My Little World of FRIENDS
Life wouldn’t be complete without Friends.
They say, if at any stage in life, you can count your friends and complete one hand of counting, you’re among the luckiest.
At this stage, I think I am :)
This is my small world of people who matter, and people who I’ll be there for, come what may…
(P.S.- The order of names doesn’t matter. They’re all VIPS in my life :))
Ankeeta
We met as strangers, but became best friends,
Without her, my laughs, joys, and fun would surely end.
She stops my tears even before I cry,
We’re perfectly tuned with nothing between us – no how, what, when or why. :)
Chanda
She’s as crazy or crazier than I am,
When we’re together, of the world we give a damn,
She puts up with my tantrums,
And takes away the blues from my life’s humdrum. :)
Punkuj
When we need each other the most,
Whether to cry or raise a toast,
We know we’re gonna be there,
To show our love and utmost care. :)
Booby
The cutest guy I’ve ever met,
Booby hai, toh life’s set!
He’s troublesome, annoying and moody,
But when I see him, all I wanna say is ‘I ‘Lou’ you, Booby!’ :)
Priya
She’s pretty Piyu,
Who knows how to be there for you,
Her drunk times I’ll always miss,
Coz only then does she allow me a kiss :P
Mangu
We go back to days of school,
From the wannabe times to the cool,
I don’t need to tell her I Love her,
Coz she knows in my life her place can’t be taken by another. :)
Mann
We have memories of laughs, tears and school fights,
But what I miss more is our sleep-over nights,
Talking till we fall asleep…,
Mann, you’re a friend for keeps. :)
Shalina
She knows me inside-out,
Knows when I need a hug, a smile or a shout,
The best dancing partners we are,
And we’ll always love each other, no matter how near or far. :)
Soni
We’ve had fun and fights,
But She knows how to make me feel alright,
I love her for how crazy she is,
And for me she’ll always be an older sis. :)
Nihar
Don’t know where to start,
He has a special place in my heart,
He’s been a true friend,
And I know we’ll stick around for each other right till the end. :)
Amrita
She’s my Mom Part Two,
Always worried about what I’m doing and will do,
I hardly show her how much I care,
But she knows that when she needs me, I’ll drop everything and be there. :)
Mum
A mum less, a friend more,
She’s taught me how to trust, love and adore,
She can’t stand my tears,
She fights against all my fears,
She wishes the best for me,
Really, My all-time best friend is she. :)
Neerav
Sometimes, I wonder how I lived before he walked into my life,
He’s troubled me, said and done things that cut like a knife,
But he’s stolen my heart,
And in my thoughts, dreams and prayers, we’ll never be apart,
I never knew I could love this way,
Make someone my world, my breath, my night, my day,
No matter with who we are, when and where,
He knows I’ll always be right there,
And whether it’s this or the next lifetime,
I’ll always love him like he’s only mine… :)

Coming to Australia...
Life, as I knew it, changed as the plane landed in Brisbane. This little girl grew up.
There was no Mom to put up with my tantrums; no Dad to raise a brow at my skimpy dresses; no Ankeeta to doll up and party with; no bitching partners – Ankee and Chanda and Booby and Priya and Amrita and Shalina to have a session with; no Mowgli to hug and sleep with; no Neerav to love, hug, fight with and kiss.
There was no car to drive; no extra money to splurge; no job; no absolutely fantastic colleagues; no sign of anything remotely PUNE!
But, I’ve survived. I’ve matured. I’ve learnt. And, I’ve managed just fine.
- I live with the BEST Ozzie family in town. They love me, I love them.
- I’ve made new friends. Some crazy, some sane.
- I’ve learnt how to clean my room, do my laundry, and cook a bit (just a bit :P).
- I’ve learnt how to live without the car. Yes, I’ve learnt how to walk!
- I’ve started attending college. Finally, I’m experiencing the life of a student!
- I’ve realised the value of money! Yes, I’m still jobless and quite broke.
- I’ve understood the importance of keeping in touch with friends!
- I’ve realised what true love is and I feel amazingly lucky to have felt it.
- I’ve learnt that love hurts only if you let it, so now I love without expecting it back; I love without wanting to own; I love only because I want to love.
But more than all this,
Coming here to the Gold Coast, living the life of an international student, and understanding the different culture, has made me realise one important thing:
That I’m blessed.
Blessed because I have wonderful parents, who I know, will do anything to see me smile; Blessed because I have friends, who, though so far away, still care so bloody much; Blessed because I have a family to go back to; and Blessed because I know the One up there is with me through every step I take, every smile I smile, every tear I cry and every breath I breathe.
Blessed because I value Life more – what I had, what I have and what I can have.
And, Blessed because I know I’m on the right path, chasing my dreams.
Love...
For him who I'll love forever.
I asked how you are,
They said you’re just fine,
I smiled that hour,
Even though you’re no longer mine…
I looked at our pictures,
Perfect love, perfect lovers,
And a tear rolled down,
Because you’re no longer around…
I picked up my phone,
To tell you I feel so alone,
But I changed my mind,
It’s too late to rewind…
I saw you online,
Your picture, your wide smile,
I wrote I love you,
And deleted it before I could ask if you do too…
I closed my eyes,
And there my thoughts, feelings and love remained undisguised,
I held you close,
I no longer felt morose,
I kissed your lips,
My heart did a skip,
Over and over, I said I love you,
And I cried with joy as I thought I heard you say ‘Love, me too…’
Always yours.

For him who I'll love forever.
People whiz past,
But time stands still…
I open my eyes,
And I still see you,
In the haze,
In the rush,
It’s always only you…
I said I don’t need you,
I said I’ll be fine,
I said I’m going to let go,
It’s only a matter of time,
I led you to believe I’m moving on,
I led you to believe I’m waking up to a new dawn,
But my heart won’t stop aching,
How can it, when it’s still with you?
My dreams won’t stop breaking,
How can they, when they don’t come true?
I reach out sometimes,
But I can’t feel you,
You’ve left me…again,
And I cry when I’m alone,
I hold my breath,
I clench my hands,
But nothing changes;
We still remain separated by the sands…
The morning comes, and I tell it to wake you gently,
I breathe in the air, and send love to surround you,
I feel happy and wish you’re never sad again,
I feel lonely, and pray you’re never alone…
When night falls, I feel scared,
What if I can’t make it through?
What if the tears don’t stop?
But, just before falling asleep,
I say a silent prayer,
If tomorrow never comes,
You should always have the armour of my love and care…
But if the sun does rise,
And I see a new day,
You should know that I’ll think of you in the same way,
That you’re second to none,
That you’ll always be THE one,
That I miss you every second that ticks by,
That I’ll love you even through my last breath as I die…
Always, always yours.

If...
If words could tell you how I feel,
I’d write and never stop;
If smiles could tell you I’ll be true,
I’d smile till the very end;
If tears could tell you I need you,
I’d cry myself to death;
If music could tell you I love you,
I’d sing till my voice runs dry;
If dance could prove you make me happy,
I’d dance my life away;
If my eyes could show you that you’re all I want,
I’d never close them even for a second;
If my heart could whisper I love you to you,
I’d never let it stop beating…
…Because, when I write it’s only for you, when I smile it’s only for you, when I cry it’s only for you, when I sing it’s only for you, when I dance it’s only for you, when my eyes look for someone it’s you, and when my heart beats it’s always going to be only for you…
Always yours.

Always yours.
