A Journey.

A restless sleep. Cartoon Network night. Driving across city and all the way back, and all the way back again. Missed trains. Lost books. Getting over lost books. And phones falling apart. And dresses burnt.
THINGS... just things.

Bangalore bandh... empty streets. Coffeehouse observations. Caffeine.

FRIENDS. The kind who drive you across town 3 times, without complaining, because they're "enjoying talking to you".
The kind who plan and arrange your dream vacation from across the country, and worry you're mad at them... because you thanked them.
The kind who get their drinks and join you on the wet bathroom floor in the middle of the night as you sit there trying to.. puke!
The kind who laugh off your every mistake just so you wouldn't worry.
The kind who're happy for your happiness whatever they may be going through.
The kind who wouldn't pick up calls or reply to your messages all day but say just one line, and bring your scattered world back together.

RISKS. The kind you'd hoped you'd get the chance to take.
The kind you get the chance to take.
The kind you hope you're brave enough to take.

Driving around. People laughing. City streets. Bangalore traffic jams.
All passing in front of my eyes in slow motion.

Gratitude. For everything.
And for the many journeys to come...
