The "Dark Energy" in my life! Sounds crazy to me, sounds crazy to most...
Dark Energy, the invisible energy, of my life have been the people around - they make me, they define me. Very few have contributed but have contributed way too much. Most of us don't realize how much each can influence us when they are around and only when they are gone do we realize that... thats not really the case in my life. At least a few times..
I wrote the above lines a long while back here and I dozed off. Today I am sitting on the terrace on a cool night with people around me. People brought to life after a long conversation with a friend.
Only two people... once eating ice cream, once searching for books in Higginbothams, once sitting in the robotics lab and preparing presentations, once sitting as strangers across a table and having lunch, once staying awake through out the night chatting, once writing letters, once sleeping while typing a message, once in a group to have coffee, once walking past fearing that it might be last, once facing each other with a 'how-come' face, once a pleasant talk, once a violent silence, once a missing link, once at the British council, once at the Onam celebrations, once at Hot Chips, once at Dhabba Express, once on road post mid-night in search of food..
Well, that is several times. 'Chikku' and myself have been friends for a short span (relatively) and have been great friends. Sometimes together and sometimes alone, I did enjoy a different friend in her. Starting from the 'arrogant' fellow as she mentioned me to a good friend now, we have moved on and on. I once feared that I would never be able to meet her again to a reassuring feeling that I can always meet her, every moment is a relishing memory in itself. Many of which I just can't explain. Chikku is surely a special friend. Why?
I don't know..
Not everyday we get good friends and not every friendship is special. Very true! We just need to care to hold them together...
