Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!

A few months ago, I was sitting on one of the small stools in the kitchen, the ones that make you feel like a little child again, waiting for the water to boil. I was making tea for my dad and thought how cool a feeling that was, to be home again, doing home-things in a warm kitchen where everything was as familiar as it was leisurely. But later, in a different city, in a place just called home, a place that I have to remember by numbers - fourth right turn, third house on the left - a place I have to recognize by signboards and which I sometimes pass over in the dark because I miss the gate, a place where almost-strangers let you in when you ring the bell; I waited the same wait, standing and waiting for the water in a newer pateeli . It wasn't warm at all; it was just a cheerless, empty, disconsolate feeling. It made me feel low to even think of another place as home. Eating in alien plates, drinking in alien glasses. I never learnt to memorize the house number or the telephone n

Wrong visual image! :P
You need the dark broody cliffs and the monstrous waves underneath to make this effective!
Pps: Where are you? Home?
PS: Yup, home. What're they making at your gate? The whole ground's broken up.
PPS: Where we went, there were no cliffs :(
They're making a swimming pool in my driveway! ;) hehhe nai they're making a water tank and its a pain in the neck cause our cars need to be parked at someone else's house and so on!
