Friends, My Life!

You are my Butterfly...is a song sung by Crazy Town. But I am not writing this post to tell you about how wonderful the song is, but what wonderful memories it conjures up in my mind. This is a song that probably 6years ago every young soul was rocking too. I was no different. I was enjoying the best years off my life - College!

I was in an all girls convent college, but I am not complaining because I have made memories and friends that would last me a lifetime. It was the time I first fell in love, put on eye makeup, went out pubbing, and realized I could write (my poems were published in the College Mag).

Life was good. I was having a ball. I made two good friends. We bunked classes together, we danced in the canteen together to beat of FIVE, we went to RSI parties, we bitched about classmates together, and the best thing of all, we shopped together. Then we decided to do something crazy...we decided to Gate Crash!

There was a party that one of my classmates had told me about. She said that it was going to be a great hit as there was a DJ who was going to be playing the latest hits and the best part was the BOYS!! She said that her friend's friend was organising this as it was her 21st Birthday. She also told me that she wasnt very sure if she knew her that well. But my mind was already tuned off to her muttering. I was thinking of going there with the girls and gate crashing.

To my suprise when I ran the idea across, my friends agreed and said it sounded like fun. So we bunked the last hour of college and sped off on our two wheelars to Amrutha Castle (thats were the party was being organised). We were a little nervous when we reached. But soon we saw some common friends and felt at ease. We walked in just as the DJ was playing Butterfly. We felt like those beautiful little creatures. Come Come My Lady... the beat was beautiful. We swayed to the music, let ourselves loose. Looking at us the entire crowd joined in. We were laughing and dancing and having a good time...You Are My Butterfly! It was so much fun. Friends are the best thing that can happen to anyone.

Then suddenly, they recognized us. We were actually in a wrong party!! This was an another party that was going on in a different section of the same place.
We were laughing so much that embarrasment hardly touched us. We slowly let ourselves out and when we were safely out in the open, burst out laughing like small schoolgirls. But the song still played in our minds. Come Come My Lady... You Are My Butterfly!

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

It Happens Only Once?

I have touched love, tasted it, felt it, sensed it, and felt alive with it! Love has done the same to me too. Its funny, I have had many people ask me, what is Love? How do you know that it is Love? I wish I could tell them, there is nothing else, but Love! But then I know they would look at me with a weird look in their eyes which says, I have heard many stupid answers before, but this is an original. Disappointed, I resign and explain, like I would to a child, what love feels like. India is a place, dominated by a crazy culture called 'Bollywood'. Its amazing to see the impact it has on one and all. If anyone should ask me, what rules India, I would like the answer to be Bollywood. Life, including politics, takes inspiration from this Industry. Then why shouldn't Love? Imagine the dreamy eyed Shahrukh Khan on a basketball field, looking love struck and telling the kid, Pyaar sirf ek baar hota hai. The impact this dialogue had on the audience was phenomenal! I can't se...

WHO DUN IT??

Long time ago when man lived in caves, they often wondered if it was by magic that the voice echoed in the darkness of the cold barren caves. Evolution, as the scientists say, started in these dark barren caves, where cave men evolved to become the more civilized human race. But still the mystery continued. The mystery of sound! Man continued to be bewildered by Nature. And this kept him busy. He tried to figure out ways to improve his life. Life as we know it today, owes its gratitude to many known and unknown faces. If it were not for people like James Clerk Maxwell or for Heinrich Hertz we would have never stopped being awe struck by sound. Ever since they figured out electromagnetic waves the world took another leap at technology. It was a small step for these scientists and a huge leap for Radio. Wireless communications helped bond boundaries and bring people closer. But confusion begins every time a teacher asks her student, “Who invented Radio?” The answer never surprises anybod...
