Friendly Tweeting For a Lifetime Of Memories

Ok let me make myself clear here.. apart from maybe Facebook and Twitter.. and if you call Tumblr and this blog a social networking site, i absolutely dispise social networking... It's shit and justa way for people who have nothing better to do to waste time.. and frankly in my view has made everybody lazy to communicate.

But I'm not here to talk about the ill effects of social media rather to give you probably the only boon i see out of it and she has a name: Shruti :)

Ok so let me tell you about how we came to know each other. Well it was because of my then most favorite hindi show "Geet." We both adored the serial a lot and for major part of the initial time i knew her that's all i remember talking about. then we both found out we have similar love for SRK and RK (Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.. if you dont know who they are then whatever.... u live under a rock) ... Then also for our love for "Wasting Time." Most of time we are always "Bored" and doing "Nothing." LOL... Then i think after some time we really started connecting on practically all levels imaginable and i really loved messaging her..

To describe her... well she is a naughty, sweet, caring, fun and overall "masti" type girl. I did not know that i could trust someomne in a span of a few months and moreover through a social networking site. But she is just so easy to talk to that whatever i feel like saying i can just tell her... I think its because she has such a positive attitude that i like her so much... considering i am so negative and cynical most of the time.

We message each other so many times a day that i have lost count.. and its never boring.. even if it feels like the conversation is coming to an end i want to continue it because it is so much fun... There is just something so caring and non judgemental about her that i dont ever want to stop talking...

I hope to meet her soon when i get to delhi and i know we will have the best time ever...

An Awesome Day Spent With Pinache

Lol I could not for the life of me think of a quirky slogan for today. But man it was so awesome. Today I have been out practically the whole day and it was an adventure of sorts. Because, today a lot of things have happened for the first time. I will talk about that in a later post. Since the title of this “blog” is ”FRIENDS” I will tell you about the day I spent with the most nicest and truest people I have ever had the chance of meeting.

Now in other posts I have given a very negative sort of portrayal of friends which might make you think I do not have very many good friends. Well the reason of that is treason on the hands of a very close mate. That relation has died the most silent death I could have ever imagined, and honest to God I thought it was for keeps. But, Hey! You win some and you lose some right.

I’m in the winning side with having being blessed with a friend like Divya. Now I’m not going to sound fake and corny by saying I love her to death and all. But I would like to say that I would love this girl for many many years to come. I do not know a lot of people who would be willing to put up with all my crap, but she can. She is extremely genuine and her sheer gullible nature makes me laugh so hard. She just has this simple and grounded attitude that could pull in anyone one. Slightly reserved and a bit orthodox she definitely has been raised well.. for that I should give full marks to aunty and uncle.

I have known her for the past 5 years now and we are still very close and are things I can only tell her just because I know I would never be judged no matter what. Or so it seems for the present. It’s not like I am a serial killer or something. So when I do something that steep then I will know for sure.

I do not see her often. We don’t call each other for months together. Maybe a forward here or there but whenever I feel like it I can just pick up the call and talk to her without looking at the time in my watch. Ok for instance yesterday I could not sleep and for some reason I had a nagging feeling inside me which I still cannot figure out. So I called her up and I think it was 11:00 pm. In all her grogginess she picked up the call and I knew then that she was asleep. So I quickly apologised and said I would call her back in the morning. But she told me that no way she wants me to put the call down and that she was not sleeping but was merely lying on the bed. She isn’t a very good liar. And then we started speaking about things which may seem absolutely uninteresting to a lot of people.. but mind you it was top priority for us. LOL

I think we hung up at around 1 or 2 in the morning and I did not even realize I had kept her up so late. But she did not yawn or scuff even for a second. The minute I hung up the call I felt relaxed and went to sleep like a baby.

This is just the latest instance but there have been many other times when I have done this. So it’s not hard to see why she is one of the closest friends I have and I consider myself so lucky. Today we saw the last film of the Harry Potter Franchise and I would not have enjoyed the film with anybody else.

