Turning 40 this year has been a big adjustment for me. For those of you that know me from my Avadi Days, you know it is not vanity or a factor of aging.
For me it has been about a year of reflection.
Of places I have been, things I have done and where I need to go. Of nostalgia from a wonderful, memorable childhood, thru adolescence and meeting my beloved husband to adulthood and the responsibilities. Of more morbid things like mortality. Suddenly I realize there will soon come a day when I will be an urn of ashes being immersed in some water body in some part of the world...but before that -
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
What better way can there be than remembering the most happiest childhood any kid could ask for? In a idyllic, dreamlike, slow moving, friends filled place called Avadi.Hmmm just saying that name strikes a feeling of intense nostalgia. Stirs a kind of longing "andha naalum vandhidaadho".
This idea came to me quiet suddenly while I was getting ready to sleep last night. Part of me was "Why now"?(I was going to call it "Avadi Days" in memory of one of my favorite author's iconic work "Malgudi Days", but decided I was too small in comparison and that would actually be quiet insulting to R.K.Narayan), but part of me was "Why not?". So here you go.
In this blogpost I am going to try and capture those wonderful moments, times that still fill me with inner joy and peace. Stay tuned.
