Alternate Space: Four Wires

Four wires, almost parallel vertically, pass over the eastern wall. Walls are whitewashed with a tint of indigo in it. Actually, it's more indigo than white.

There is no roof but open blue evening sky. There are three bedrooms preceded by a veranda and a kitchen. These rooms occupy almost one-third of the enclosure.

There are three rooms littered across the remaining space. They were intended to be washrooms but one of them is being used as a store room.

Indigo walls present a sense of calmness together with infinite space.

Same is not the case with outer walls or walls of other rooms. They have been painted golden yellow. The doors are navy blue. (Is it a metal paint?)

Walls of other rooms are green. I am not sure it's by design or just random choice.

It's past sunset now. (It is or it was?; does it matter. Especially when things have remained the same for decades. Year after year you have seen the same thing.) I am standing outside the enclosure. Outside the eastern wall. Just below where the four parallel wires cross it.

There is thin smoke. It is properly from the chulha on the other side of the wall. The smoke is illuminated by the fire from the chulha and the little extra glow is added by fluorescent bulbs on the other side of the wall.

The smoke is definitely non-dangerous (because I say so). How can they be! They are part of the ambience. They are more part of the space than us.

I should leave this piece here. Around 600mls of liquor have gone down my throat. And I am not sure if my thoughts are liquor induced.