So this is just a Thank You for being such a good friend to me always. People have 4 am friends I have a 11pm friend and I could not be happier :)

Love you so much Bony :)

The Thing About Friends

Now le me tell you that even if you have ONE and yes i mean ONE good friend you should consider yourself lucky. Because dammit they are one hard thing to find. In my life of 20 or so years i have narrowed the list to the types of friends one has. Let me list them to you in no particular order:

1.) The "I'm Here Because I have To Be and I will dump your Ass Once My time with you is over" Friend: You have those.. Dont lie to yourself. You know it. If you are so clueless as to who these friends are then let me summarise. A *above mentioned* friend is one who is your friend upto the time they "need" you. I have quoted that because they think they need you but they actually dont. These friends will come to you and go by you just as fast cause they are not interested in maintaining any real relationship. They are just visiting your temple of friendship and what they like is not the religion but hpw the temple looks. To be honest these friends do not bother me much because they are gone in spilt seconds and they don't really mean much because at the end of the day you never really liked them either. For example.. If your best friend is not able to come for whatever reason to a gathering of sorts and you do not know anyone else there you talk to someone who you don't really like but you do just because you dont want to seem like the fool without any friend. Gathering over.. bye bye friend.

2.) The "I hope you were the same person i knew 10/5 years ago" friend: These are basically very good friends from your childhood but since moving and growing you have shifted apart but yet wish you were still as good friends as you were before. You do keep in touch with them but not as often and just barely know the person they are now. Having said that you are still reminiscent about the time shared. You do feel hurt that things are not the same. But you hope that one day you will be on the same playing field as them one day and that they will be wearing the same jersey.

3.) The Online Friend: Well mixed emotions here to be honest really. I have a few really good online friends whom i would love to meet in person one day. To summarize an online friend is a person you have met online through a social networking medium and like/share the same interests and they just somehow seem cooler than "real" people. To be completely honest with you i do not know how far people actually take these friendships cause i dont really have one where i would be ever so devastated had one of these friends broken up with me. I would feel bad but i would not go into depression or anything... Having said this i would like to exclude a few names here which i wont mention but i sincerely hope they know who they are.

Ah bored and sleepy now i will continue the list later......

Fun In The Sun

Literally today was soo hot and soo tiring.... hmm i dont know hw im updating my blog cause im soo sleepy. Today im goin to introduce you to our extended "family." Lets see there is Armaan(marley), Anish, Sambit and Udit.

So Simon's a.k.a rini's bday is comin up on 15th, and i decide to gift her a trip to "innovative film city." Now i shud tell u the place needs a revamp but it's a pretty cool place but highly pricey. So aneway we all go there. It's abt 2hrs frm our coll. We have awesome fun in the car ride..... Marley was goin on troubling Simon.. and it's soo hilarious that i cant even begin to explain how funny it is. Anish goes and buys a gol guppa just b4 we get into the car... that to green color (ewww!!!). And all his tongue and lips turn green. Udit poor guy was feelin a bit left out stittin next to the driver. Iyshu and me laughing it up to sunset glory.
So we Finally arrive after trecherous traffic. And its scorching hot!! Phwww!!!!
But i was soo ecited that i coudn care less.

So we Buy the ticket and go on to our "Fun Hunt"..... we first enter this adaption of what theaters look like in the good old days. The movie showing was a 10 min version Of sholay.... Which comprised of the song "Yeh Dosti" (i must say it was very appropriate song) then they shoed the famous "gabbar" scene.. so familiar with the words we were mouthing the words and having a blast of a time. I think the guys were a bit bit dissapointed nt to see Basanti. Ha!!!

Then after that we went to the Dino Park. That also was pretty cool and awesome. We clicked pics with all the dinosaurs. Udit as usual giving funny and weird pics. Then somethin soo funny happened. Simon says she is a veggie but eats fish and other seafood. So when we are in dino park we are standing on a bridge and udit shows rini this big black fish(i think it was a catfish) and it had whiskers or somethin like that... and he asked rini "kya tum yeh fish khati ho? Dekh uska mooch bhi hai" it was soo funny we all started laughing soo badly especially marley. and then we continued and had a great time there.

