The only funny thing about turning 30, is the episode on Friends when they all turn 30. And by funny, I mean sad. And by sad, I mean meh. My only question is, what next? Turning 32. Oh, would you look at that, age is increasing while bra size remains the same. Turning 35. Girl, I think the One came. And came again. And left. Turning 40. Still cry to mommy about period cramps. Aww. Absolutely nothing is what is next. I have no more aspirations, or dreams, or all the things our beloved APJ stood for in life. While my motivation to get up from my bed remains the same (breakfast) the satisfaction of living throughout a day is dropping unrealistically. I finished The Hand Maid's Tale two weeks ago, beautifully written, and the fact that I could relate to woman of such deep emotions was surprising.

Its late in the night, brain is refusing to think of a title for this post. To my awesome best-friend, *grins* I miss those long-long hours of phone calls to each other. I miss listening to you while you were on the potty. And you would say, ‘my ass is dry, hold on’. I’m sorry, I had to mention it. :P Of all the things I remember about you in school, I do not remember us exchanging our landline number at all. Do you?! :O Remember the days when we would call each other 6 times a day?! What on earth would we talk so much, I still wonder. I still know your landline number by-heart. I know you don’t remember mine. :/ Come back to B’lore, we’ll go to Goa and you can make fun of me again for all the stupid things I did on the Goa trip. I want to sit next to you in a classroom and make fun of the teacher. Remember those big sheets in which we had some long-long convos. Stupid internet dint allow me to put up the pictures of them only. Me: When we meet after 20 years ...
I see a face. That's what its all about. Through the cold rains, Amongst the cold winds, On the grey sky, I see you. I sit down, cross-legged, my style. And look up to you. To see you again. To see you through your mask. Blink your eyes. Stay still, gaze a little maybe. Shower on me. Shower on us. I see you. I see you now with your halo. Give a sign. To say its alright. Coz, the grey turned into the dark. And you have disappeared without a trace.
