    It's been raining from two days. This might be the last time I see this vibrant green this year. Taking it all in.

    Made the time to watch "The Nice Guys" and "PINK". One a good light fun watch, and the other thought-provoking.

    Navratri - made an impromptu visit to a friend's house.

    Was filling up gas anticipating all the visits I had to make in the next week and realised I was in silk saree and all dressed up... :)

    KV and I are almost finishing a year together. And I cannot help wondering how valuable this year has been.

    I am lavish with gratitude for people who influence me and KV is someone who has rewired me like no one has done before. When KV and I met, I wasn't keen on relationships, much less a steady one. Perhaps a date here and there but to enter a relationship was very daunting. I told him, "I am not really into these relationships. I can't last with you for more than a week". He simply smiled, "Try me".

    And the one year I tried him, he softened my jangly nerves, hardened my zeal, sharpened my curiosity, and never gave up on me. I remember that one time I was crouched on him like a mouse while he was trying to explain to me "General Theory of Relativity".

    He draws the space time grid on a paper

    "This Chimpo is ..."
    "But I don't know Riemannian geometry"
    "You need mathematical concepts"
    "Let's start with Calculus then..., you know Calculus?"

    I look at him like Tarzan would have awed and be perplexed on seeing a whirring Starbucks coffee machine.

    "Did you even go to school?", he pokes.

    I have never seen a man so passionate and patient with this scallywag, identify my flaws, and work together to fix them. KV is only 3 years elder to me and I wonder what kind of upbringing and influence he had had that made him a polished tool to shape this rough-edged flint.

    I interrupt, "How would you remember me if we didn't make it to the second year"
    He exclaims, "That woman who eats like an elephant"
    I continue, "That's good enough for me. I will remember you as that man who inspite of me eating like an elephant used to whisk me like a feather and carry upstairs through flight of stairs"

    (we chuckle)

    Positive thought: The best going-on this year is undoubtedly KV. Let's see what the future holds. Even if we don't further our relationship, this year is itched as the turning point in my life in terms of discovery and self-expression.

    I started to dig up a bulb and it turned into 3 hour chore pulling out an invasive ground cover. The roots were so deep! But now it's gone : ) (though it will likely keep popping up for a while)
