Reading Krija’s blog inspired me to write something about what we have experienced so far..well written blog that was…captured lots of memories and given the form of words…
That’s all we’re left with..memories…of what was once something funny, ridiculous, heart breaking or even disappointing..what’s funny is that it didnt hit me til i read her blog..now its slowly coming to me…all the good, bad and terrible times we had..all the drama’s and the scenes we created..lol…

my deepest sympathy to all the waiters whose hearts were broken by someone…hope they find a replacement soon..and our little celebrity of TTDI..gonna miss bistro’s bad food..and rafi’s cheap bill…oh..also the ice blended mocha’s we slurped…and the most memorable day..when someone taught me to play in the rain…where i felt like a little girl all over again…all the illegal stuff we did…all the rules we crushed…and how we never learnt to study on time…no matter how hard we all tried, the habit never got away..

not forgetting block c…our fav spot..especially the alley of block c..where we commited some crimes…our never ending rehearsals…the shouting n scoldin everyone got frm me at that time…the hard slap shima got frm komeng during rehearsal…the funny dialogue speaking mathan…pat..the sultan…itsume the ibu tiri..awesome job she did..the cute lela and manja of our class…and all the pahlawans…gals turned into guys…to the extend of running away frm real guys..that historic night where we went back at 5am…some surprise birthday parties…some that turned out to be disasterous..with cake all over the floor and mops in OUR hands…my besties trip to the wrong hospital..i stil wonder how she did that…and the times i broke their hearts….the times we all broke someone else’s heart….the times we broke the silence with something ridiculously stupid…the non stop smses we sent each other..the times we fooled people…the times we were fooled..the times we were betrayed..and backstabbed..the times we partied all nite…the times we played silly games in the car…the times we went on a movie marathon…mcd ice creams we ate…liqour bottles we emptied…drinks we spilled..the times we kidnapped people…and tortured them mentally..and the times we got tortured..the flirts we couldnt stand..the sights we didnt wana see..the faces we hated…the lagoon trip…crazy rides and water splashes…the hours we spent getting dressed…the ears we burnt…the mices we killed…the times we sat in the morgue and ate junk food…which sounds pretty sick now…
this can go on and on..as there were too many memories..which im sure will arise slowly…as the shores of life are washed away with waves of time..the momories wil deepen itselves…giving us a chuckle when we need it the most..
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring the moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your sorrow, have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed for fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, if you can bear accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty everyday, and if you can source your life from it's presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon...YES!
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you are or how you came to be here. I want to know if you can stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me what or where or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in empty moments.
Loneliness---------------
Is being out of touch with yourself
Denying your innermost need by pretending it doesn't exist
Defying what you desperately want to accept
Exchanging tenderness for bitterness
Causing unnecessary alienation all for the sake of pride
When I ask you
to listen to me,
And you start giving me
advice,
You have not done what I
asked.
When I ask that
you listen to me,
And you begin to tell me why I
shouldn't feel that way,
You are trampling on my
feelings.
When I ask you
to listen to me,
And you feel you have to do
something to solve my
problems,
You have failed me, strange as
that may seem.
Listen.
All that I ask is that you
listen,
Not talk or do - just hear
me.
When you do
something for me
That I need to do for myself,
You contribute to my fear and
feelings of inadequacy.
But when you
accept as a simple fact
That I do feel what I feel, no
matter how irrational,
Then I can quit trying to
convince you
And go about the business
Of understanding what's behind my
feelings.
So, please
listen and just hear me
And, if you want to talk,
Wait a minute for your turn - and
I'll listen to you.

I received a one line in an email message. It was so incredibly simply, yet profound in a deep and penetrating way. And it was a perspective that I had never thought of before. She wrote: "G‑d is telling you to slow down in your life…"
Just slow down. How true she was. I am always running. I am always moving. There is simply so much to do and so little time to do it. And it is easy to rationalize, to explain, to excuse because I am busy doing good things, positive things, which is why I can never slow down. But as much as you have to do, you have to keep the speed limit. You can't just move at a pace that is dangerous, even if your end goal is truly honorable. If your speeding causes you to crash, hurting yourself or another along the way, you will never reach your destination, and certainly not in time.
