ये दाग़ दाग़ उजाला ये शब-गज़ीदा सहर
वो इंतिज़ार था जिस का ये वो सहर तो नहीं
- फ़ैज़ अहमद फ़ैज़
This evening was straight out of a dream - the ones that do come true and fill you with gratitude and indescribable serenity.
The magic of Faiz Sahab’s words and a full house of hearts the beat in the same poetic rhythm. Pictures don’t do justice whatsoever.
Thankyou for your love, support and presence. Thankyou for making artists believe that their art matters. Thankyou for walking into that room and celebrating the history of genius literature. Thankyou for being you.
A special shout-out to my constant @ektasee the singlehanded power behind @ektas_gatherings
May art take us through 😇

December. A desperate celebration of an end.
— Chandrama Deshmukh, A Teaspoon of Stars
This quote sort of sums of December for me…the end of a year, the end of a word (which has been a very good word for me!), the end of my being 62, the end of my Year of Gnomes (yes… I am doing a +1 in January… there is no way you can quit gnoming cold turkey! haha)
And with all those ending things, it is so…

12/1/22 - waxing gibbous
December now.
Time is not real. I feel like I am in a stasis. Stasis! What a strange word. No progress or change, just a repetition of inaction. I am suffering from a bad bout of writer's bloc, whereas I can normally spew anything onto a page and fix the summoned pandemonium-- I find myself unable to today
Alas I am writing here! Perhaps trying to throw it off, chasing the dog. Writing this to work out a kink. (Kink is an interesting word to me, a double-entente despite being a Germanic word; something horrible to work out (see ironing beige khakis), something horrible to work at (see Latin-spawned dominatrix) how odd always).
I've recently come to revel the monosyllables of our Germanic tongue, to be simple stated. Simply understood...
I want to break my stasis, yet it is time that has been both my enemy and hero, assailant and assistant.
They say all thing end, then begin anew.
December.
A desperate celebration of an end.
--Chandrama Deshmukh
