Dear K----lji
Heard that you told someone you had counseled me,
Am deeply touched with your kindness and consideration
And this is to specially thank you for all your kind help.
Here is wishing you a year exactly as good as mine
Enjoy!

What I do not want:
Love or even kindness and least of all 'help'
Not because am proud but simply because
I think all that would be a waste on me
------------
What I do want:
To die attended
and at peace
in the privacy of some place I can call home
that has flower pots in low wide window sills
red chrysanthemums and bright geranium
that has a table at which many people have sat
and eaten hearty meals and drunk and laughed together
that has rooms filled with the cadence of
(bihaag and kanara and kedar and bach and Tagore songs)
memories of musical soirees
held in memory of the dead departed loved ones
to die in a city where being single is not a sin
in a country where being single is the norm

yes just right. attended. some may be of insighful intuitive
glimpse into
interactions of this world & next,
and witness something quite extraordinary.
gotta admit, i wanna die well.
Genuine love and kindness can never be a waste in my humble opinion.
Jane Smithies do NOT need hair man-trap, the thing underneath the hair is sexy enough for ten men I think, so enjoy the freedom while it lasts and in any case it is so damned expensive - hair I mean, you save eighty dollars every month for not having hair on hair care and cuts and conditioning, but I have no idea if eighty dollars is imp to you, it wd buy three good books, woman! And yeah, trust you to guess that - am not saying what out here in the open :) Love and hugs. A very happy Rolling (cause of happiness is I got a place, got the book been dreaming off, better still the office bought it, so now I can get the other half which isn't that expensive and kind of complete the set, and my book is almost complete, I have no money still, but I have a plan and so well, am saying thank you God o and three more days bef I am honeward bound yippeeeeeeeeee - mommy here I come - you americans mustnt laugh, in India people continue to live with their parents even when they are fifty :) and mine cooks damn well - after half a year of bad canteen food, am looking forward to running water, shampoo, a genuine blunt cut, a good bed, warm room, spotlessly clean sheets, the comfort of my own table, my own cup, fragrant tea, real tea not the ginger masala concocted bullshit patient's broth they think is tea, here, and home cooked food, lotsa fish, shrimp, lobsters, wallow in mom's freshly washed sundried clothes - I love to lie on them when she gets them off the line and piles them on the little bed no one sleeps on - the sun smells of life and love and happiness :) )
