I was fascinated by the intent look on amma's face when she was preparing the tea..the face void of any expressions..she took the same time my mom takes to prepare tea...we asked for 3 cups of coffee and 2 cups of tea..aliens in her territory, she was enjoying the barriers of communication..and strangely even me. We were happlily conversing in sign language. With just one stove to heat the milk and the tea..she was trying hard not to dissatisfy her customers..wracking up and being very cautious about the next move she had to make..Amused by her very sincerity, i stood by her just to watch her every move. With the right amount of coffee and milk, though a little bit of extra sugar, she satiated our very need for something to unwrap our hibernating brains.
Sipping the hot tea, brought back those sweet nothings...and blazing behind her i could witness the "lust of the maiden infinity: the sunset"..it made me feel so pure..so i decided to capture the entire scene into a definite memory..
And when i showed amma the picture that i have taken..she broke down into a childlike laughter..giggling and nodding..pointing to the picture and describing in sign language,"I am there"