Next was the "haunted house" which was umm ok nt that scary. I thought the outside of the house looked scarier. And as usual rini and me strtd screaming fr stupid things which weren even scary. We were parched by the time we came out and had ourselves some coke

There is more stuff i have to update u with. But im sleepy and before i fall asleep on the comp...
Bye for now

Gone To The Dogs

I have been anticipating the movie "Marley and Me" from a very long time. I also read the book but not entirely. And I am a hardcore dog lover and wud definately keep one if it was not for my Grandmother telling me that i can't keep a dog "because i shud learn how to look after myself first. And that I am the pup in the house and she can't manage another." But I WANT A DOG. So since i cant have one myself i satisy this need by playing with other ppl's dog (MOH) and seeing movies like this. So the Premier day for "MnM" was on Friday 6th Feb. And i was fied on seein it on the first day. SO the first thing i did was invite my good friend and fellow dog lover Armaan to come and watch the movie with me. He very happily agreed, Then took the offer to my other friends Iyshu and Rini abt the film and though skeptical at first they both agreed (i threatend to hit them if they dint comply). SO the plan was made and the time was set. But u must have heard the sayin "things nver go as planned". So we went to PVR and gt the tickets in GOLD CLASS. But Armaan cudn be there becoz he wanted to go fr some other film( some dog lover huh!!! no he is, he really is). So the Three Chipsters went to see the film.

I could not believe what a great movie it was and how Marley resembled by dog Simba. he too was a Labrador and just as naughty. I laughed through all the rough times the family went thru with the "worst dog ever." I cried a lot when Marley was put to sleep. I was soo overwhelmed at that moment bcoz i realised that my dog too must has suffered soo much before we put him to sleep. But not once did he cry or make us feel that we were only harming him more by keepin him alive in that condition. I couldnt go to the vet that day when simba was being put to sleep, becoz i was too overwhelmed with my grief, which i regret everyday of my life. I should have been there with him on his last day holding his paw and giving him words of comfort and telling him that he was the best dog ive ever had and ever will and that he was the most special thing to me in the whole world... and that i could not imagine my life without my best frnd. i wanted to hold him for the last time and apologize fr all the times i shouted at him. i wanted to thank him for all the times he helped me thru tough times and greeted me everytime i walked thru the door and push me to the ground and lick me until i thought i was dead and thank him fr the undying love he showered on me that no human cud ever do. and tell him that i wud miss him a lot and i loved him soo much.

So my take on the movie 'MnM' is that u must watch it.. u will understand there is no greater bond than between a man and his dog....

The First one

Now many ppl may b wonderin what the hell does "chippies" mean. Must say it is difficult to explain. Let me first tell you how this name came upon. What u guys shud knw is that we are all Degree students but still lil kids at heart who love watchin cartoons, playing around and doing the stuff u wouldn expect from Teenagers. Yes we too like normal teenager whine abt immaterial stuff (which seems very important ryt now!!!), we bitch abt our classmates and basically think everything in the world happens only to us(one person atleast). We fight, we Make up and basically are the best of Friends... ok fine have gone completely off the topic. So yah as u knw we are kids at heart.. and one day we came upon a poster of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (atleast some ppl will be familiar with this). So then i buy the dvd (which costs 699/-) and also got a cute lil plush toy with it (the toy of theodore which i no longer have). So i gave the cd to Theodore (thats the nicname of iyshu who is just like theodore or atleast tries to b). She watched it and instantly fell n love with it. Simultaneously I, Alvin (niki), watched it and felt a similar connection. Last to watch it was the "smartest one" or in hercase the most "hardworking one", Simon(rini), who also loved it. I think somewhere we all Found an amazing connection with the three protagonists, Alvin, Simon and Theodore. And so rose the living forms of the Chipmunk clan..... US!!!!!.......


Lets start with Simon. In the film he is the smartest and the most rationalist one. He gets the Chippies out of trouble and helps them escape in the end. In real life too our Simon is just like that. she is the most rationalist and understanding of the lot. She always pulls us out of rough situations... and helps us through troubled times. I cant tell u how helpful that is when u are at my age.

Theodore ois the smallest and cutest one.. real life theodore is always that way. Short and sweet!! She is funny and lovable.
