Relationships,in life, thrive on certain underlying "taken-for-granted"ness. This gets us rid of the psychological veil that engineers every movement and words to "look better". But with friends, you dont have to be someone else to keep them happy and impressed. Its you and all about being yourself.

Its interesting to see how we evolve with every relationship in life and how these bondings change to something different with passing time and widening distance and we realise their importance only when we feel any bit lack of it. How ironic ! But well, thats life.

The week has been good with usual coffee and conversations and not to mention the personal affairs of visa and other processes. Java City is probably bored os seeing me but what can i do i have no other place to go and not many people to meet.Whenever i cross Jaynagar or even Bannerghatta road , i cant help but think of those beautiful days when you never worried about whom-to-go-withs of any meet-ups . Yes, i had taken every one and every relationship for granted that i had never bothered to even think what is a life devoid of all these people.Punit's house still beckons me . It has seen all of us in all states of mind - Happy at just having done away with another semester, anxious with an incomplete project to be submitted tommorow, lost in the worst of trips and sometimes just doing nothing , staring at the wall for hours together sipping on lemon tea with cigarettes ! I cant help thinking of all these things . I mean how will you feel when you are ripped off something so precious .

Well, Aashish and myself were in for a good treat when we just bumped into "bakwaas" at Garuda . We had booked ourselves on the premier show of "Morning Walk" at Inox (Guess what ??!! We walked out within 15 minutes of its start :o) But this time meeting her was different from all these years. I suddenly felt the new-ness that we felt during the first few days of college. The phase of getting-to-know . I could no longer feel the take-for-grantedness with her . Ys she was still a very dear friend but something had come in between . Some formality is creeping in and it is so creepy to see that. I only hope that come what may, the closeness remains forever and even if we meet after many years , we will not have to display a formal gesture to make people feel comfortable.

Love

Special series - Start

Now that iam doing unjust with something i startd with so much passion, heres another attempt to rekindle the spark that is to remain for a very very long time now.

Life's going at a rather slow and torturous pace off-late. There is nothing much to do and added to that are the nostalgic moments and the regret of not being able to afford even a friend for a cup of coffee. Also i have been shuttling between mysore and bangalore trying to get my visa papers and other legalities in place. Iam also looking to start a very ambitious project despite being very poor on time. I think few things in life just need a start and it goes on automatically. This project aims at documenting the scene of rural education in india and also doing some sessions for these kids whose potential often go unexploited !! Any of you interested can get in touch and all you ideas and inputs are always welcome.

Anyways, i was talking of a special series that begins from tommorow. I would invite people, one by one, to write us all an article sharing their heart for the blog. Iam trying to contact as many people as possible but if i cant reach you just understand that it is because i dont know how to !!! So please feel free to mail me your writing and i shall post it .

Hoping atleast this would be a success

Stay tuned

Love - Loads & loads
