Crazy Peeps!

What an amazing last couple of days it's been. My birthday month is ending in an absolutely fantabulas way (kinda sad that it is ending). You know how I was saying that some days are so hectic but to be honest I love it. I mean it started from an impromptu vacation, that was all the kick start I needed. My birthday celebrations usually stretch on for a long long time. That's the fun part when you have a varied set of friends. And my friends are insane but that's the bit I adore about them, the way that they shed all inhibitions. From getting sloshed and reinventing a new dance style, to taking stupid videos, to making sure that you end up having the best time of your life, that's them. Now when am high, I love to dance and oh man..it's amazing when you find a partner who can meet your rhythm. The fantasy I always had was to dance with a stranger who made me so ummm we.. (ahem) weak in the knees that he left me panting and MAN..I FINALLY GOT THAT DANCE!

Crazy Night, Crazy Folks!

Religion and friendship don't have any barriers, that's what I truly believe in and if you are sincere, you make bonds that run deeper than blood. I take my friendships very seriously and they fall parallel to my family and in turn they get treated like family. What's better than that? Fun, Food and Laughs..that's all the things you need to bring in love and find happiness. The fact that someone has been so thoughtful to feed you your favorite food and your soul in turn, is one of the best things you can do for anyone. This is what I know and hence I am really big on feeding people. There are so many ways to show your love that mere physical way is just not the only way. And I love it when I connect with people who have the same notions. It takes very little effort but the thought that you want to share your food with someone is an amazing gesture that I really respect. Iftar feast before Eid is a tradition that is always followed and inshalla should continue, that's all that I wish for.

Friday Iftar feast lined up.

Belonging to a place and to people is something that we often take for granted. One thing I've learnt, keep your heart clean and things have a way of working out even though you may not think they will. From the fun filled nights, to days where you just chill and bitch and crib with friends are a treasure. From people I never thought would be back in my life, randomly called up to meet this month. I mean never could I imagine them making an effort to get back in touch. That's the mother of all surprises that I got this year. Effort shows you care because that's the reason you are making it in the first place, right? And when someone really cares, efforts don't seem like efforts at all.  Sweet new beginning must be given a chance if someone really makes an effort, what do you say? I would have said no before, but now not anymore because this year am all about doing things the unconventional way.

To second chances!

I've been very lucky to have a set of people around me who not only are talented AF but also so good of heart that I can't imagine anyone who would not be thankful and grateful when they're surrounded by such a set of such people. One of my very dear friends finally had her dream come true and trust me, I couldn't be more proud to be her friend. I had to include her achievement in this post because I want to remember this year, this month will all the good things that came to me. In the hope to repair ourselves, we often branch out into the things that we need to do to heal the soul. For me, its always been writing and for her, it's been painting. Everyone has their own way to express their pain, happiness, frustrations, delights and any other emotion under the sun and I am so happy that she finally found her calling and what makes it worthwhile is that I was a part of her big show where her calling was appreciated.

Talent Reloaded

So much love all around this time, and especially by one little cutie that always gives me unconditional love. At times I do become a little difficult and but I never do things unless there is a definitive reason or logic behind them. But still I am thankful to the people who at times tolerate my insanity and be a part of it too. Now, I'm totally a dog person and I think they agree. There is nothing like the love that a pet can offer you, sometimes it's much greater than humans because there isn't any hidden agenda. It's always a nice feeling when people and animals crave your presence. It means you are doing something right with your life. I do wish I could keep a pet of my own someday but till then all the other pets who love me are considered mine.

But no matter how much love you have all around you, you sometimes crave that special intimacy with another human being. Maybe now the time is ripe to give another chance to love. Why block it when it's pouring on me. I believed that I should wait for my heart to heal completely, and then be ready to accept the love that's offered but now since I've already decided am going to do things the way that I never would do, maybe blocking love is something that I should stop doing. Who knows that maybe by making sure my heart is free of a past unrequited love before I move on is not the way to heal it. The reality of loving again after a heartbreak is very tough to accomplish. You know it's like when you go to a restaurant and order your favourite dish, because you've had it and loved it. Your expectations are super high because you've had the taste for it but then when you taste it, it leaves a not so great aftertaste and then you are disappointed because it's not what you hoped it would be. I really don't know if I have the strength to walk this path even though am being nudged to at least give it a try but maybe just maybe, what if it is? Till then I guess I'll just smoke the remnants of love out of my veins or maybe take a chance, maybe not or maybe.... Yes!

Carpe Diem!
