An Old Letter Revisted!

..snip..

Through the window of time, some memories whisper.
Those stolen moments arrive in a flash.
I am caught in a time warp.
My mind refuses to believe that these distances aren't transitory; that it'll be quite some time before we meet again; that our paths have finally taken turns and diverged.
Stronger than all these benumbing thoughts, however, is the conviction that whatever be our paths, we will always strive to attain the highest peaks of success; that we'll give each other reasons to be proud of our friendship; that we'll shine and distinguish ourselves from the crowd.
I can't tell you how eagerly I wait to see you climb the ladders of success. From whatever I have seen, I must warn you that the battle is tough, the task is daunting and distractions are plenty. But you must stick to your chosen path. And run like you are mad.
Pant and gasp.
But run.
Run for what it is worth.

This comes from a note I wrote for a dear friend more than a year back. How appropriate it looks today!

Four gruelling exams in two days. Sleep inducing question papers. Neat, somewhat blank answer papers.
The bird who has tried shitting on me twice in two days at nearly the same time of the day. Yesterday, she had her way but today I escaped. Mostly by providence.
Sleepy evenings, groggy nights.
Half sensical telephonic conversations.
Satirical jokes, all-revealing DBabble nicks.
That pretty much sums up my last two days!

Except the night two days back. That kind of things happen only once in a while. When you look inside yourself and speak the things you were always afraid to admit. The things you never could tell anyone. Not even yourself.

Suddenly, the trip to Germany seems to be round the corner. Hectic packing, making checklists, ringing up people, booking tickets etc serve as constant reminders. Then there are the occasional attempts to plan a trip to Barcelona, registering requests for Italian studs' photus and all that masti! Hmm.

Am waiting to reach home. Will get to spend time with bhabhi for the first time.
Still a few days to go before that.
