Cinnamon Twist!


Am back to my blog after an eon,I think. But I need to write..so much has been happening/has happened in my life since my last post. Perhaps need a seperate post to write what a feeling it is to see two toothless smiles on human beings that were part of your body for 9(well, seven in my case!) months..

I feel flustered,thankful,happy,concerned,proud,scared,superstitious,unsure...all at the same time. So whenever anyone asks me the much irritable but cliched question.."How does it feel to be a mother?"...I honestly wish I could make him or her understand..what the true feeling is.

But hey..this one's not about me and my toothless angels!

Its about a "Cinnamon" twist in my life! :) And the worst is..I dont know what and how to write about it...without being very verbose. You see..we have planned a secret one year non-disclosure deal..of catching up on things about ourselves that we have missed out for..(hold your breath!)..15 years!!:)

Whenever Cinnamon gets sprinkled on my life..I feel a flush..and often a blush! Its the most uncanny thing..that we have so much in common(that we are discovering with every second of our exchanges)..and yet..when we had a chance(or the lack of it!!)...we never ever spoke to each other. Well..a non-assuming, extremely harmless passing smile,maybe at the best.Oh,but wait...thats just my version of it. I am given to understand..his passing smiles were not very harmless..focussed on a secret intention! Loll!! And now..we realise,there are common colours we like, common food and ingredients,some truly spooky common habits,speak the same things at the same time. Wonder of wonders,I tell you! Cinnamon,true to his nature...is oh-so-sweet..and oh-damn-its-spicy...all at the same time. In crazy amounts and of crazy helpings...! He has stories about me from 15 years ago..written in his memory...that even fails my grey cells.

Cinnamon has medicinal value, they say! :) Yes,it does..I can see that.Used when you need that warm,fuzzy,soft and gooey feeling inside you. Sprinkled on hot chocolate, sipped under a blanket..on a winter's moonless night..watching a classic favourite.."Notting Hill",anyone? :)I love this bit. Sprinkle Cinnamon all over me..and I am ever so happy. Nowadays I wake up to Cinnamon..sleep(well, the little that I do!)..smiling..thinking of the aftertaste Cinnamon left behind..

Pretty visuals,charming conversations,intriguing findings,intense discussions..a heart behind all that..that is soft as a marshmellow...and a soul that is kindred...

Thats Cinnamon for me.
