Fee'long'ing

We stretched and the muscles ached. They cringed for being together and normal and sensible again. But the pain is sweet, it makes being together so much better and if we did not strectch we would have never realized the sweetness of longing. For there is a sweet so sweet, it makes longing worth it.

And I am glad, we both like longing, so much!

I just hope what we long for is worth it :)

Amen!

'Mad'rid

There is no particular reason why this post is inspired and it was just one of those days when somethings just enter your mind and refuse to go away.

I remember walking down the streets of Madrid and I saw this picture perfect couple. And they were breaking up. The girl walked off and it chilled me to the bone when I saw the pain on the guy's face. May God not give anyone such pain!

Ambition

I lost it in the middle and was sort of settling into a life without one when all of a sudden i find that it is in something so material :)

Yeah, 203 it is :)

Stuff

It was a brilliant weekend in Ooty. Lovely weather, nice car, decent roads, no urgency and lovely company. The drive was awesome and the rain and mist made it beautiful. The food rocked as did the hill station as well as the chocolates, of which I have so much, so drop in home if you want some of the 9 types of chocolates that I bought.

But all this is ok, and I would have enjoyed it anyways, even if I was alone. What then made it so nice?

The only thing that made it so special is that it brought back so many feelings and committments that were pushed to the back of our minds. I, actually, we realized that the friends from college are still as important, if not more, at this point in time. We need each other, if not for anything else, just say "I love you for what you are and I will be around if you need me." Just a confirmation of the fact that we can be liked, that we are nice people, and that there is someone who is just a call away.

Some of us in the group are in love and will be married sooner or later. But we still need these friends, the good old friends from engineering days who will always be there, like us for whatever we are and will become.

In this trip, we realized this and this one thing, makes the whole trip so so worth it.

Keep in touch people, for nothing else in the world, not all the money, cars houses or holidays will take us through a rough patch in life, or even more simply, make us feel like the most special people in the world.

P.S. I wish this was a post in a physical diary, the ink would have smudged. Che che!

A thousand flirts!

There are a thousand of them,
they come close to me,
they talk to me
and remind me how beautiful life can be

In all hues and colours they come
and in rhythms and beats
i love many of them
i flirt, through the day

Dabbling between various kinds,
at home, in office and while i move around
some dance in sync and drive me wild
so much, that I get drunk on them

But only some stay
and whisper in my ear all night
and play with me through the night

And in the middle of the night,
when i rest in peaceful slumber
they leave as quietly as they entered my mind
and slip away in the dead of the night

Very few remain, all through the night
to arouse me in the morning
and these, lovely ones, make it to the list on the right :)
