Friends as I know......

I guess the sheer brilliance of my Sophia's English teacher always makes me use a dictionary whenever I think of a word, topic or a concept. So, as usual looked it up too; and was not so pleasantly surprised to see there are lots of variants of that term too. it is like gregor mendel extended his fruit fly experiment everywhere in this world. I guess this is now not so much about defining friends/ friendship but to reminisce about only the friends who contributed lots of chunks of their lives into my cauldron of life and who would always be important, even if I ain't in touch with them. My earliest memory of a friend is of DS, my class 2 friend. though i don't think i knew the meaning of the word friends or even knew if we were friends. All I knew that she would recite her tables with me, sit together in class and in photographs, we would and share coughs and stys.

Hum - We

When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one. This collective mind of theirs helps them achieve the impossible. Hum - We!  Can we do something on our own without taking even a gram of help from anyone?

But it was not to be! Date shifted off. You know words like these helped to keep it going....No, no I never did pity myself nor did let anyone else do it. Bought more clothes than I did an entire year! And always kept something on my WANT List! But, I wished I could go to the Raahgiri day tomorrow! But that was not to be. Ok, any Sunday would do! God! In the hospital I met someone with an ligament injury....Real painful. Obviously, my pain doesn't really bother me when I see people hurt bad. In a hospital, my bitter side just disappears. A new PATIENT Me appears! I really dig that Me! But apart from the hospital I am the Warrior Me! So, went to pick up Pillow cases, Pink and Peach! I also realised today that I dislike Peach in all shades, so far. While ha...
