What changes?(To Taps)

So much has changed suddenly
Nothing is the same suddenly
Its not you, it’s not me
It’s the time and the place
Our environments are not as they used to be
No longer is it a matter of two truants set free
That’s we used to be, you and me
The classroom games and fun
The being able to say my work’s done
No longer those chatty sessions
No longer those long discussions
The silence with its comfort
When talking required no effort

No longer those movies trips
Those light hearted jolly skips
The bus trips or the coffee sips

Missing it all is bitter sweet
Its pains but still I wouldn’t retreat
Coz memories are treasures
Of that wonderland’s pleasures

Suddenly it’s all so far away?
What trick did destiny play?
From each others lives we go astray

But wonder back to each other we do
Connect we do
But those moments are becoming rare
Sometimes all we can do is sit and stare
When there so much I wish to share
I know we do care


Our bond’s stronger than time or place
So for some changes need to brace
Coz ideals change, life styles change
What doesn’t change is heart and let it not change

Missing friends so much.....esp u taps.........you have this special place that noone can take...so at times when I just want to talk to you, I can't do anything else at all.......we have shared so much...and still manage to do so despite the physical distance.....
Nostalgia is overwhelming at times of all good times......
With you I never felt needy 'coz you like me in that way.....always felt an equal with you around...
That equation changes for other people around me......
You would so many times say I what I had wanted to say before I did.......even if it was about wanting to go to McD's ..........
Suddenly hols mean staying at home more often......
Remembering the way once u smsd me that you had emergency and I should call immediately....and I saw it later when woke up........calling you worriedly only to realise your emergency was that we should go to Fun'n'Food the next day!
We been through similar phases at similar times and that's happening even now...that helps...not being alone in a phase......
Miss you.......

Wo guzraa waqt hume phir yaad aaya
Phir se man yeh roya aur dil bhar aaya
Dekhi humne bhi zamaane me dostii
Aap jitna pyaar magar kahin aur na payaa

Missing you heaps Aadi.

I now feel so secure to have reserved a place for our communicaiton. Now that there is so much physical distance between us, it becomes difficult to share every little thing that I want to. I was just thinking over this, and I realised that there are so many things that I could have told you, had we met. The internet and the ph are superficial, and i miss being with you. I miss those trips to DC, the Barista visits, the McD discussions...I miss bugging you to eat south indian food...I miss Parul, Pratibha and Samitha asking me to buy new sandals/earings/salwar suits. I miss having you ppl to console me when I was sad. I just miss everything.
I wonder if I ever told you all how much you mean to me. When you were around me, when I could touch you, call you, meet you...I probably had started taking you for granted. Sitting here, miles away in Tucson, I realise that I could have used those available moments for more discussions on life, and could have nurtured our friendship even further. I feel sad that I was over-reacting during the project days...and I feel sad to not have met samitha and pratibha before coming here.

This place is so so lonely, I miss all the fun. I want that security again. I want to run down to McDs for a nice conversation, I want to go to Satyam and watch a movie, I want to amble around the campus and sit in the lovers lane, i want to play hollywood-bollywood in the tutorials, I want to gather around the table and eat matar paneer and aloo chips, I want to play tic-tac-toe in the middle of the class, I want to sing "deewana hua baadal" and "piyu bole", I want to have coffee and maggi and rajma chawal and sambhar-wada in the canteen, I want to tease you and mota...I really really want to be back home :(

I don't know how to thank you for just being there for me, for having loved me despite all my limitations, for having encourgaed me and for all the support and advices and care. Thank you for the stole that you gave me in 2005, I have got it here in Tucson. Adi, I happen to remember the home-made chocolate that you made for my birthday. There has been no gift as sweet as that in my entire life.

Lots and lots and lots of love...
Taps

Writing in this space after a long long time.....27th dec was the last time........Can hardly believe how much life has changed since then.We have both grown a lot. There have some great times,some fun times, lots of discussions...very fruitful ones all of them.....,fears ,joys,hopes rising anf falling , some bad times also, some aggressive ones also ,doubtful ones also, and but then again that only happens when there is a bond close enough to feel strongly enough.Looking forward to more great times ahead. But some simple days last in memories forever, like just being with silently and u singing along. We have always shared those comfortable silences which are rare in todays world.

Ona presonal front,can hardly believe at times how beautiful dreams actaully come true.Life is beautiful.And i relaised i could say that even when i had a horrible day and horrible interview:)

Well will end this abruptly now and go back to robotics...

Testing the team blog with the new blogger. I hope it is properly functional.
