The connect

A guy once commented, “You are so talkative !’’

Although I displayed the niceties when texting back with a smiley- because aren’t those emoji a saviour for conversations like this!.. I had a grumpy face saying ‘how dare he’ for the next whole minute.

I wondered why my father laughed when he said, 'Gargi you started talking at tender age of 8 months’ and then my mother would add, ‘ and hasn’t stopped talking yet'. My non-stop banter is something, I guess the only thing they miss when I am not home..and believe are in much peace

Am I apologetic for talking? Hell, no! I stopped saying sorry for what I am , early this year..

Though I appear to be an extrovert, my friend circle is very limited. Perhaps they are the only people who like me despite all my habits- even if it is as bad as being a shopaholic

Anuja and Charu ,two of my precious gems in this close circle, have been my friends since college. When the world was busy dating or attending lectures- we were eating at different food outlets, heading all the extra-curricular activities in college.. Our friendship only developed since that day.. We fought, we cried, we laughed, we danced and we did all the drama that happens when three strong minds come together

If you think we meet daily, talk daily and hang out often, that’s incorrect. That's so rare and which is why it is so precious..  You really don't need the social media to connect to your dear ones... Its but a natural process..

These days are conversations are so much about adulting and being all responsible, we often laugh and wonder how the past few years have changed us,.

While so many of our ‘planned meetings’ have got cancelled, majorly because I overslept,  I think we’ve been with each other through days, where just talking to someone was of paramount importance!

I don’t think any of us were or  rather still are truly capable of taking the right and effective decisions or directions, yet, the benefit of having each other was that we could decode our own problems while just casually narrating our story..All it help was having that one person at other end who was not going to judge you..

Funny isn't it? All we need is some calm, to shoo away that hysteria, the root cause of all problems.Now whether that calmness is derived through internal thought process or via a comforting shoulder, doesn't matter.  The solution that seemed hazy in the beginning appears like the bright sun rays on a foggy winter morning! 

All you need is to believe in you and have people who equally believe in you...

Cheers to both these women for being the sun rays in my winter fog, for  helping me decode me! 

P.S : Lets plan  &  meet ( pun intended).. Lots of love
