go Salim go

“From now on, Kavita is your sister,” she said, and clasped their
hands together, “If we can’t live in harmony in this building, what
hope is there for the nation?”
“Sister,” Salim said, with an expression so angelic that Kavita knew
at once he was mocking her. She was going to pull her hand away
but stopped --- there was some, chemical reaction that had started
between them. Electrons were blown off their orbits, atoms
and molecules rearranged, heat was generated, and she was
afraid to interrupt. She stood there and felt the blood surge
in her fingertips. She looked into his eyes and saw a hint of green
mixed in slyly with the brown, she noted the whiteness of his teeth
and the fairness of his skin. She would not be his sister.

Mrs. Asrani’s benevolence evaporated quite rapidly. “What all you
keep doing to encourage this Salim character, I don’t know --- day
after day he buzzes around like a flying cockroach.”

“But he’s my brother. You said so yourself….you said we all
have to live in harmony.”

“Yes yes. Everyone in the building has seen your harmony.”

1. That feels so 100 Years of Solitude
2. I would love the Sea & Cake if the lead singer didn't sing exactly like an old crush I had back home who's now a heroine addict.
3. Santo & Johnny are good to plan on living in Hawaii to.

i think it's certain songs that get me. "showboat angel" is fun & not as nostalgic as "seemingly" or "the fawn" for me. it's his whispery accent getting intimate. i've been randomly downloading things...& i DO love them, i'm just preoccupied when i try to listen.
