I remember-- I was just brushing the dust off.. from old papers--diaries.. Some of the hidden treasures reside in them-- I myself do not dare; Dare to open them at times-- One such day... a butterfly fell of my page---
I had given my childhood treasure to somebody... my collection of butterflies... I just kept one with me-- At that moment-- it felt right-- To connect to someone-- you give a part of you to them -- in those times-- that was the deepest connection--
Today.. As I see it--- I miss my treasure... I miss the "Seven" I gave away--- the Eighth is black and dull....
Past told me--never to share in Present! Present tells me to keep my treasure with myself--- Future --- I don't see it anymore--
I look at the wings... the delicate black and yellow stripes-- and place my butterfly back; Safely in the pages--
I started seeing FRIENDS, probably from 7th standard.
Back then....It was funny, but totally coudn't get the gravity of it.....probably was too young to get emotionally attached to it. I loved Joey the most....probably he was the only one whose jokes I could decipher and laugh upon ....;)
During college.....when everyone started seeing it..I was almost done with all the seasons....
and for some reason, I never bothered to ever watch it again...
And then....time took a roll, life moved on, until now, when there's a set job.
I am totally enjoying this new financial independence... which is no where in comparison to the meager TA I used to get during Masters....and it does makes you feel awesome!
I normally do not practice work from home, so coming back to my den, is always a good feeling, I just pick a book to read, or if there is an urge to pen down something, I do that....or just watch some random series in my hard disk.
When it comes to series....
Dexter is done for now...though it is totally one of a kind....but for Dexter, I'll write some other day...
Modern Family is OK now with season 3....
Stopped watching How I Met Your Mother...It's more of like How I met all the Crap in my Life.....;)
The Big Bang Theory is slowly approaching towards an emotional madhouse...
Two and a Half Men has lost its sheen without SHEEN.....Kutcher is a Katchra :D
Sherlock is just a 3 episode season....Can do nothing about it!
So I found the ten seasons of FRIENDS in my hard disk....and thought why not...See it again!!
Season 1....Ah ya it goes....
Season 2...Interesting
Season 3....Was wondering i have almost forgotten what I watched way back...
and so on and so forth...
Last night, I just finished the 10th season...and realized I so did not wanted it to end...
Nothing like FRIENDS has been ever made, or I suppose would be ...infact every series somewhere follows the same concept, format.....and when you analyze them, they all fall apart in front of FRIENDS
It will always be an epic...!!
And somehow, after so many years, of growing up, having an extended family of people I'd be dead without apart from my parents....I so can relate every person I am close to with FRIENDS....
Ross..His character grows with time, but the situations make a perfect comic of him....and well, you so feel like saying,...such a miserable character...he is...but he totally is the best actor amongst all....and Ross is close because I have a Ross in my life too....the best friend you can't do without....you would need him...in every pitfall...and every rise...because you are so emotionally connected....!
Ross's Dental Bleach "the white teeth/date incident"
Joey...How you doin/? the casanova with no brains....some phrases like a " moo point" or his attention deficit disorder....or the Fuzzball Table...or the baby chick and the BABY DUCK....:D...I can go on and on about Joey...makes me wonder do I have a Joey in my life....No...there is no one..and so it was just Joey....there was a series just based on JOEY after FRIENDS got over...but it could not reach the zenith that FRIENDS did.
How you doin?
Chandler...witty, the unlaughable jokes...the one who acted cold..but was the warmest of them all....the humorous office incidents.....the inseparable bond with Joey...Monica....
There's a Chandler that exists around..someone who worships work, but when it comes to humor...can make your stomach burst laughing with his witty, silly jokes...and how much he acts cold, we all know he has a huge warm heart!!
The pink bunny "Chandler"
Monica-- the control freak...everything neat and tidy, organized....so much that it gets on to her..like a Disease...leading to many hilarious situations...and I so love the bond Monica and Chandler share....and the girl gang....Monica and Rachel....so reminds me of the only bestest girl friend I have....she being the monitor of everything I do....guarding my personnel interests...at times diving straight into them, and how much I hate intervention, I totally cannot proceed without her consent.....guys especially!! I doubt my decisions, but I can blindly count on hers on personnel issues....
The big fat Monica
Rachel......I think she brings class to the ensemble....with GUCCI, Louis Vitton and the Big Fashion World....I ain't a big Rachel fan though, but I am sure every guy has had a huge crush on her....
Always messed up.....Rachel!!
Phoebe..... I so love Phoebe...and Smelly Cat...:D
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
It's not your fault
They won't take you to the vet
You're obviously not their favorite pet
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault
From her background, to the way she is, weird, mad but so full of life....Phoebe makes the entire scene crazy....and everyone who knows me, closely, knows I am their Phoebe....but I assure...I'll never sing Smelly Cat... !!
Phoebe and her songs!!
FRIENDS past few months, was like an all new watch, and I could relate to it in someway or the other....finishng the last Season, was so nostalgic and I wished my group of 5 favourite people were around.......
The series ends with Walk On by U2......one of my favourites!!
Dedicated to my FRIENDS... for a run for money time and life time of memories...and for moments yet to come...
I love time travelling. While the outside world is howling ---dancing to loud music ( my landlords son is getting married and the house is on fire literally) , which is bursting my ears out---I am even sure that in a few minutes the walls of division between my room and the dance floor would collapse----I’ll just stop imagining----its scaring me away!!
Had no choice but look for my hard-drive---
Music—heard enough for the day—
Movies—you just can't watch them after a day of work….
Series—nothing left now…have just watched everything---wonders what I did after 12 AM in college ;)
2.00 AM
Well shifted all my focus to the old pictures ….--- Memories…
I am usually a person, who loves making everyone fall in love with the concept of clicking pictures when out with my inner circle of friends. I also set targets----my closest circle knows I am always out with a target of nothing less than 500 ---and I ensure its met.
Yah—they all get irritated!!
But at the end of the day----like today….you get 500 copies of the best times we all had----my motive being just that---
Well yesternight---I just stopped by the last 27th ---
And literally had tears in my eyes -Tears which fall down from your eyes when you have laughed more than required to be very specific ;) —for the best times, melodies, love, warmth and life---
It was just a stupid recording of spoiling all the hindi songs---the biggest flop parade ever---I cannot upload them all ---some are way too disastrous…this one’s the best compilation ever.
Thanks to the Legendary Indian Singers who were our source of inspiration-- BHOPPY da, Reshamiya, Anu Malik-----
All I remember is that - some minutes, hours together made it so worth while--- nothing beats it—nor even a Jackie Greene or a Floyd----
These melodies atleast for me will always top the charts of laughter!!
PS- Miss you all so much!!
4.00 AM---- time just passed away---and I fell asleep!!
