||Patla la la la lee o'.. :D


First of all,

A VERY VERY VERY VERRRRYYYY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

This post celebrates the twentieth birthday of my 24x7[except holidays] friend, philosopher and guide, the person who made it all look easy in these two years. A studious bookworm, a faithful friend, an excellent daughter, a lovable sister, a dedicated (ahem!) friend [read into the lines here :P], and a perfect counselor.

I would like you to know that I'm grateful to you - for forgiving my silliness at times, for putting some sense into my brain every now and then, for really listening and understanding all that I always have to say, for trusting me enough to share things closest to you, for just being you! You are one of the very few people who know me, and know me well.

I wish you all the happiness in the world, and everything you deserve, everything you want. I promise I'm gonna be there for you every single time that you need me. 

Apart from that, I also promise to :
  • Bug you by calling you on Gtalk every time I see you online, even if you're sitting right next to me. :P
  • Finish all your chocolates before you even get a chance to as much as open them now that I'm allowed to have chocolates. :P
  • Never stop singing the Patla/Kingfisher theme song. :P
  • Never let you have a peaceful telephone conversation. :P
  • Never stop teasing you to your wits' end. :P
  • Call you fat whenever you ask for my opinion. :P
  • And et cetera. You know, all the usual stuff that I do. :P
And I've kinda run out of things to say right now, so here's your cake, which I'm gonna vasool as soon as I see you.

||Fall, Comfort Shows and Escapism..

As I find myself three seasons into my favourite show again, I involuntarily see the patterns and lack thereof every time I’m inclined to watch it.  Gilmore Girls. If you seek me out on a random day and ask me my favorite show, you may never get the same answer twice. I don’t like being held down to favorites and my mood swings like a chandelier most days. But if you ask me which show I gravitate towards most, this is the one I’ll quote. If you see me talking in weird phrases and references that don’t make sense, this show is the culprit. Having watched it over 7 times in just 3 years, it amazes me how I’ve watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S. way less times even though it might be the show I look to for comfort. If you ask me what I watch when I’m sad, I’d probably say This is Us. Somewhere between the spectrum where one end is F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and the other This is Us, smushed between How I Met Your Mother, Suits, The Office, New Girl, and a number of other shows I like to rewatch, is Gilmore Gi...

Welcome to this stupid post

  It has been a year and a half since I last wrote anything, well, significant. (Coincidentally, also the exact age of my dog.) So I figured it was time to get out all the stupid. Here goes nothing. He’s twenty eight, almost twenty nine. January has always been a difficult month, it’s been the month of departures in his life. Most people are excited about the hope January brings with it, he’s terrifyingly cautious of the signs it brings - of people leaving, of things changing, and basically everything going to shit. His fears are not unfounded, he’s not a vague person like that. He’s seen things happen, he’s felt things hurt and he’s experienced darkness in its complete, mystifying totality. People think he's naïve, his problems self-made but tell that to the spiraling tornado in his head that won't quit screaming. Fast forward to two years later, it's his thirtieth birthday eve. He grew up celebrating and anticipating this month, now he plans to sleep well before midnight....

||Tell me why..

He nudged her to bring her out of her reverie. She was lost again, zoned out, overthinking. "Penny for  your thoughts? Or do you want it to be punny?" She laughed in that way she only laughed with him and broke out of her spell. It was easy being around him, effortless. It didn't matter what she had to do to be near him or how many intolerable yet genius puns she had to endure to hear him giggle at his own damn jokes. Maybe that's exactly why she couldn't describe what about him made her happy. She had been asked that often, a lot, really. And she couldn't figure out how anybody who knew him even the tiniest bit couldn't understand it. It felt natural for her to gravitate towards him because he was it. Not in the epic love story and grand gestures way but just the I-can-just-be-myself-around-you-and-you-put-me-at-ease way. She was wound up and every year of her life and every incident that came along with it had built her up a nice, cosy layered wall tha...
