Those two days of September 2011…:)

Three  girls..I call them smart, chic, fun…striving for success!! They had not known each other for long…but sometimes when you are all alone in a whole new world, looking for like minded people, you just click!!

Out on the last weekend of their togetherness…before they parted ways…they decided to have a li'l getaway! This had to be good! 

Indeed it was, so much so that out of the innumerable getaways in my two years' stay in Melbourne, I decide to write about this one, still trying to find out why! If I try to dig out my brain for a single reason, it might just not be possible :)

Girlfriends, an expensive car, the beachside drive on a sunny winter weekend, good music, innumerable stop overs…wow! The mesmerising view of a double rainbow in a beautiful winery , the loud laughters over wine and music in a small countryside bistro, the joy of dancing on the roads, the thrill of getting lost in the woods, a blissful cuddle across the fireplace, the heavenly spa at hot springs…awesome!!

The reason had to be more than this :)

Indeed, it was! It was their desire to live it up all in those two days, as if there was no tomorrow, making every moment a memory of a lifetime..spreading happiness around and gathering more of it…and yes we succeeded..in every sense!

CHEERS to US and CHEERS to LIFE!! 

Take a pause!!!

I have been a "Sex And the City" fan. And I have strongly believed, the quote, "Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they’re supposed to run wild until they find someone — just as wild — to run with", is my quote for life! 

A long drive, a perfect rainy day, the picturesque nature,  a good friend and the discussion takes a turn onto life. Aah!! Had never thought that the discussion would go this way :)..Then the question pops up - What do you feel, have you been doing, all this while?

I thought for a while, and I said ~

"I have been running, running for success, for recognition, for fun, for experience - Meeting a fleet of people, each different from the other, all of them good in one way or the other, gaining experiences, both good and bad. The INDEPENDENT ME..with the logo..LIVE LIFE!! I have no regrets whatsoever. I have loved each moment of it!" a sigh, a smile… and….. "but I think I am not sure, if this makes me happy anymore……"

Then came in the words that were least expected,

"Girl, Take a pause!!!"

Sometimes, things such simple and subtle, that you know of, deep down but have refused to think about, come in from people, you least expected, hitting you hard. And that's when you realize, yes this is it.

P.S. - Thanks dear friend :)

Spoilt By Choices ~ But the heart still pounds for what I left behind years ago…!

That night, I was happy, cheerful, my usual self….bubbling around with friends when a conversation popped up, about what had ended (not in one of the better ways that it could have) years ago…I had always believed that I being the strong self, fighting the world single handedly and still bearing a smile on my face, had moved on long time ago. I did have crushes thereafter, li'l flirtatious rendezvous with many more and all that made me believe that life was just fine..what I had let behind was for good and for the good :) 

But how a little conversation could have upset me to an extent that I, who had not shed tears in years, even when I had seen the worst, would not be able to stop them for days together!! I would not even call it a conversation, just a piece of gossip from my friend… and with that what hit me was…"He might not happy!" I cried for him, prayed for his happiness…just hoping what I thought was doubt of my mind.

The night went by…morning came up with so many questions tickling my brain. Why did this happen to me? Had I really moved on? Why was I thinking about it at all? Why did it disturb me so much? Was I really as strong as people thought of me? Could I feel the same for someone else??And the biggest of it all… Could 'Love' ever happen to me again??
