Where I’m From


I am from endless hours on the tennis court.

Scholastic and Time For Kids

From last minute

Jitters

As well as last minute

Giggles.

I am from the unknown neighborhood.

The single family home with blue lining the garage door.

From the pinecone tree.

I’m also from trial-and-error ice cream flavors.

As well as the Sci-Fi fans.

From Sachin and Mugdha.

And from seeing my mom once a week.

From “CLEAN YOUR ROOM!” to

“I won’t sign it unless it’s an A.” (kiddingly, I hope)

I’m from cool red kumkum on my forehead.

I’m from Mumbai, India.

As well as Chapati and crazy fruit/vegetable mix smoothies.

And from stories of hardship and courage

I’m from

Bravery,

Fun,

Last-minute procrastinators,     

Intelligence,

Love,

and kitchen disasters.

This is where I’m from.
