August 15

There is a first time for everything.
For the first time in my 23 year old life I am working on Independence Day.
And strangely enough I realise it's value much more today than any other time.

Happy Independence Day to all Indians Worldwide.

My First crush

Ok..
I wake up at quarter past six in the chilly winter morning.. yes winter.. i live in the southern hemisphere.. way down under :)

I saw some thing this morning.. not good or bad.. just some thing..

I saw a public display of rather passionate affection between two females.
I don't think it was strange or weird. I would say it's different.

I just continued walking at my pace but my thoughts had quickened their pace...

And after about 5 minutes my thoughts drifted to the first time my cheeks turned pink because of the blush of the presence of some one.... till now he is the only one I have met.. well we did not exactly meet we were present in the same room.. and many such rooms later but I never could utter a word.. which is very unusual for me..

he was a year senior.. in a different school.. but his aunt was my mum's designer at that time.. it was on one such very embarrassing measurement session ( my eldest cousin was getting married and after a lot persuasion.. I had finally given to the thought of wearing some thing indian) that i had seen him... just glanced at him.. i felt like a fool with the measuring tape all around me and the lady telling my mum that i need some fat on my bones..

After that I saw him a couple of times .. as we lived in the same area.. he lived a few blocks away.. A few years later we spoke and it was nice talking to the guy who made me realise what it is like to go weak in the knees .. :)
