#busy life
Haven’t been on tumblr much, final year at university and planning staff training a great resource for staff training and other camp related things is Camp Hacker on podcast and youtube and their website:
The home that we used
to visit every year is empty now.
The giggles and laughter
of hide-and-seek, gone.
The walls, damp.
Wooden doors, half eaten
by white ants.
Air, musty and stale.
With our grandparents
buried beneath a marble coffin,
cold and pale.
The courtyard doesn’t
smell of taya’s bidisanymore.
Father doesn’t play cards,
and kitchen has lost its aroma.
Chacha’s magical room stays
locked with rumours of
djinns lurking over.
The secret stairway
remains dark and shut.
We don’t go up on terrace
to play cricket anymore.
Nor do we fly kites
with our brothers and sisters.
Got so caught up in our own lives,
nobody remembers our home anymore.

Just wanted to let every one know I am still doing the art requests! I’ve actually been working on them, but of course my life goes crazy. Things should be winding down soon though and I’ll start posting them. (I didn’t feel right giving more time to one piece and not another) Just didn’t want you guys thinking I’d forgotten you! Just been super busy!
