My two litchi pies!

It's a criminal offense to write only about your crushes.

No really. I blog about people who interest me, who are unusual, who see me as me, and above all who, I know will part ways with my life and I wish to always hold them back through my blogs.

But there are certain people- like the ones' I am going to talk about in this blog, whom I know I will not let them go away from me at any cost and is mutual.

My two litchi pies..... Pavithra and Prarthana.
They both work for social sector and I help them in ways I can :) 

Pavithra --->
A tall, sleek girl, with hair that falls just above her shoulders, Pavitra would seem like a model, if she had more than THE 500 gm of flesh.I don't exactly remember the first time we met which surprises me even today. Even now when I think of her and close my eyes, her pretty face sits atop her shoulders with a brilliant smile. Her body curves to form a figure any male would fight for. But there is more to her than beauty, a wonderful human being. She scolds me that I don't call her back. You never know, may be I don't call you because I want to get scolded by you. I feel like a small lad with folded hands staring at the ruler you are pointing at me, while you scold. I wish I could bottle this feeling.

Prarthana --->
When I first met her, I was overly impressed. Her energy, her warmth, her enthusiasm, her way of showing love and care, her intentions, her thoughts, her talking everything everything inspired me. For a second, I wished, I were her. " Duuh! me and her? ",the very next second, I realized. I thought, I could call her a role model. She indeed is one for many more. When she is around, I feel secured. Life doesn't scare me anymore.  She is a kind of person, I can never lie to.  She is ever ready to help and doesn't care about self.


When they are around, life seems more fun. By just being themselves, they have the ability to lift my spirits.
They seem to be enlightened on all aspects of life, such as family and relationships, and find it easy to relate to almost anyone or anything. Through everything they still have time to have fun. There is love hidden behind any of their gestures.

Many times I am mystified by their ability to just sit and listen to a poor soul like me pour out my mind, but they see it as an opportunity to let me unload. They love to listen to my problems and interject advice that could help me through my struggles. Many times I think I could not live without them, and honestly I don't think I could.

Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end, and somewhere in the middle we became the best of friends. You girls have a very special place in my heart. I will love and cherish your very presence in my life always.

Love you sooooo much girls. Thanks for being there :) Always :) 
Numina happy hain kyun ki, Numinaa, Pathaa and Pavitaaaa are beeest friends :)
Best friends by heart and more than that by soul... soul... soul... :)

twinkle twinkle a star called BANE

He picked a cigarette and lit it.
I watched his chest rise and fall again as he took a deep drag off it and blew a large, blue, hazy cloud of smoke into the air. 

His face is chiseled like a finely-carved Michelangelo Buonarroti's statue. A perfectly symmetrical nose, a pair of lips which ends gracefully in a cute smirk at the corners. And eyes, perfect radiant pair of eyes, which gleamed with delight and carried the vigour of youth every-time I saw them. They shone brightly like two black marbles dipped in milky pools.

I also adore him for his brownish-black hair. It is most of the time jumbled and casually- very rarely, neat. His crescent-of-moon eyebrows were thin and narrow.  I love the way he walks with a manly grace without skipping a beat.


My heart skips a beat when he walks in, the tall, dark (- hair color), handsome, with a sun kissed complexion mesmerizes me with every smile of his. His talks, is like a sweet lullaby to my ears.

His personality is complex to understand.I never made an attempt to. All I know is, he eats good, goes to gym, likes watching movies and teases me :P But I always feel special when he talks to me and other girls turn green with envy.

As for me, he is like a colorful rain-bow in my sunny, boring work place.He is like a storm, come and gone. I share my problems with him only to realize at the end of it, I would have almost forgotten what was bothering me.

Its a feeling of relief, as if I have buried all my problems in my back-yard that minute and am flying in the clear-PURPLE sky :)

A special friend....

My life has become... so... normal.

NORMAL!

That kept me ponder. Having a disability - special ability, is what I prefer calling it, can affect in many aspects of a person's life.

Waking up, taking bath, dressing up, at work place, boarding a public transport, buying things, at home, cooking, could be as simple as calling somebody. For all those, including me, who think their lives are just normal... Take a moment.
Imagine.
Think.
Its scary.

Personally if I were one, I would probably prefer sitting at home and have someone take care of me. :P
But this is not really the case. Lets find out from my experience with a special friend of mine.


Getting to know him...
Manii ( Name changed ) , a 26 year old lean, tall, malyali. I should improve on my skills to describe a person. He is deaf and dumb and I presume he can hear the loudest of noise, feebly. Going out with him was adventurous and as fresh as it is the first time. He is a great company and is passionate about so many things in life. High levels of patience he had. I used to ask him the sign for the same set of words every time I meet him. He always used to correct me with a grin and of-course a light, gentle pat on my head , showing affection.

With my experience spending time with him, a couple of things to keep in mind when you have such a friend.
1) Do not call them on their mobile.
     The first time we decided to meet for lunch at McDs. I reached the place and totally forgot about his abilities. I called him over his phone to know where he was. He cut the call once. I called again. How Stupid! Don't do that.
2) Do not say the place is noicy.
    We were in Barista. The table next to us, were not keeping their conversation to themselves. I showed him in sign language. Can we go to a more quieter place? I did not realize until I could see his face. I am sorry Mani.
3) Do not talk about subtitles if you don't like them.
    Discussion about movies is quiet common. So we did not miss out on that part too. While discussing, since I hate subtitles, I showed him in sign-language, "sub-titles are annoying!". I was also celebrating learning "annoying" in sign-language. But I had already done the damage. Sorry again Mani.
4) Do not speak about his speech.
    As I have mentioned earlier, Mani was a very passionate pal. He used to ask me tips to improve his English. I got him some grammar books too. I once told him "Your English is good. You can read news paper and listen to news to improve!". Shooot!! Not again :(
5) You make sure you explain the joke to him.
    He used to come to a lot of events - NGO oriented. He was always keen to help. You are talking to a bunch of friends who are normal and suddenly someone cracks a joke and guuushh!! everybody laughs. Mani just smiles looking at us laugh. And he just sighs, what is it? I had tears the first time I saw him do this. We must always make sure they take part in the group and not feel left out.
6) Do not under-estimate them from your words.
    He always wanted to ride my two-wheeler. I used to sign him, "if horn how you listen!". That's rude. I should be penalized for being so brutal. I changed it. I later on used to sign him, "my breaks no work."
7) Do not be surprised if they give you, their phone number.
     Of-course they can text! I asked him, "you mobile why?". Do not. It might not matter to us. But it does for them. Big time.
8)  And last more importantly, do not feel sorry about their disability but feel sorry for yourself when you make them feel disabled.

I suggest each one of you to have such a friend. You will be utterly amused :) As I am :)
