When it rained

                                             Those feelings that happen in between extremely sleepy,numb,happy,sad,content,confused,lost ,nervous,excited.Those feelings which have no name,but intrigue most.
That feeling when we ate tender coconut ice-cream out of tubs at your house when it rained,
the feeling when we drove by the lake late at night and goosebumps revealed themselves on my skin and you put your hand on my knee,almost smiling.
The other time when what I knew was not quite love,but looked like it and it scared me out of sleep.
That sentiment when an old house help comes back on every festive occasion with my favourite tamarind rice.
the forgiveness when friendships that should have died surprise me at the door,"Let's go for a walk",they say.
That freedom when you choose despite the odds,when you win even when you lose.
The warmth of watching someone you love with all your life break into a smile,genuinely..like watching someone open a present you know they'll love.
Almost as many feelings as faces in the world.Maybe even more,who knows,some you'll never know but will always want to.

These feelings that don't have names but deserve such acknowledgement.They make a home for your heart.
