HUMPI





a strange glimpse from a past that had once been, and a present which is its astrologers could never have predicted.

a land of ruins with the tungabhadra flowing through its veins.

a beaker with purple bubbles at the brim, a lipstick stained paper cup that had long been drunk from.

a land of hippes, of astrologers, an astronomer's paradise, a dreamer's dream.

in the midst of all this a bunch of twenty somethings, all dewy eyed but with aspirations all different from each other.
Cycling through the valleys of hide and seek, through a past long stained by its oh so different present.

humpy humpy humpy,
where we all went jumpy :P

how do i describe you,
a bride? a portrait or simply an illusion that harps back to a time of decoral grndeur?

a sunrise without a sun,
a sunset among the enclosure,
a peacock calling from behind the bushes,
epyphanic sloth bears flowing a HUNNY trail.

a tt who refused to take bribe,
an "authentic thali" for Rs.15,
a ghost by the river,
a tree that promised wishes come true.

a brother whose shoulder was a pillow,
a sister whose smile meant the sun,
a friend who led the way,
a child whose energy killed us,
a doll who held us together (every bit of pun intended)


a trip to savour?
a trip to learn from?
a trip of adventure?
a trip of fun?
