Now before you start questioning the title, let me explain. ‘Kohinoor’ translates to mean ‘a mountain of light’ in Hindi and was once the largest diamond in the world. It originated in India until colonial masters seized it as a British crown jewel to present to Queen Victoria a.k.a ‘Empress of India’ in the late 17th century. Clearly, it has nothing to do with Konkana Sen Sharma or the Queen of our Arab mafia. But it has everything to do with the fact that you are such a gem of a child.
Lee I feel like a dead man walking, as I sit within the confinements of my apartment, albeit all it’s splendor, waiting for my damn EAD card. When I woke this morning it occurred to me that the possibility of my card arriving sometime next week is highly unlikely; it would be too Bollywood-ish and too just in the nick of time-ish! See! This is how it’s been these past two weeks in my head and heart, I keep thinking about what might happen and why this is all happening and plan for what I should do in case I lose the job, while cowering away from attempting tedious online job searches! Aaaah! Being a Nutcasimus Maximus is so much more stressful living alone.
So in your absence, my computer has become my new best friend. You know you both are similar in many ways. I wake up and the first thing I do is turn it on. And then it sings me Amr Diab’s ‘Allah’. And then it keeps me company and takes my mind off EAD stuff. And we watch garbage girl together…and so on…I am becoming so reliant on my computer I am so worried it’s going to stop working!
Last night was like every other night since I’ve moved to the city: shower, dinner, followed by watching old late night shows on the internet. It was all jim dandy until I decided to start messing with my nose ring and it suddenly just popped out! And I had to crawl around the floor, gently running my hand over the couch, blanket and carpet, trying to find the damn screw piece. And then when I had to put it back in my nose was bleeding and....it was all very saw three-esque. But I eventually managed to screw it back on, except I think I screwed it in too tight and now my left nostril feels like it has been clamped shut.
Well, hope your computer gets fixed real soon and I find a cheap functioning web cam. Miss you and love you.
XOXO,
