I am lying on my bed. The whole of my body tucked under the quilt. I am still feeling cold. I feel my head splitting into bits. I have a damp piece of cloth on my forehead. I am still perspiring. I can feel the sweat all over my body. What would one think of in these circumstances?
I remembered my Amma. She would always be around, checking the temperature with her bare hands. She would put the damp piece of cloth on my forehead. To raise me up to give me that warm drink and food, the tablets. Speaking to me whenever I was awake, more to give me company than to speak with me.
Did you have someone else in mind? Did you imagine your father or was it your better half or your beloved? What if I don’t have any of them close by? Whom should I think of? What should I think of? Should I think of ….

picture these two...
its pouring cats and dogs and you sit on the windowsill in your house looking at all biig pearly drops falling down cooling the warm earth...you get the earthy smell you've always loved..then comes another smell..from the steaming cup of hot black coffee amma's made for her sweet spoilt son...think of the feeling of contentment you get while you revel in all that pampering,love and amazement of nature
then think of that picture we drew of a boy and a girl on the steps leading down somewhere..your hands playing with her hair,her sweet giggles which makes you content,whispering sweet nothings into each others ears and...that pic of the 'two feet' which symblised everything we've ever wanted
now tell me...who do want you think of?
