Bittersweet moments

With bittersweet feelings, you promise to keep in touch. With a heavy heart and teary eyes, you hug each other good-bye. Take mental pictures. You count the number of times you did this before. Airport visits. Returning back to an empty house. To a nostalgic mood. You anticipate how life will be different now. You lose another friend to time and distance. Something inside you dies. You try to take as many pictures as possible. To capture every moment. Every emotion. Every feeling. As time passes by, the promises of keeping in touch are lost. And all that remains are memories. Including this moment. It seems like a huge leap right now. But eventually we all end up fine. Much more than just fine. As time passes by, life moves on. You get used to things. Change is a part of life. Change is good.

Dance and the world will dance with you.

This one is a painting made for me by my roommate Sayali. (Its currently one of my most prized possessions :)) This is the first time someone has ever made a painting for me. Apart from the fact that the painting is just plain AWESOME and that the timing of her giving me this painting is so perfect; feels good that my roommate makes a really happy, energetic and vibrant painting for me :) :)

Needless to say after seeing this that Sayali is an awesome painter. Here are some of her other paintings.

To P...

He says something in the most minimalistic number of words..
He metaphors..
But somehow I understand deeply what he means to say.
I don't know what connection I have with him, maybe its just that I am traveling on a road that he has already been on several times
I really dont know what it is; but I do know that I get him.
He might not teach me how to be a successful businessperson but he most certainly makes me a much better person
He never fails to deliver the right message at a time when I need to read it the most.
So this one is for you Paulo.. For all the times you taught me to believe in myself, to believe in dreams, to keep listening to my heart, to go deep within, to understand psychology, to accept people and most importantly for teaching me to accept myself.
