We all remember the bed time stories of our childhood. The shoe fit Cinderella, the frog was turned into a prince, Sleeping Beauty was awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales. The stuff of dreams. the problem is, fairy tales don't come true. It's the other stories. The ones that start in dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. The nightmares always seem to become the reality...

Run

People always run. When things don't go as they wish it's the easiest thing to do, to escape their negative emotions and find something that will replace them with positive ones. People run from themselves.

It's been raining all week. Sort of nice I think...who knows why.

That time of the year...

Trees grow... leaves fall... And before anything, you realize its that time of the year... when friends complete another year working... when friends get their visas and go away... when friends go some 2000 kms to work and start something new...

And to think of it, its happening this year too... Turns out, the entire phenomenon works on the avalanche effect... Friends going away in year 't+1' is way way larger than year 't'!

Sob Sob ;(
Miss you all guys.. :|

Halfway between the gutter & the stars!

And I drop Choko La out of my "must-eat at" places... But it was evident... No Pita Pizza... No Penne Pasta.. No goat cheese... Nothing any more... Sighhhh :(

And I make meticulous plans answering my whats and hows and whens!
:)

And I travel distances in 2 months which are far greater than what I traverse in a normal year!

And I wish and dream and sleep...

And I wait for September to come with my fingers crossed...

And I pray for the tests to be over and everything to be fine.. :|

And I iterate... and reiterate... my thoughts before validating them (Gawwwd... when did I become such a meticulous person??)

And I fall in love... with another city... ahhh!

And I miss MDI... and the (n)ever-changing food... and the absolute random talks!

"Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?"

"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand."

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another which states that this has already happened."
