Kashmir

The angrez were interesting; some had long hair and some shaved their heads.
They rode big motorbikes and at times were half-naked.
I had asked a neighbour who worked in a hotel, "Why do the angrez travel and we do not?"
"Because they are angrez and we are not."
But I worked it out. They had to travel to see Kashmir; we lived there and did not need to travel. We waved at them; they waved back.
Kashmir 1986.

Life in Limbo

I had a dream. The same dream I had the other night. I was banging on a door with all my might. It was a large ornate wooden door. It wouldn't budge. Someone whispered in my ear that I had reached the point of no return. I've been thinking a lot about God these days. Really? For what joy? Just like that. ... Do you think you will meet God if you travel to the end of the world? You really need another drink. I am you five years back. Hmmm. So if I am you five years back, who are you? I am you!! There are two kinds of people in this city. I hope you never meet the other kind. This city. We do not belong here. We need to go away. Where to? Does it matter? No.
