Never ever...

Never ever let your sense of Morality come in the way of doing what is Right!

... Happily Single...

The days when we loved every minute of the uncannily similar coke-n'-chips evenings, day after day. And we rushed down the roads to reach home before we're 'scandalizingly' late!
We walked, we talked... and we walked-the-talk... endlessly and effortlessly. Year after year.

Bangalore. Rejoining and rejoicing in "Life". The occasional barbeque-evenings (complete with green pudina chatney)... staying awake till the wee hours of the morning... climbing over the fences to reach home after a midnight movie...
Kolkata. I can still hear the echoes of our laughter ringing through the streets. And our endless fights. And the pointless tears.

The just-out-of-school days syndrome (which lasted more than 10 yrs after school)... The days when we flirted just for the sake of flirting... teased each other over non-existent crushes... hated each other... loved each other... watched each others' backs all the time...
The days when 11 pm was NOT bedtime. It was time to start connecting with friends (to give and receive a synopsis of the day)... with colleagues (to discuss office and plan the next day). Our day properly unfolded after 11. (And yes, we did have office the next day!)

All those years we've spent reflecting on the past, wondering about the future... trying to figure out life & its complications...
We've been scrutinized by the not-so-single women. We, at times, have scrutinized those women. Wanted to know what it's like to be in their shoes. Waited for our prince charming to come & sweep us off our feet! And still wanted to retain our independence.

The days when we were single, footloose & fancyfree!
