I lay out a story and stand back and admire it's gentle blue tones.
He looks at it and says 'Oh! I didn't know you do pink.'
The story is white and we need to clean our glasses.

Every time she walks away from them, she knows she'll miss them. As her she turns away, her smile fades and she thinks of how they make her laugh and make her feel the world is a birghter better place.
Every time she walks away, she knows she will miss the person they turn her into...

Isn't it amazing what we can live through? Stark poverty, extreme physical pain, heart break and trauma. The remarkable human ability to adapt and to compensate and to survive.
But every once in a while, you lose something that is so integral to you, that surviving the loss seems to be the lesser outcome. A compromise. And in a perfect world, such heart break, such grief, should rightfully mean the end of everything else.
The worst Life can do to you then, is to make you stand up again and force you to continue your life, with a crutch, if need be. Make you redefine you identity.
And show you, that in spite of your beliefs and conviction that it was the most important thing in your life... you can still go on and even make a better life.

He tells her he wants her.
She just smiles, because she knows it isn't about her at all.
He just wants to be the kind of guy who would want a girl like her....
What was the question again?

Yeh Dosti...
Friendship is a crazy thing. So much more common and more complex than love. And yet, so little is said about it. It is a blanket word that covers a range of relationships - for each friendship is different, and changes at different stages of life. It is more of a catchall - if it's closer than acquaintance but not as close as love and if it is not family, then it must be friendship.
In otherwords: Acquaintance < Friends < Love, all of which < > family
Hum nahi thodenge...
Coming back to friendship - this one is about those friends you make in school or college. Those really strong bonds and shared memories. People who knew you when you were a different person. People who are different people now...
Why is it that we cannot make the same kind of friendships later in life? And why can't we hold on to the ones that are made, except for the very few?
Those who have lived in a hostel always think of those days as the best years of their lives. But if they were so good, how come no one's tried to replicate it later in life? Why do people leave that life behind and go on to build their own families, acquire their own homes and cars and pets?
Perhaps this is something to do with our development as people - the older you get, the better defined your personality is , the fewer the number of people you can tolerate .
Or maybe it is that friendship is in conflict with the family and love relationships... and friendship must of course lose that battle due to afore mentioned heirarchy.
Maybe the very friendship is based on the fact that it is not as binding or close as love and family. It is like hostels - tolerable and even cozy, but only because you know they are temporary.
