Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Nupur had told me that the character of Cristina in the film was like mine. And I thought Penelope Cruz played Cristina in the film. So, I went ahead and told this good man that I am curious about the film, cause my friend thinks that my character is like Penelope Cruz's. And, the reaction I got from him was quite weird.

So my curiosity increased. And I started seeing the film. Pen didn't appear till the second half. And all I could think of, was that, boy, I am Cristina (Scarlett Johansson). I am so her.

But, then Pen appeared. Her character was that of a neurotic psychotic woman. Hey, that can't be me. But I somehow related to her too. Boy, now I am really worried!

So Long, Amigos! :)

This Time...

This Time...

I didn't cry...

I tried hard not to let go..

Didn't get my Ego in line..

I spoke my heart out..

Again, I didn't cry.. (Man, I am surprised!)

I am not going to look back..

I will not go back..

It's all kinda cool..

The memories won't haunt...

It's really over..

It's a Closure..

I still didn't cry.. (:O)

It's for sure..

I am not letting it affect me..

I am not shattered..

I am smiling..

I am looking forward..

It's not going to be so hard..

It lasted just 6 months.. (compared to 8 last time!)

I am older.. and thus.. more mature..

This time..

I am Comfortably Numb!

My 24th Birthday and the Weekend that followed!

Ahmed used to say, "Expect Everything!" Now, don't get lost in translation to what this Palestenian-Jordanian meant. He meant, "Don't Expect Anything!"

I made that mistake this year. Someone had made my Birthday so special and beautiful last year, that this year I just took it for granted that it could only get better. But, I was so wrong. 

In many ways, it was sort of better. Well, I don't want to take anything away from my sweet friends. People whom I had never expected to be around were around, whom I had never expected a call from, called.

So, in some ways, Ahmed's theory worked. But I had a nagging feeling all day. For some reason, I wanted my life to just rewind one year. For some reason, I wanted it to be 29th May, 2008. (Well, may be because that would also make me a year younger!!! :D)

It was a Friday this year. And, it was an ideal Birthday. I was partying till 3 am. All of those who mattered were either around, or had called. But why was I waiting for that one Call, or that one SMS? I would never know. I'm sorry, Ahmed. Despite your repeated warnings, somewhere deep down, I am still expecting. May be a little too much. May be a little too unreasonable. But the heart wants what it wants, they say. And I made it happen for me. I forced that SMS to reach my Inbox. Did that make me happy? Surprisingly, no. I made that Call reach my Mobile. Did that make me ecstatic? Nope. I walked those extra steps to reach out. Did it make my Birthday perfect? No.

The weekend followed. I had decided to dedicate it to my Family. I took a trip to Pune, with my cousin, who by the way, does have a perfect life. (Although, I am really happy for him and terribly proud, I am sort of jealous. Ok, I am a horrible person. If you still haven't guessed that already, that is.) I was at home with my Granny, Aunt and Cousin. And felt really Blissful!!

And Sir Joe Pinto thinks I write well, and that I should write more often. So I am writing.

I just want to repeat, that I had a great Birthday! And I love you all. You all are the best! Thanks for being there for me; All my Friends and Family! I am really really Lucky to have you all around. 

And I am also really Thankful for that One SMS and that One Call, I had been waiting for. That One Beer that gave me the Best High!

Thank You One, Thank You All!

So Long, Amigos!
