Away

This is the first time I will be away from you for so long. 11 whole days. It already seems like a lifetime. All those visions I had of room service, spas, long baths and reading undisturbed dont hold any appeal now, sitting so many miles away.

For the first time, an interesting man sat next to me on the flight. A musician, a DJ and a writer – he was a great conversationalist. I did not even realise where the hours flew by even though the entertainment system on the flight was not working. Perfect timing.

We spoke about Western classical music, evolution of music in the recent decades, Indian classical music, bringing up children in the UK, the financial crisis, HMV and so many other topics.

I just got a call from the school to say that your eyes are red and you may have conjunctivitis. Why do these things happen only when I am away ? Miss you, baby.
