The New Apartment : Drishtikon

Just yesterday we shifted here.Three rooms,a hall,a kitchen,two bathrooms and two girls.The largest room has a long box window and a small balcony.The yellow color walls and a wall rack.
We brought in our luggages and a huge matress to serve the purpose of bed for the time being.This is our home now.The guitar occupied the corner as soon as it entered.I need to make dreamcatchers for this place.The other two rooms are pretty.Its a cozy place.
There is a playground in front of the building  and a school nearby.I bought Jui flowers.It fills the room with a fragrance.Roses,red ones,I brought for myself.Candles are also needed.We have to buy pardas for the long window.A mask already adorns the wall.Tea,salt,sugar,bournvita and maggi packets are stuffed in the kitchen rack.The electric kettle will be quite handy at times.
Shampoo,conditioner,face wash and body foams will be needed.We'll have to go shopping very soon.Did I miss anything?
Its tough...I don't know how the elders manage it so well?Managing a house all by yourself is a hell lot of a task.
Its nice in here.I can spend my evenings sitting on the window...watching the time pass by as the title tracks of tv soaps mark the hours.Ashtray,yes we need a new one.Yes we can freely smoke here.New found freedom.But its lonely...no one runs behind me with food...and the alarm clock does mom's job.
Sometimes when the phone rings I just hope its a familiar voice...the company calls almost frequently to suggest me caller tunes.
The street lamps are glowing now...the yellow bulb almost lightens up our room.I enjoy sitting in the yellowish-dark here.Its raining after days.The wet smell of grass is good.
I guess that's how we grow up...we learn to build home away from home.
Melancholy? Nope,just a bit of nostalgia with a spoon full of farewell to my boyhood.
Rainy day,silent evening and me.
Wait!! Mom called up.She is ranting about new things she learnt today about her new toy,a smartphone.She bought it to be in touch with me.I know... I just know.She did a thorough enquiry about my meals throughout the day with the conclusion that I starved all day!!! Moms!!!
She hung up.Songs can be such good company.Its so soothing just.
This lonely evening actually helps me to think...think about old people...how depressing it must be to think that their days on this earth are counted and those days too are passing away such idly.
I don't know when she'll return.I hope she brings dinner...no one will be in the mood to cook tonight.
The structure of the dreamcatcher is complete..I just need the feathers and a few more beads...and a finishing touch.Right now my fate is uncertain just...well everyones is...Que sera sera just aptly describes it.
Faraway I can hear the whistling of the train as it arrives at the platform.We need a large wall clock and a book shelf too.
The old lady living in the ground floor is too good...I had a talk with her today morning.Matchsticks are finishing up fast.The blue night lamp is pure love.I will sit with books after a few more days not just now.I gotta settle down fast.
Maybe this is the gloomiest passage I have written till date.I just need to clear the mess all around.Till then ♥
