re in pots i tend to them enjoying the few fruits they ve already started giving and hope i will be able to take them along in the next move i could leave them behind to some little park here but the gardeners don t seem to be too fussed and keep talking about quotas which makes me angrier at the concept of planned gardens and perhaps even if they were enthused i mightn t leave them behind because i want to watch these trees grow i want to see them age year by year defying the winds and the rain and the sun and the horrible things in the air to keep getting a little wider a little more hard skinned i want them
