I came up with this piece last night, 30th MARCH 2010 at 02:00am -02:07am...
I can't promise you the sun, moon and stars,
but i promise to sit & listen to you for hours.
When there is trouble,
and life has burst your bubble,
Look around and you will find,
Someone there to ease your mind.
There are times when we agree on naught,
and there are times when we have fought,
But that doesn't mean i' ll go away,
It just means i am here to stay;
Because every relationship Big and small
Has disagreements strong and tall,
It is only when you over come these,
That you feel you are at peace.
Life isn't always flowers and bees
And neither is it wine and cheese.
It may be topsy, it may be turvy
The road ahead may seem downright curvy.
That's when you have to just look-
At the most familiar but forgotten nook.
That place lies in your heart,
Know, my dear, we will never be apart.
Just give me a shout, when you're down and out
and we shall have it solved- Without DOUBT!

REUNION PART 2: BATCH'04
Sacred Heart ke baache, akal ke kacche, dil ke sacche decide to have a reunion. Shaunak, my great friend the warrior decides to take it upon himself to get things done. Then starts the umpteen number of facebook messages to decide the date. This happens after innumerable number of cancellations and postponing.
Finally the date was set for 27th of MARCH, right before some log ka egg-jam and right in between some others ka exam! Then starts round 2 of the planning; the most important factor: THE VENUE.
This part was the most hilarious, time consuming and irritating job to do. By now dear Shaunak was exhausted and decided to take a breather. So the rest of the people jumped in and by this i specially mean NEERAJ, who has been INVISIBLE for long. Hell, he didnt even meet us on any of our birthdays and didn't on his on birthday too(which was btw a month ago)People meet a week before to collect money and stuff, the worst being people enquiring a great deal and not turning up.(fume)
Two nights before the actual REUNION the venue is decide RAINFOREST after(DAYS INN, MOTIMAHAL DELUX, INDULGE, SHAUNAK'S khali flat, SCHOOL itself and probably more places i am not aware of.)
Come REUNION DAY,
ENTER RAINFOREST LOUNGE: Cute little theme lounge bar-restaurant place with jhaadis ugofying everywhere. The lights made us look NEON.All those people who wore white just lit up and that includes someone's banyan too. Hehehe.
Loads of dancing, hardly any catching up because of the AWESOMELY loud music. DJ was ok played some really really amazing tracks and repeated many (to my dismay) but he gave free shots on the house so that was fun :p
I learnt dancing from my dear friend Abhishek and i made Sid dance(achievement). AShmita and Ali are fun as usual.
Met many many old classmates, people who go way back
Met loads of people MIRALI, SAILI,VIDHI, NATASHA,VARUN,UMESH, AKSHAY,VISHAL1 AND 2,AMRIK,JAVED,SULAIMAN,SUDHIRA,SNEHA,KAUSHIK,ZOHEB, and many more, it isn't possible for me to post each and every name for the fear of forgetting someone.
DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY, LITERALLY ALMOST.
HAD DINNER and waited for dear Neeraj to get Sid's car back. We got late in the bargain but that was one way of getting to have fun past our deadline.
I had a blast! I drank two shots and my really close group called me talli :p and i m still in my senses, See m writing also.
Sid, ass and me left together. The stupid gate of my building, one of which was stuck and the other locked left me really tugging on the one that could have been opened had it not been stuck so bad. So i decided to climb the wall.
I CLIMBED, i jumped and i entered. Reached home and to my luck mom and dad didn't yell at me for reaching at 00:45 am. :) :)
So that was an adventures reunion party. I haven't described it in great detail because i am a little exhausted with the dancing and it is 2:21am right now.
Goodnight people. Will miss my CLASS '04 always!

FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE
My cycle had been lying untouched for long now. The duration of long is actually defined by some 3 years at least. The reason i even paid attention and got it repaired is because my dad wanted to take it to his work place and give it to the workers to use.
After it was repaired, i decided it was high time for me to start getting up early. The cycle was a motivating factor for me to get up.So, i kept the alarm at night and went to sleep. Next day morning when the alarm rang, i got up and set out for my morning cycle ride after ages.
I turned the key of the lock and instantly felt the rush of blood in my fingers. I sat on the seat and set foot on the pedal, it was heavenly. I instantly remembered the days when my neighbours and i used to go for bike rides early in the morning during our annual summer vacation.
Mid way through the whole morning biking exercise i made some interesting observations:
1.People actually find it weird to see a grown up 20 year old girl (though i don't look it)riding a bicycle in this day and age.
2.For the guys: You should get up early too for your own vested interest.All those of you who want girlfriends at least should. Or the guys who say they appreciate beauty :p. I saw many good looking girls (read:BABES :p :p) leaving for work in the morning.The early birds only will be able to catch the worm. No, kidding guys.
3.All sorts of Mandali people really have no work.
4. There is no timing for bad drivers on the road. They are there 24*7*365 and all you can do is BE CAREFUL!
5.A bicycle without a BELL is like a black and white TV, it loses its
charm. ( I miss doing the TRING TRING routine :( )
All in all the ride was fun.I felt energetic when i returned home and
convinced my dad not to give my bike away JUST YET.

AN ESSAY ON RISHI TALREJA :P
NAME:RISHI TALREJA
MEANING OF FIRST NAME: SEER/ SAGE
DOB: 10TH AUG 1989
Species: Shockingly he is also Homo Sapien.
Looks: Australopithecus
INTERESTS: DISSECTING EVERYTHING on the face of this earth, Ignoring people,
Whining, Making strange faces.
AIM IN LIFE: To do things that makes him happy.
How to make him happy: Ego massage and mollycoddle. FLATTERY WORKS WELL.
PLACES TO TAKE HIM ALONG: The beach, any beach.
HABITAT: Most of the time lives in the Virtual world.
Is most comfortable with Internet. So much so that he can marry his PC.
Interaction with Humans: Minimal unless assisted by the internet and set in virtual space.
CREATURE TYPE: Nocturnal
MY OPINION: Do not go near unless you mean no harm and are ready to face myriad questions on random bakwass.
RATING: 4/5 because no one is perfect.
Writing about someone you know is easy but writing about someone you don’t really know at all is a challenge. It is more like writing an assignment when you don’t know the basics of a subject. So what do you do?? You obviously Google the topic up, copy from books and if you don’t want to go through the trouble you’d just wait for someone else to write.
In this case my only cheats are his profiles,his blog and he himself. The man hasn’t been of any substantial help so to say. Chatting online just once doesn’t really help a lot you know.
So here goes, My understanding of RISHI.
It was extremely rude of him to have ignored me when I was right there in the canteen once but that’s ok I have come to terms with it. That apart he is an unconventional guy, a guy unlike most I have known in a good way. (Ok, I know his ego chart is expanding exponentially)Of what I have gathered in one and a half day, even though we come from diametrically opposite sun signs there are still things which make us look at situations in life from the same perspective.
From what he describes himself to be, I see a lot of determination. He detests following routines just for the sake of it. A fun person to talk to if you can look beyond your own views. For me it seems natural because we do tend to think in a similar fashion. Extremely good “conversationist”.
I agree he has done his diploma and then joined SIES GST. I do have friends and acquaintances in your class Rishi but I fail to understand how I completely missed out knowing you. I m sure it would have been fun knowing you much before the final semester of engineering.
He loves being mysterious and maybe that’s why he had been hiding all along. (haha) As advocates of Google Talk and haters of Facebook chat, I do really hope we keep in touch long after college ends and new chapters in our life begin.
I also hope you do well with your plans in life (wink wink) and don’t forget to call me to pitch in.
All in all a very interesting Sindhi Papad who deserves a tight Jhapad for Nothing :p(uggh that was bad but the poet in me wanted to show up) A really nice person to know if you like talking random things, analyzing stuff and generally ranting.
One of the very very few intriguing creatures in a ZOO called SIES GST.
I rest my case.
(Pheww, that was tough.)
