Dengyal

I know I have been out of the loop for some time now. Yesterday when I finally finished setting up my wardrobe after the long journey, I was planning to write down whatever random thoughts were coming my way but as soon as I tucked myself in bed, I felt the tiredness seep in and pretty soon I was ready for my one on one with slumberland. So here I am today, finally. In the next couple of days, I will be filling the void left behind by my lack of enthusiasm to write while travelling. 

My first post, since returning back, is one that I would like to dedicate to Dengyal.

When we started from home, quite a few dear ones were happy for us. Now we had the time to really know each other, they said. I was happy too but my happiness had a hint of nerves as well. I didn't know what to expect. Would we really have a happy ending? Or would we end up realizing that we were poles apart? It was a tricky situation. Ofcourse chances of the latter were minimal but it couldn't be ruled out either. So we embarked on our first solo trip as a couple. From the moment we entered through the airport gates till the time I hugged him goodbye at the train station, we were by each other's side 24/7. Well, almost. And what was the verdict in the end? The answer to this lies in a question Barbs asked me over whatsapp just a few weeks back.

"How does it feel? To be together all the time?"

Let me just say that I could do with a few more hours instead of the usual twenty-four.

These lines sum up my feelings perfectly. I had the most amazing month in the longest time and as much as I would have loved to keep the party going, I also needed to focus on what is important. Actually we needed to use our heads and be the practical, responsible children that we are to our parents. So I am back in the hills now while he battles it out in the heat. We'll see each other soon enough but these initial days apart after weeks of togetherness isn't a welcome change. I haven't been this happy and confident in such a long time. Its the wind in my hair and sand on my feet feeling. He makes me smile whenever I think of him. Dengyal.

Our (or is it my?) love for the karaoke seems pretty evident in this one!
