Fall break

With Diwali behind us (maybe filling our derriere), I am smack in the middle of fall break of a week. I guess Diwali holds more allure for me in preparation. cleaning the house, fixing the lights, making specials, hearing fireworks, distributing goodies...This year were many dampners. Due to extremely dry air, no diyas outside. Halloween candy stampede and dry wind made sure my rangoli looked wore zombie than diwali. The yellows and greens combined to make lime and blue sang "ami je tomar" (ref: Bhoolbhulaiya movie). But OK. The break was good. Though not much changed except getting up 2.5 hours later than godforsaken hour I get up (blame it on baba ramdev...I mean yoga and later cook and clean before I go marathonning..I mean school). Pilla and I go for two walks. He suffers endlessly with writing exercises and like. And I fell in love with another author, who needs a seperate post. I read as much as I can and soak. My color book stares at me expectantly and my eyes wander on it as well..saying soon. Once school starts, with no lux to read and get lost (not that often, due to conditions applied, I am not able to finish book in one setting), my coloring will be my only ally. Meanwhile I enjoy...with 4 more days to go. My sleep recovered. I am in neural mood. The black has turned grey...But I cherish every single moment. The grey will never turn white but within no time it changes to black hole that sucks me right in. This vacay is lovely respite...a lovely in between..
