Little Survivor

Not the morning show please..I pleaded, a long discussion and finally i found myself alone on one side of the battle field. I had to agree, booked tickets and decided to sleep early that night. Not as that I have never been out for cheap morning shows but i hardly prefer them and there are n number of reasons behind that which i will explain some other day. 

My BFF!

One of our cherished memories when Neelu went mad and i prepared a sorry card. Its amazing how time flies. the variety of our conversation keep varying all the while. It started from school and ended up at the stuff like marriage. I confess that I have been most selfish among all of us.

<Sorry Card>

<Neelu is special as I hardly put in efforts to make someone smile>

At times when i get a chance to move out of my fairy world, i realize that they are the one i can always count on! They are my best friends forever irrespective of everything. Thanks buddies for bearing me all the while, I really really owe you all a big hug and i am so lucky to have you all by me. whatever happens, where ever i go, I will always be there in your tough times (about the good ones i cant promise). Lots of kisses. Love ya!

PS: You can count on me like.. 1 2 3, and I will be there because that's what friends are supposed to do ohh yeahhh !!!

Dec 2009 <Rock Garden>

Dad:My Super hero!

He used to accompany me to school everyday when i was three. One day unlike all other mornings, i didn't feel like going to school, Kids you see..their mood may swing anytime. I said that i didn't wanna go but they didn't hear. I was dressed, combed and seen off. On the entrance of my kinder garden, I cried, fought and screamed. My demand was simple. I was in no mood of schooling that day but unfortunately he was getting late for his work. Circumstances made him slap me. I cried even more and he couldn't resist, he took me in his lap and we came all the way back home. he bought me chips and toffees on the way.

Bestie

"Did you visit 975 recently?" My sister inquired.
"I hardly go there Di, you know i don't do hookah and all." "But, wait! what happened?"
"Some retard called, I scolded him like anything." she stated while making faces.
I hugged her in response. after all she trusted her teenage sister more than the one who called and complained.

Shoes & Emotions

I didn't like my old shoes anymore. It had been six months since i was wearing them everyday. All my friends at school had better looking pair of shoes unlike me. Though dad used to polish them every second day, the original beauty of the shoes were lost long ago. I had strict instructions to do not demand for things as mom was quite concerned about my right upbringing. I was 7 years old, Class II i guess. I was quite afraid of my mom that time and even today she is the only lady who can shut me up and make me do what she wants.

The Companion

"Why do you keep so much of teddies on your bed, there is no space left to sit."
"Sit on couch then." I replied to my cousin. Like everyone else he was being rude to my toys. I was 17 and had 6 teddies with me. One of them was my favorite. "Nonu" i used to call her. She was bought to me by my best friends on my seventeenth birthday. Yes, it was a girl teddy as she had a pink outfit. After Nonu's arrival, my other toys had to face my continuous ignorance and slowly slowly they drifted apart. I didn't care much as i had Nonu. I shared almost everything with her.  Her small eyes and light colored hair used to look perfect. 

Crush

I get to see him for 15 minutes daily, during lunch. He is colleague, from a different department. I have never even waved him a Hi! but his colleague is my friend so basically we have a mutual friend. Though he have never expressed what he feels, he couldn't hide either. His expressions and body language say it all. Some 5'10, wheatish, smiling and you will find him wearing a shirt with jeans 90 % of the times. Dashing he look. 

Walking Tooth-brush

"Dad see this toothbrush walks" I screamed in excitement pointing my index finger towards TV. I was 5. Dad acted surprisingly.."Is it..wow!!" I instantly demanded for it. Mom asked me to calm down. Dad bought me the walking brush very next day. Though it was good at brushing teeth but i never found him walking. I was disappointed. "Dad, the shopkeeper didn't give you the right brush, see it doesn't walk, the one which is there in the TV walks, runs and even plays hide and seek." I stated one night while laying down next to him. He didn't say anything in revert. he pecked my forehead and hugged me to sleep.

Destiny

"Will you go on a coffee date with the person who commented above you" One of the testimonials in a community called "I love my Dad", introduced us. I was 17 that time. College going fun loving backbencher. we got in touch on orkut. It was a mutual understanding rather than an infatuation. I talked a lot to him about everything including my college, family, friends and boyfriend. He was mature, some 24 years old. i always found a good friend in him. He supported me psychologically at each step, let it be my career or personal relationships. We were good friends till i completed my post graduation but then things changed. In the span of those three years we never exchanged numbers. We chatted, we wrote mails or we posted on each other's walls. Our frequency of chatting used to vary. Sometimes everyday, sometimes once in three days and sometimes once in a week, based on his availability and my convenience.Once he didn't ping me for an entire month, that was something unusual.

An Encounter with Physics

I think i am done with packing, what say papa? "What else would you like to carry except biscuits and waffers", Mom interrupted. "Nothing Mom, Chill! I will not be starving there and i will be coming home every weekend anyways." It was my own decision to get into a boarding school, after spending 10 years in the same damn day boarding. Dad didn't want me to stay away from home, mom was fine but then i was always stubborn enough to convince him anyhow. I opted for biology in 11 standard against my mom's will. I had no idea how will i manage in a new atmosphere, I knew that my new school is going to be little different but life gives you big surprises at times, much much bigger than you expect.

Friends For Life

They always do this. Cancellation of plans at last moments, useless arguments and delayed decisions. I threw the marker i was playing with and left the classroom. I could never understand when my friends turned so annoying. we knew each other from year 2008. Just after i left school. When i met them first, i never knew we will share this kind of bonding. From lectures to bunks, from hang-outs to night-outs, from juices to vodka, from Delhi to Chandigarh...we did it all. They were the best part of my life through out college. The beautiful destiny threw us in the same place again for Post graduation or say we were too dependent on each other that we couldn't even choose our paths independently. We were happy and i think that was enough. we hardly fought except the day i m writing about.
