the speaking tree

It's amazing how physical spaces can hold so many memories..

I'm sitting at nizams in indiranagar eating a chicken egg roll and I look to my left and see my ex and me sitting in the car...breaking up.

I remember having a conversation about a project where trees in public spaces would have some sort of device where people could upload their conversations or memories..and others could just 'plug and play'...also like that postcard project online where people put down their most intimate thoughts in a postcard format and post it online anonymously...

I remember having a conversation with someone about how some guy wanted to get married to a girl from another city - so they didn't have to deal with his memories with others in the variuos spaces about town...they could start afresh - correction - he.

nizaams reminds me of college...6 or 7 years back...we lived in ingr back then, and would order frequently from here...

there's a cool breeze now...accompanying a pretentious me

what goes around...

...comes all the way back around...

watched 'salaam-e-ishq' last night :) quite liked it...don't know what the fuss is about. It isn't a 'soul-searching' kinda movie...but an enjoyable enough movie for romantics at heart...

Also reminded me about the time i was alone at home, laying down on the floor, looking upwards and crying...bawling...

That was the first time i was in love...also the first time i broke up....it hurt so much when we broke up that her dad was consoling me over the phone...

Was such a rush to be in love...such a pure high...so simple...i miss being 20 :)...for that matter i miss being 10!

It's so strange na...when you're growing up, you always have an uncle or an aunt or a cousin telling you to 'enjoy your growing years - later you'll only have memories'...and you're like "i want to grow up quickly and drive a car!" or "i want to grow up quickly and go out on my own!"...even what you want is so simple...

Being in love is so simple...then why do we make it so complex? we make it about 'you' and 'me' and 'i want' and 'you want' and so much else that matters so little....when you're just holding hands and kissing under the stars...

i miss being in love...and truly envy you if you're in love right now :)...cuz you should also know that you're really lucky....in that....as you grow older, you grow to be more cynical....and look at love through those eyes of cynicism...and so love eludes you...

it just like lakshmi (the godess of wealth) is considered to be very 'watchful' and 'unpredictable'...if you don't give her enough importance - she'll up and walk off (much like girls in general :)

...in some way...that's where i am. I didn't respect love enough...i just didn't...and regret makes no difference now...cuz that time has past....and it's all my past....and her past....

Pain lingers...

What i wouldn't give to have a lovers spat right now
