What lies beneath

It was a while ago that Lemontree tagged me... And the only reason i never responded was that i didn't know what that meant. Well now I do (and thanks for that, Lemon)
So here goes...
i am thinking about...
buying a few large photo-albums and filling them with the scores of loose photos I have... from different times and places, with different people.

i said…
to someone the other day that the surest way to fill your home with happiness was to adopt a puppy. I meant it.

i want to...
travel across the world with a close companion, a camera, some cash and comfy shoes.

i wish...
for the courage to follow my heart


i hear...
scary sounds at night if I spook myself out by watching a horror movie.

i wonder…
where ants march to all day long. Do they sleep? Do they feel? Fall in love? Worry about family?

Ants – fascinate me.
i regret...
not learning music.

i am...
deliberately goofy. It keeps my friends smiling, and me from taking me too seriously.


i dance...
when I’m happy. Only when I’m happy.


i sing...
all the time. Songs I learnt many many years ago. In different languages. In a medium pitch. When I’m thinking, bored, scared, sad or happy. Better than many.

i cry...
sometimes without reason. More easily than most people would believe.

i am not always...
tactful

i make with my hands...
a rangoli outside the front door, every year on Diwali. It takes me an hour, never comes out perfect, and clearly shows the amateur effort that goes into it.

i write...
because I know the memory dulls after a while and pictures get hazy

i confuse...
between the left and the right. Everytime except when I’m driving. I call it Direction Dyslexia and I know it’s a common problem.


i need…

an anchor
