"Amidst the lofty towers...I seek you both"

Hey there...

Sorry was quite busy with exams...hence haven't been blogging much...just wrote my second last paper yesterday.....awaiting the last one...or should I say the dreaded one???

Its a lazy Saturday afternoon...I am in an oversized t-shirt, track pants and a pair of socks..having hot chocolate...(underlying hint anyone???)..but more of that later...:-)

Yesterday after the paper, I was sitting with prachi at our "favorite spot" and was observing the crowded corridors...densely flocked "H-cafe" quad and the jam-packed parking area...what struck me most was the lofty buildings...the buildings where we have our classes...the buildings that nest the hostelers...and they stood still...there was an innate silence encompassing them, amidst all the noise!!! Who knows what these buildings have witnessed...???

I wondered how could they be so still? Except for some destructive prank played by nature, or man, they never move! something about it was unsettling but also so familiar. It was similar to the void, I feel at times...We all have people around us...yet we sometimes feel lonely! Our conscious is never stirred unless we encounter a personal or professional turbulence...just like these lofty towers.......how closely do we associate with our emotions? and why do people ignore feelings as " emotional gibberish"...I guess I would never know and may be thats why the void in me keeps stirring...and there is this emotional silence, all around; except when I am with my Mannu darling aka Manpreet or prachi!!!

Its not only the skycrapers that touch me deep...its also the conversations...I have with my these two gal pals...I know I am gonna miss them,after my college is over or when we are 40, looking down the memory lane!!! These talks are not necessarily "girl talk"...they can be anything under the sun...or nothing at all!!...surprised??...sometimes, we just sit silent and melt into the surroundings... when its time to move our lazy butts...I realise I had the most amazing conversation with them! I can share with them my darket secrets without feeling guilty or without the fear of being judged! What amazes me more is how they spell out each word I think! It feels great to be "understood" for a change....

God knows what future beholds....where we are placed...but I know whenever I reminisce about "young days" I would remember these conversations and the lofty buildings...I would remember the time spent with mannu at CCD or Burp or PizzA Hut and with prachi in college...I would remember the times we cried and laughed...the moments spent together...

The bitterness that fills my heart at times about the "wrong doings" or "misunderstandings"that i have been through...I know it will be long forgotten and only these sweet memories would reside....

On one such day, while sharing a laugh...I thought of this and told prachi..

"Amidst the lofty towers..I seek you both"

I'll keep this as the title of my post!!! ....
