Random Thoughts

What would thoughts read like if you could transcribe them verbatim as they occured?

Here are my thoughts from 5 pm today for about 30 minutes

Anu turned 21 today. Wonder how her day went. Wonder if they saw my message or wrote me off as forgetful as usual. I actually have thought about her a number of times today. Always I go back to that summer in Kota where the lady downstairs was commissioned to stitch baby clothes for Anu. Nadu's wish were the Jaipuri baby razaiis. everybody seemed to be having babies that year...and I doubted if I ever would have that pleasure. I think I landed in B'lore the day Anu was discharged. I remember letting her lick some honey. I do not really know if Anu has a sweet tongue. She does not talk much when I'm around. Only observes me probably wondering how her mom could be friends with me..If she doesn't it must be because I fed her honey. If she has, it must be the honey.

Gosh it is really hot today. Look at me...barely 26 degrees and I'm wilting like a pansy. Shame on you Indian! Wonder why pansies have such a connotation? They are pretty hardy flowers really...Its surprising how I've taken to wearing dresses on hot days. Stopped wearing them when my dad caught me snapping while decorating the front yard with rangoli. I thought I looked Mary Pintoish in that first dress. Heeheee Arijit's comment was so funny. Is that your new nightie? Its very smart...

Should I pick up a peonie for the garden? The flowering season's almost over. Oh there's one with a bloom still on...my garden is going the way my life is..with no certain plan, a scatter here and there. Its not really lack of time it is lack of creativity I think. The geraniums are doing well, the begonias are dying, the tomato plant is confused in the upside down container, still wants to grow the right way..Amazing how names have form now, Cyclamen, Forsythias, geraniums,lavender, tulips..

Arijit has watered the garden and is glowering at me now because I am watering it again...The garden looks like how one would look post operation when you ask for water and they wet your lips with ice! Leaving you wnating for more...I better get this down before my mind travels somewhere else
