Mahima
Sanskrit for “glory”; in my life, the calm astonishment, clear mind with kind mischief, who can turn a countertop into a small seminar on how hope gets cultured. Before stealing the last spoon of tiramisu, she makes delicious chai, fried rice, tofu, and every nanosecond memorable. In green she’s composed thunder, in orange she’s first light, and in every other color she’s the reason the color exists. Mahima's a rumored keeper of a gentle pet elephant, a capybara that slays, an angy octopus, and whatever other creature decides it belongs to her. She is very much in love with one David, whom she keeps upgrading from fine to fluent, on purpose and with care.
The elephant never forgot, the capybara posed, the octopus finally unclenched; I fell again—Mahima.
Sunrise tries its best, but Mahima still gets the credit.
Jealousy is just strangers realizing I get to say ‘my Mahima.’
