Can a stranger be your friend?

Well this post is an afterthought of Jhootha Hi Sahi. So what'd I think of the movie??!!

Hmmm..... London's juz amazing.... Beautiful!!! N I wish to visit someday. The songs were really cute n lovely!!! (Still playing I've been waiting) :-) Oh and Raghu rocked!!! I wouldn't say it was a bad movie after all. Considering that the director has surprisingly made John act better than most of his movies... :-) And I loved the whole gang as well...

So coming back to the thought. What do you think of befriending a total stranger? Telling them about your life and sharing your thoughts. Asking them for advice. Oh and finally fall in love... Sounds a lot filmy??? Really?

So how many of us haven't had those special people in our lives...The person you kept talking to on and on....when time and phone credit was juz not enough for your chats. Someone you could call up anytime.....even @ 4 a.m to tell them you'd flunk the exams the day after....n who'd always motivate you and suggest which all topics to learn! That someone you wouldn't mind writing assignments for. The one who made sure you always reached home at the right time....And helped you settle in the new city. Or the ones who'd always listen to your cribbing over your unfair and impossible manager or the stupid work at office....The ones who always seem to have time for you :-) Yup we call them our best friends!!! :-)


When you first met them, did you have any clue as to how close you'd be? When they called you up the first time, did you ever think you'd enjoy talking to them? When you shared something with them for the first time, did you know they'd be so caring and supportive?


Well in that case, what if you found some stranger in the bus to office, in a chat room, or over the phone. You initiated a casual talk....topics started flowing in....and you felt you're of the same wavelength. Well wouldn't you want to keep this acquaintance? And when time flows, and such meetings carry on, who knows what they can turn into! :-)

'll be there for you!!! :-)

After a long tiring day at office
And a huge fight with the bus driver and autowallah
When that head splits and all I want is to drop dead in my bed
The phone suddenly rings..!
With the sweet sound of a caring friend
All tensions left behind
And life seems to be back to normal!!! :-)

Been exactly 4 years today since we first met. Growing together, sharing both joys and blues, learning to play the game called 'LIFE'...!

Here we are today. In totally different places... With our own li'l worries and troubles. But still remembering those first paces we took together!!!

Kudos to our friendship!!! And hoping to cherish this relation forever!!!

Keep smilin'

Keep shinin'

Knowing you can always count on me, for sure

That's what friends are for...

For good times

And bad times

I'll be on your side forever more

That's what friends are for...

Ever since I moved to Bengaluru, people have been asking me how I find this place. I've always got the same answer..."Mumbai was far better!!" And why do I think so? TRAFFIC!!!

Yeah that one thing that irritates one and all around here. And to add to the inconvenience of the already-late office-goer, the authorities suddenly decided they'd make the roads more narrow!!! Yup with all those widening n fly-overs n under-passage constructions...

Anyway at times this slow traffic kinda grants favors too ;-) Like the other day when I'd almost reached the climax of the book n sooo wanted to complete it before I reached office....Or yesterday when I was meeting friends n considering that all of us were moving at this wonderful pace of 1mm/min, I'd wished I would be the last to reach the spot..! :-)

Today was one of those super-exciting-rush day!!! So when I asked the bus bhaiyya to drop me at the signal, he started cursing me! Oh yeah as if I was paying to get dropped off where he wished!!! :P  I got down and it was all chaos at the junction!!! Well what's the point of having wider roads, when there're actually no signs to guide??!! Oh n did I mention it was raining too!!! Forget the auto, I decided walking would be better...N yeah I was right :-)

Hello you I-know-how-to-make-the-city-better people, where are the sidewalks??? Am I supposed to zig-zag past the almost-moving cars and have a great time??!!! Oh n what's with you biker, don't you realize you're not the ones who're on the road???? I was grateful to that someone who thought of putting median strips...

So there I was jumping puddles and dodging hits from I'm-in-a-hurry bikers who decided they'd pave their way out through those medians...To all of them "Watch it mister!!! I hope (*comments censored)" Oh n to all those honking and sneering at me, for walking on the "correct" side of the road and minding my own business "Hehe you have no idea what's in store for you ahead!!" :-D  To those auto-wallahs who decided to turn their meters for this one time, instead of blurting out atrocious rates "Well done!! You guys are rich today!!!"

Phew finally I made it home. Almost 45 minutes..! All those cars moved 3 inches within this time, so I heard!!! ;-) Now what was the point of carrying an umbrella? I'm drenched from head to toe!!! But thoroughly enjoyed walking in the rain....! If Amma was here, she would have snapped at me for making those wonderful prints on my favorite white salwar.

Sadly after this whole adventure, I realized my bag wasn't in fact water resistant. N all my stuff is laid out under the fan right now (including my laptop)

N me....Watching the rain from the balcony, with a hot cup of coffee....
