Wandering Dervish: I miss you mommy...

Today is the first day that I cried since I have arrived in Sydney. It wasn't that I was sad and stuff. I was just downloading some music and stuff and ended up listening to a song from an Indian movie called 'Taare Zameen Par'. The movie is about a child and how because he is 'different' from the other children he is put in a boarding by his parents. I had heard great reviews about the movie but didn't see it before leaving India because I knew I'd cry bucket loads of tears if I went to the theater to watch it as I'd be able to relate to it at so many levels.
I was put in a boarding school when I was 5 and stayed there for about the next 11 years. It was an experience that I rather not remember because it brings back some really dark memories. I was listening to the song and it gave me goosebumps and tears started to roll down my eyes. I started to feel choked but I didn't turn it off because I wanted to feel the emotion. I feel I am emotionally very sterile so at moments like these I want to live the experience. It makes me feel alive. I would want to translate the lyrics of the song for the non-hindi speaking readers but it would be a bit traumatic for me listening to it again. So I am just going to post the video and maybe translate it sometime later.
P.S. It's strange how a mother's heart knows even when she is far far away. Within five minutes of my so called 'breakdown' Mum called!!! I feel better now!!
