A DAY WELL SPENT

After a long time,I could look back and say that yesterday was a day well spent without regretting anything.After a long time, i went out with two of my best friends, Ritu n Rats for the first day first show of NEW YORK....somehow our timings never seem to coincide together,with me being extremely eccentric and given to severe mood swings,ritu failing on most occasions to convince her mom and Ratul [busy bee] always seem to have prior appointments... so it's rare to see the three of us ending up at the same place,same time together...and revisit all the cherished memories that we three have spent together....growing up!!.
Lately, i have become sort of a recluse as opposed to the gregarious, outgoing extrovert i once was...maybe as a result of my peristent failures or simply due to my impending exams.With all my exams finally over, i relented easily towards this outing. since i had missed rat's birthday treat just the day before, i did not want to be the spoil-sport on this occasion as well and also i was really lookin forward to meet Ritu after a long time. As usual, i arrived fashionably late..lolzzz and was taken aback to find both of them actually before time for the first time.
The movie has been labelled 'unwatchable' going by the T2 review. The highly exaggerated and overrated T2 review was further accentuated by the words '150 mins of complete boredom'...i somehow disagree...maybe it wasn't great, neither was it flawless or impeccable in any sense but still it was v much 'watchable' in every sense..and i seriously do not regret spendin 90 bucks.maybe i'm a bit biased because the movie revolve round 3 friends n we were also 3 friends together in the movie hall but nevertheless the movie was highly emotional and had some defining moments which did tug at my heart-strings.i did identify with the character of Omar, torn between his love for Katrina's Maya and his loyalty to his best friend Sameer on one hand and his betrayal on the other hand.in a very simple way it hints at a v distorted theory of life-- whom you percieve to be your worst enemy is in reality your truest well-wisher....sounds weird but yess its v much plausible...
The end was unpredictable and so director Kabir khan scores brownie points on that note.the peppy "yaaron" number made me nostalgic and brought back lots of memories of school life which was heightened by the presense of two of my closest friends n even before i realized, my eyes had become moist.a lot of memories came back suddenly to me.
I still remember the day when Rats first came to my house for Premraj sir's tuition in cls 9...previosly our maths tuition comprised only two freaked out specimens, me and Ritu. So we were both a little bit apprehensive of this "new" inclusion to our group.we were v possessive of our privacy..lolzz.Even though i had known Rats, ever since i was a little kid n used to study at CGHS, still before that, we were never exactly 'close' friends.His initiation to our group was however a defining moment and ever since then,we three have bonded v strongly....the two years passed in a daze and suddenly we found ourselves in cls 11, with no premraj sir's tuition to fall back upon.However surprsinglyly instead of weakening the bond between 'the terrefic trio' strengthened with time.The only visible change was the fact that me n ritu stopped calling ratul, 'ratullaaa' n started calling him 'rats' [no rats, u don have to get inflated, it has got no relation to a certain Samadrita saying out of the blue that you resemble Imran Khan..lolzz]...but Rats it did become....he is v much proud of his 'wig' trick n his paintings and was upset with me as i had not talked about them explicitly in my post about him..so ok guyz let me enlighten you about his myriad talents in diverse fields...
He always used to entertain us with his pathetic jokes and his infamous "wig trick" [ highly publiscized: courtesy, RItu and yours truly]..even my sis found it highly entertaining.His artisic endeavours for me however lies unparalleled...and sometimes some of his drawings...showed signs of a 'true genius' besotted by art..and no maybe for the first time..i am not exaggerating...Its amazing, the way he hand paints most of the shirts he wear....rats..next time i want a hand painted shirt for both me and ritu..and if you agree, we three can start a business as well..you will look after the artistic department while me n Ritu would conveniently look after the finance department...lolzz..
Ritu on the other hand has been my bestest friend for a long time ..so it wasn't premraj sir's tuition which brought us close..but still our bond strengthened as we started 'reading minds' and 'faces'...this girl is really clairvoyant in a weird quirky sort of a way...she seems to understand a lot of untold things and the way she handles pressure and excessive stress is highly commendable....this girl never fails to intrigue me and they say 'experience is your best teacher'..i have learnt a lot just by being a silent [not so silent at times] spectator of her life..
So the three of us that day had a highly exhilarating time, heightened by our brief stint at KFC....and the snaps that we clicked..am sure the three of us resembled lunatics who were out of their mind in our quest to find someone who would be more than ready to click a snap of the three of us together...it was perfectly hilarious, the way i confidently went up to the security-man to get our snaps taken, who politely refused..straight to my face..hehehe..
The much talked about snaps are however not with me...and so when i myself can lay my hands on it, i'll publish it on my blog....
I really had a good time and for me it was a trip down memory lane...few moments of togetherness with two of my closest friends, i don't think i could ever ask for anything more....even though we have grown up now, beneath the garb of an 18 yr old responsible, mature [am talking about you 2, keep me out of this..am still yet to become responsible], individual lies three children always in the lookout for security and familiarity...it was this security and familiarity that we three had felt in Premraj sir's tuition and that is the reason why we are so comfortable with each other....something, tells us we were destined to meet Sir n go to the same tuition..because this iconic tuition paved the way for this beautiful friendship that we share today..
Ritu and Rats..i need to congratulate you two for your brilliant results this year..JU calling..lolzzz...i hope we three make it to the same college..am sure we'll make sure half the people at JU goes mad...Also last but not the least, i want to thank you two for always being there for me irrespective of the thousand times i have misunderstood you both...i have shouted at you both, been extremely rude at times...hurt you both in many ways..but still i somehow knew you both can't remain angry with me for long...so lolzz..i'll continue to shout at you both..i'll really miss the cheerful banter that we three shared on every topic under the sun ranging from highly philosophical, didactic lectures to the cheapest joke possible..lolzz..n ooh..yess ..sometimes censored stuff as well..how could i forget that..
i wouldn't say i'll miss you two because i know, i wouldn't ever get that opportunity to miss you both ..because you two are a v important part of my life,,,missing you guyz would be akin to missing a part of my own self..
LOve u guyz..a hell lot..n we three ROCK..[ upside down..am convinced..lolzz]
