My idea of Life at its best.. :)
Walking into a shop, with a verrry vague idea about what's wrong with ur life…
‘I keep losing my change; where do I keep these "visiting cards" ’..
...
Standing and staring at all the stuff in the shop, wide-eyed ... clue-less about what to do n how to do it ...
Until, someone picks a Wallet for you ...
someone else tells the shopkeeper that you would like to take that, but only at such-n-such price ...
... meanwhile, someone asks you to stop eyeing that absurd piece, which is def. not worth the price … your meek protests get brushed aside as background noise :-D …..
…someone somehow fixes u a bargain, and Lo! ... you walk out with a beautiful wallet, in which (u happily tell all these someones) "gee! .. i can now preserve all my change and all my 'visiting cards' ..."
….then, u demand to do certain things that you WANT to, against others’ strong protests that they are tired of the public embarrassment you earn them every time .. (often, with a rather defeated old-warning of ‘snapping all ties’ this time :P ) ..
…. You move on, shrugging them away, and going ahead with what you wanted to do …. Until they join you, quitting the pretense of “civilized conduct in public”;[ face it! – it WAS fun after all :-D .. the pix on that swing are invaluable!]
insisting on taking pictures of precious moments, with a famously terrible track record in photography …. Gleefully handing over their cameras – with nothing but memory blurs, unclicked photos, and the like [blaming it on the ultra-hi-tech-ta of the cams]….
Ignoring the watch, as seconds tick by … threatening to sound the knell-of-farewell any second now …
Hastily compressing all your stock-of-stories, and shooting a volley of anecdotes, that you oh-so-MUST-share (it’s a race against time!!) …
… somewhere, sighing inside (you know it’s beyond the farewell time..) .. and suddenly reciting one of your favourite Classic nursery rhymes …
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls, and made them cry…
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran awayyy …
..before a ready audience .. that partly sings along, partly gives you that “uh-oh” look of fond-disapproval cum amusement .. and jointly reminisces over the story behind the bit of verse …
………..
*Bye Bye* …
*Awkward Hugs* …
*unvoiced grudges of SOME disappointed souls who had planned to binge on Golguppas again, together … :( but were rather insensitively let down*
*smiles that go home with you*
*at home, you proudly flaunt your meaningful shopping for the day, before anyone who would care to see ;) *
Some things are priceless …
Try meeting up with your old gangs …:D and rediscover yourself :)
Let me rephrase a famous saying …
“To meet and part, is the way of life,
And to part and meet, is the ray of life :) “
Thank you people! – it was a funday :D …
And all those silly geese who missed it [:( :(] … we missed you guyz!!

Hey Teapot, I take the privilege to give a comment on ur post nd that too with the "broadest grin" :)...
I must say that u wrote amazingly wonderful, one of ur best posts (as i believe coz much goes above my empty head :P). I read the lines first from the link uve provided on orkut, nd then frm th blog itself,,, appreciating the fact that ur frnd actually put that in her "about me" and giving a special place to the words uve written. It seems that each and every word uve written carries so much meaning in it (I m nt kidding) that one can actually extract meanings frm btween th lines and every time u read u cn make out more .... (i just loved what uve written, really)...ur post also gives me a sense of some thing like (i dont know if u will get the meaning,, bt still): A heavy hearted soul,, grappling to find a space in this world, struggling to keep her head high in th crowd so that u r not lost,, in it nd suddenly u realize that in so much chaos u r actually among safe hands and that u dont need to keep ur head popping up again and again in the crowd coz the crowd is actually ur own "same old friends whom u ve met after a longtime" nd that they all together are giving u a hand to hold and a lot of space (some times in there hearts too) to breath and enjoy the moments to the fullest...
