Another Milestone

I was going through my blog today, right from the most recent post to the oldest one,
I have seen myself grow, my thoughts change from it's inception to manifestation,
From friends being friends to being best friends or drifting apart,
From getting a job to quitting one.

From working hard to feeling lazy,
From relaxing to acting crazy,
From feeling down in the dumps to feeling exhiliration,
From the chai tapri to the coffee station.

From the factory to home,
From events occured to memories forgone
From being lost in thought to giving an extempore
From loving something to disliking another to it's core

I HAVE SEEN & BEEN ALL THIS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

As i wish my friend a Happy Married Life Ahead and as he achieves yet another milestone, i realize my life has been nothing short of full either and therefore, it is imperative for me to use this day as a time stamp for my life as well.

Kellu - we wish you the very best today and everyday forever with your life & now wife Akku!

A perfect Saturday!

Yesterday was a wonderful evening
Almost felt like a page from Dil Chahta Hai or the likes of movies that revolve around Friendship.
I went out, the only girl
With a group of four boys
And Hum Paanch-on ne khoob majje kiye.

From my favourite lil cafe in Chembur
Le Cafe' being the meeting spot as usual
We headed over to Colaba via the Freeway
Starbucks was host to a poetry reading event
Which we didn't attend because we were in our happy place
Just being with each other and because we managed
To make a table for two accomodate five!

Next stop... Marine Drive
Scores of people sitting, snuggling, giggling, jogging
along the long stretch from Nariman Point to Girgaum Chowpatty.
We were a hungry lot and decided to have our grub
So we walk towards Cafe Royal
And order Soup and Steak Sizzler

We discuss the H(B)ollywood painting themed on "The Last Supper"
and watch two couples enjoy their quiet dinner to our right
We wait for the drinks and food to arrive
And so it does in time
The yummiest steak, even better than one's i tasted in the U.S exclaims one.

With dinner done, there's only one thing on my mind
I need to get home, it's 21:30 already
Boys, let's go home, please.
Not without dessert at Rustomji's.
We walk to the legendary Icecream place
Enjoy our King Mango (which isn't Alphonso - but still tasty)

Now with a tummy full
We walk on Marine Drive once again and head towards the car
Taking in the sights and sounds of our beloved city
More contemplative than before
More aware of our blessings

Thankful for being part of the most wonderful city
Thankful for having each other
And as a closing statement
One of the boys says:
"Agar har ladki teri tarah hoti, toh hum ladkon ke life mein tension hi nahi hota"

I take that as the biggest compliment of my life
There have been days when i have questioned myself
About my personality, the way i am, speak, dress
But that one statement made in jest
Reinforced all i stand for.

Thank you boys, for a perfectly wonderful Saturday!


To my Minion: Sorry for hitting below the belt, literally.
