Actually, there's nothing to imagine about it, each of us has most definately at least one person, with whom you'd have felt this. Or did I just get lucky? I have at least 12 of them, on last count. Did I say lucky?!!!
Whether it's just the familiar faces or the security you find in something that's known to you... Or maybe it's both. I know it's not always going to be there, in fact I was pretty sure the time I had come to finally let go, but apparently not. Sure, it's different. But it's there. Sure, it'll be even more different, but at least the memories will be there.
There was and always is a lot of letting go involved... You don't share day-to-day secrets, it's probably not easy and at sometimes the easiest to make your confessions, it's a lot of giving in to the fact that maybe they've moved on and have found better friends, it's a lot of question marks in your mind about what and who your dearest friends have become even though deep down they are essentially the same... it's the same drumming on my head, it's the same making of the movie "pen" (in which I star), it's the same teachers and their stories... Which I don't think we are going to tire of anytime soon. You'd think their effect and "funnyness" wared off after 6 years!
If I relate some of that stuff to you, you'll probably give me a weird look; ok a weirder look, happy? But with them, it's still hilarious enough to create an uproar. I think we've seen each other at our worst, through some of the toughest times, and some of the calmest and simplest and happiest times. I guess that's where the bond lies.
It was an absolute pleasure seeing everyone after ages, and right when I needed it. Just plain ol' laughter and commotion and acceptance. I dunno how that happened... the acceptance.. I was the "late entry" in the "gang"... but somehow, they let me in. And I'm forever indebted. Will be.
Anyway, that's enough of that. I hope each of us finds that solace, peace, calmness and a sense of joy and... just being with at least one friend. I hope each of my friends, you guys, always find good "better friends", if you must. May you always know, that there'll always be this grandma to come back to. And loads of happy things.
Yours forever sthupitly.
P.S : Results, are FINALLY, finally out. I cleared everything. Not that good, but managed to fit into the cream of the class. Can do better. Passed with warning.
First, congratulations on clearing all your exams and getting into cream of your class :))
And then....friends...old friends..I think all ma old friends are kinda extinct now..I'm just not in touch with anyone....except one fella, who also happens to be ma best friend..
I have at least 12 of them,
You are one lucky dudette!!
Time do create gap among friends...but they are still there...most of them...most of the time when you need em....hai na?
you call a gpa of 8.5 "ok"
you ok?
geek yea, you are!
anway...good to hear you had fun
@a : Thank you for the congratulations. It was very un expected, my passing that is. Whether they are there for you when you need them most also depends of whether you allow them to be there.
Lucky, I am.
@sis: I'm not a geek! Your the one studying all day and night, not that I'm asking you not.. I'm NOT A GEEK. blah.
Thanks for dropping by guys,
Yours forever sthupitly.
i study day and night..'coz my brains take a longer time to absorb something and still i do horribly and face the fact
YOUR A GEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!
Wow! What a luck Santa!
yay you passed :P
yaaay...so where's the treat?? don't call me to masilamani street okay? i want it in delhi (infact singapore would do perfect).
security is definitely what we all look for...in every aspect...job...family...friends...insurance etc. but what we forget is that there's a whole new world waiting to be explored simultaneously without losing the security that is already present.
so three cheers to you for discovering something like that (or not maybe??)...and enjoy the festival spirit
you scored an 8.5 GPA.....i've gotta agree then....
YOU ARE DEFINITELY A GEEK!!!!
take care though:P
p.s: welcome to the group
@sis : blah. it's all in your head.
@tarun : Yep. You be good around here and you'll be in santa's place at some point. Men! Sigh.
@Ry : Amen.
@Nav : For passing? You want a treat? Jeez, and here I thought people were expecting too much from me.
Yes, there is that. I'm not not exploring what the world has to offer, i'm just enjoying the security, while I still can and while it's still offered. It's a nice place to come back, to know that you can come back too, when you've been facing the big bad world all day long.
You've been missed.
@nav (again) : That's my lowest. And my studying includes just listening in class. I don't start even looking for books till my exams are two days away. And even then, blah.
Not geeky. Definately not.
Thanks for dropping by guys,
Yours forever sthupitly.
you get a warning if your cgpa is 8.5? you kidding me!
@Pravin : Ummm.. No. figure of speech. And it's gpa. cgpa WAS 9.0 before this.. now it's 8.7 ish something.
Thanks for dropping by,
Yours forever sthupitly.
Hmmm... Na-ice.
And what a coincidence. My friend flew down from the US for a month's vacation and we met up just yesterday. Spent a long time catching up on things. It seemed just like yesterday that he flew. And today, he's here on a paid vacation from his dept.
Man, swells my heart with pride everytime.
Yeah, we believe that each of us has moved on, but then we realise that there's nowhere to go. Having shared almost all of the moments of your life, you realise that somewhere inadvertently the connection gets established. And then the absence makes the heart grow fonder.
12? You are a lucky girl, dudette! I'd be ecstatic if I could find the correct number of pall-bearers to, well, bear my pall... He he.
Regards,
Shri.
Bearing my pall would be going a lil far. But, yeah, it's the people I'm most comfy with.
I dunno.. don't think it's THAT strong as yet, don't want to think, maybe. I jinx a lot of stuff.
Thanks for dropping by! It's been ages.
Yours forever sthupitly.
12 ppl?? wow.. im happy with 3 :) ... but yes can never undermine how important they are..AND 8.5 IS OK?? man u must be some sorta nerd..
me got 8 btw :) .. REALLY HAPPY :D..
oh merry xmas :)..
Hey!
Long time. That's kewl. When there's people getting 9.8's (not that i EVER want to get that much), 8.5 is just k. Thankfully, my department has lesser "nerds".
A very merry christmas to you too.
Yours forever sthupitly.
P.S : It's usually 20.. but now that some of us are in different states, the number usually 12 in the non-holiday season.
congratulations from me too.And well,anybody in the 'cream' is a geek.Period. :)
wait.GPA of HOW MUCH? 8.5? I got that much in two semesters each year....put together :D
wow.12 best mates.And I have 500 people whose first name I have trouble remembering ;)
And hey,When you have mobile phones,the internet and all,what difference does time make?I've talked to more schoolmates in the last month than in the 6 years before then :)
@A : Eight point five is shit. And that's that.
It's called happenstance, by the by,
@ A (again) : To me the internet and mobile phones provide for a something, that I use to hide behind. It's not the same as sitting together and yapping over coffee.
And that's a LARGE number.
I see your taking your duties very seriously!
Thanks for dropping by,
Yours forever sthupitly.
