Under the Australian Sky

I met a doc- an Indian- Australian, in 'Canby'.Her husband, a researcher at my uni, works with AI,which is well beyond the boundaries that my commerce brain can take me.
This association, to say the least,has brought me
-close to the life, i have been curious about...
-brought me to understand 'bogons' ( somebody who is dressed pathetically, only good enough to drink n make merry) and 'cozzie' ( a swimming costume!!)
- appreciate the dark forests n scary bushes
- be conscious abt the running tap n the bushfires
- and most importantly, to be INDEPENDENT
Yesterday, I learnt how to fill up petrol into a car and wash it - something I would have never learnt in Bangalore.
I was also introduced to the concept of barbeque.. we went to the river side, paddled in the water, cooked food in the dark, ate without having the slightest clue about the bread, salad, tofu n cooked vegetables.... under the moonlight(while incessantly spraying the mosquito repellent.) The drive back home was absolutely refreshing but got me very very nostalgic. I quietly prayed and struck a deal with the moon. I promised him a rendevous with the one i love under the same sky.
I like the light that the first dawn is bringing in. I hope the warmth, does not turn into heat, though.
