This post is for you...


It’s for that one rainy evening, when we sat on the second floor of McDonald’s at Andheri, trying to figure out our lives…
This post is ‘just for the time being’
This post is for: ‘What would you do for love?’
It’s to that one early morning, when we sat on a beach, half stoned, watching waves crash at our feet, speaking in silence
To the first time, you came to my place, when I skipped office, because I was down with a fever
To the times, when we fought and did not speak for days
And the times, when we made up after the fights
This post is a dedication to all the rickshaw rides in the sleepless city
To all the movies at Fame Adlabs
To all the Home deliveries from Alpha.
To all the alu-fry, daal, and egg-curry and magi, cooked in the 1503 kitchen
This post is a toast to the good times; we have had in Toto’s
And the better times we had in Shack
To our drunken feats in Rio’s
And Midnight buffets in Land’s End
This post is a dedication to the mundane, the everyday and ordinary things in life
and also about finding happiness in those everyday things
This post is about my life, in a lonely city… which was not so lonely after all…
The memories reside in the folds of the pages of old books, in the sudden scent of a known perfume, in a pair of blue suede shoes, a song in my iPod…
This post is an ode to all those memories, silent and unspoken
This post is for you….

@ wtml: Thank you, thank you!!

Well, it's a long story...
And why did I break up... that's a trick question, wtml...

But the most important part is, what i say in the last few lines... about the memories...
They'll never leave me...

To R: our first 'official' date at shack,the weekend 'r' came over, "many more new years together", "the best time of (our) life", surrendering, losing to the 'shantaram' bet (u still owe me for that one btw), office canteens where we planned many plans, that one evening when we danced and music played - one of those magical times, 1503, 1201, west virginia, "i'm leaving on a jet plane", "till kingdom come..", prithvi, local trains, 'someplace else', all 'our' friends, my first evening in mumbai- when i met you again..

To: Love..
