I'm beginning to think that any form of life that I'd be responsible for, I wouldn't be able to handle; let alone the human male (!) If I got a cactus, I'd probably have a dead cactus before the week is out. That would be apt. Less nourishing than a frigging desert! Perhaps this is an experiment I should actually undertake. Any bets? :D

An ode :)

I can't believe it has actually happened. The times we had together melted down to days....to hours.....and then to those last few seconds.... It broke my heart to leave you there, to turn back and see you check in half-heartedly.... 'coz you have been the awesomest friend and a super adorable kid to me :) We had all those lasts....the last joint...the last peg....last perimeter....last trip to Hong Kong (!)....and yet they were all firsts in a way....the first time that it started to sink in that this way of life would be done with real soon... That my comfort zone would lift off from one 'pur' to 'pore' :))
You gave me the most amazing final year at kgp that I could have ever have wanted....hell, you gave me more of a good time than just that :) And child...I'll miss taking care of you... I'll miss listening to all the nonsense you would start saying if I stayed quiet long enough :) I'll miss the times at Nescafe, I'll miss the 2.2s.... The list is endless, but that won't make me stop :) I'll miss waking up and waiting for you to wake up so we could have breaker :) I'll miss watching the way you would pull people's legs at the drop of a hat... (or otherwise, actually :D) I'll miss the routine I had slipped into while I wasn't noticing myself! You have a way of climbing under people's skins and not leaving :P
Heck, I already miss you like nuts...
Here's looking at you, kid... We'll always have Puri :)
And we so aren't done yet :D Yo Bar-Cap One!!!!!! :))))
