At Peace...

Watching the world go by us a very pleasant thing. People drive past, frantic conversations are held, lovers fight and make up. It seems ironic that when Mumbai is at its busiest, you fell this calm and contentment within you which just makes you smile. 

Although I love coming home with a group of people gossiping away, I love the solitary journeys home from college. And I love it best with my IPod Playlist ringing in my ears. The sounds of the vendors selling their paraphernalia, the women fighting over places to sit, the announcer's voice all cease to exist and at that moment everything seems perfect. The sun is brighter, the people more friendlier, the journey much more pleasant. 

It isnt often that I feel like this. So happy with things. So not bothered by mundane things. Is it post exam feelings or am I relishing it more because I'm aware that I have another exam coming up so I value to the time more?? Its anyone's guess really.

And this has been a lovely relaxing week. There has been no pressures. No responsibilities. No "need" to do anything other than enjoy myself and recuperate. My mind is at peace.

Its like the rain outside my window at the moment. A period of coolness, of tranquility after days of intense heat. 

Can life get any better?

Wine, Bicycles And A Lasting Friendship

To Sneha (aka Gerald),

On your 20^th birthday today , since I cant celebrate with you at your home, here's wishing you in person due to a social evil called exams, I just want to say what I would,  if I was there.

Well, first of all, Happy Birthday, Sham!! You’re finally 20!! Almost two months behind me... I will finally not feel so much older. From our JC years to now, its been 5 years with our ups and downs. With periods of hate ( I can’t believe it now , can you??) and periods of awesomeness uninterrupted.

 I want this year to be the best ever for you. May you rock your exams the same way as Laura Marling churns out songs. . May every day be as amazing as a buttered croissant (which we shall eat very soon!) May every person appreciate your awesomeness ( if they don’t already do) and hope  the rolling 20’s give you whatever you deserve.

Just a small dose to what I feel like saying… The Muse has struck.

Wine filled days, heartfelt banter,

Bicycle Roads, Mumbai Nights.

Cups of Coffee, Insatiable reading,

Exotic food, Sinful desserts.

Period Movies, Mr. Knightley,

Indie Music, Charcoal Painting,

Imaginary Avatars, Brilliant Accents,

Lots of fun , laughter galore.

Ex- train friend, forever best friend,

My twin soul, Partner in ideals,

Introducer to RA and NC,

Hope you will enjoy being 20!!

Well, the above words don’t say much about my relationship with my best friend ever. It’s a glimpse into the amount of fun we share and the things we’re been through. There is no one as awesome as she is (to me) and is the best person I know.

She’s the lost artist, the brooding writer, the patient listener, the wine sipper, the thoughtful dreamer, the passionate soul. The bicycle lover, the vintage-y dresser, the best story teller.

Hope you always be as awesome as you are know... 

                               

  

So Liam!!!

Yours,  

Crystal ( aka Liam Crystowski)
