Those light-hearted banter

He and she went for a dinner. The venue was located at a very posh locality filled with mighty lush green trees which also bore creepers on them.

They had parked their two wheeler infront of the dinner venue and after dinner, they decided to  walk in those lane. 

They both talked, laughed,  shared pains and other life's events and wondered what still kept them together and how.

At one point, after a couple of rounds of walk, they decide to have filter coffee and were suppose to head back homes.

He: Oh! We should have taken the vehicle along so that we din't had to go back.

She: Yeah...I thought you intentionally left it there. And I am already tired....

He: Don't worry, we will have coffee, you wait here and I will walk back to get the vehicle.

She: No, I will also come along....

He: But you said you are tired?

She (out of nowhere): Yes, But I am scared - Don't know when it would be my last time with you...

He (was a few steps ahead, stopped and walked back towards her & Took her in his embrace.): But you know it...my only wish is to die your Lap.

She (with tears in eyes, burst out laughing) : And then I will die with that itself....then and there! 🤣. the End!

Both: laughed

Childhood friends are a blessing

 

I wanted to write about a music that I am trying to humm all thru the day and have been listening to it in loop past few days.

It's a specific piece of music from the performance called Chanakya by Rishabh Rikiram Sharma; when listening to it, my heart starts to beat fast and it feels as if a certain energy is pulling me up ...

I then came to terms with my own limitations where I was making futile efforts to describe how I feel about it...the music touches the soul and can only be experienced. 

Well, then I came back to my reality and sitting at the terrace, underneath the open sky staring at the full moon which then went hiding behind the loaded clouded, I thought let me pick one picture from my gallery and write something about it. 

I closed my eyes and scrolled thru the pictures, and this one (above) is where it stopped at. I am clueless about what to write. All I know is, childhood friendship and growing together thru thick and thin of life, navigating thru friend's life changes (eg. marriage, kids, loosing a parent etc), getting to know extended relationships with families and feeling a part of it all is a reward that comes with such friendships. 

This is one such picture where I cut short usual family time when I was visiting home and choose to spend a day with my friend and her in-laws. We laughed, hugged, chatted, played games with the kiddo, interacted over tea took bike rides around the lanes (like how we use to do in childhood), hogged on the most unhealthy street food and laughed about it, we even prepared for a surprise where I became the delivery girl 🎁who would ship  a birthday gift surprise for someone from my Friends family - also the bride-to-be and make her last Birthday special for her at her parental home :). Indeed we  made some beautiful memories...
