We all have that atleast one dirty little secret, no matter what, we can’t part with it! Well, I have many. 😀
Nevertheless, “you” are my dirty little secret, and I think I’ll keep you”.
… and this song is on repeat for the last couple of days so much that I think I can breathe The All American Rejects!!

“Haathi Ghoda Paalki, Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki“, we would scream as the day would start with the room filled with flowers and mom would make garlands and the smell of sweets would blend perfectly with the fragrance already present. Schools used to give us the privilege to sleep a little extra that day but who wanted to! Janmashtami, it used to be!
The evening was the most awaited part of the day. In Delhi, scenes from Krishna’s life were enacted and portrayed on streets. Children would dress up as Krishna and Radha and as other various characters. Scenes from Mahabharata would adorn the street. Such colours and vibrance put altogether for Krishna’s birthday! Too much fun! Icecreams, Chole Bhature, Gol Gappe, Balloons; your every minute delighted with something or the other. Krishna sitting with Ray Ban while Radha would be sipping her Coco Cola. Gathered crowd only to swing the cradle of baby Krishna idol (that’s where I actually understood the phrase “never give up”)…
…and here I am sitting in my office, deadlines to kill; face resting on the palm; looking at the clock ticking and gazing outside the window (I have a huge ass window) … I wish I could have been a part of the parade back at home.
Nonetheless, Happy Birthday Gopala! 🙂
Butter treats tonight.
I have always quoted, that you can’t choose your relatives but thank goodness you can always choose your friends! Today on this day, the first Sunday of August; the friendship day, I would like to raise my head up high and thank you all (well, right after I would have crushed you with a hug)!
Thank you.
It’s been 23 years of my life and I know I couldn’t have done it any better without you guys! When I look back, I have this box full of bizarre-funny-emotion-rolled memories which unleashes itself on me and (yes I admit) leaves my eyelashes moist with a stupid smile on my face and thoughts that floods my head with an exclamation of “hey! I can’t believe I did that!”
Those ruled pages, pens borrowed, those tea breaks, those bitchy fights, the singing sessions, the school bunks, the college lectures, those pity blames on each other, proxies, the late night assignments, booze, mocking each other, that first rain, to bring that one smile, look-your-crush-is-there hoots, embarrassing each other yet being there for one another even when it meant to hunt the spider down together and squash it at 4 am.
Well, what can I say, friends don’t let you do the stupid things. Alone.
Happy friendship day! *cheers*
