With the brush we merely tint, while the imagination alone produces colour.

I am feeling like James Bond today. Hahaha! So proud of my time management skills.

Plan to cook Butter Chicken with Nutty in the evening. I should remember to pick up cream.

I am wearing sea green beads with my green kurta. I picked up the most colourful beads from Either Or in Pune this time but somehow cannot find something to wear it with. Think I shall buy something just to match it with the pretty beads.

I wanna finish writing something I have been sitting around with for two whole days though I am so apprehensive about it. I am not confident of my writing skills right now. Hmmmmphhhh!

I spent a rainy rainy Sunday with Megha that included a scrumptious Chinese lunch, book shopping and ended it with coffee at her place while we happily FB stalked people we know in common or even those we don't know in common. How I enjoy FB stalking people with Shivi and Megha. Hehehe!

Don't fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold..

I fell in love with this cover of  Romeo and Juliet by The Killers. :-)

Sometimes voices remain just voices.....

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

How I love his quotes! :D

Apni bhi koi uljhan ko door karkey dikha do humko....

:-)  Seriously after all the talks I have had with my BFFs and some really good friends over the past one week and a half (in various different parts of the country) if I can finally see sense I shall have to thank the following :-

1) Finooooo: What would I ever do without you in my times of mindboggling confusion ? Even the fact that you sat me down in that coffee shop called Aromas ( man did it stink or did it not stink. hahaha! ) in FC Road and made me tell you exactly what I had in my mind and  how exactly I planned to go about it and that you have never ever given me such a strong piece of your mind when you broke down every myth I had in my mind. Think I was almost in tears but I guess I needed this. Sigh! Now I am not gonna talk just act. I don't know how far I shall get but somewhere I shall get for sure. Oh and we finally figured the name of that Doors song after so many years. Yeayyyyyyyyy! "Touch Me Baby". : D

2) Rad: Mother hen you were like those couple of days and oh so understanding. I miss your constant questioning and I can't thank you enough for the long talk you, me and Finooo had that day in the balcony. I lauuuu your house. Think I told you that enough number of times. I wanna see more of you and Nik. :-)  Not to forget Nik for the constant supply of brownies and goodies and the music in the car he plays which I'll always remember.

3) Saggy: The more I say the lesser it seems. You don't read my blog ever but one Sunday spent with you was enough to realise what I miss the most about living in Bangalore. My Counsellor who almost always gets my sanity, my eccentricities and my wild streak.

4) Hazel Eyes: For patting my head so many times that night in the balcony as I sat lost in my wine induced haze and  ranted and raved about life and its unfairness and cos you think I have a good vocabulary. I knew I did but it feels good coming from you psycho. On a more serious note you have always been around and help me out when I least expect it though I know I suck at keeping in touch and despite the funny history we have had we are friends. :-)

5) P: For coming up with the most outrageous suggestion over chat on gtalk one Saturday afternoon. ;-) Though it does seem elusive right now but I think I finally saw something for what it is worth. Heheheh! This one's for girly, tipsy times I look forward to spending with you. ;-)

This is what happens....

This is what happens when you go back to a part of the world that was home once upon a time.
You meet old old friends, get all happy and giggly.
You can't wait to exchange notes and spill it all out.
One gets drunk over Bloody Marys, B52s and strange beer shots.
The sister is pronounced to be a mini version of me.
The jokes are so familiar, the kinds you wish someone cracked more often.
It doesn't feel alien like the city one lives in.
Warm, welcoming and fuzzy inside.
Holding hands and wondering next morning.
Ah well remnants of some old emotions, the last bit.
Picture after picture taken.
Dropping Mini Me at the airport while we bicker.
 A voice I heard early that morning and thinking if it was real after all.
A three hour long journey that ended with yummy Thai Lunch at Malacca Spice.
A newly done up beautiful and gorgeus house, with the prettiest knick knacks, that has R's signature style in every nook and cranny.
An evening spent with R and P with lots of conversations, laughter, some tears when one realises maybe I needed just this.
That voice once again.
Fitting into each other's lives or all this is gonna amount to are fragments of conversations?
Curiosity, confusion,  some peace and last of all maybe HOPE.

Aaya karo ji kadi saddi gali bhul ke vi.... :-)

Can't enough of this song. I wonder why.
