Meng xiang

10:43 am,16/07/09..as I had to literally ‘kill time’ somehow on this 15th day of 2 month long study holidays,I retiered back into my cozy recliner,booted my pc and there runs my favourite series,FRIENDS..it was season 4,episode 12..with its title track playing..
“I ll b there for you,when rain starts to fall..
I ll b there for you like I have been there before…
I ll b there for you,coz you are there for me too…”
Wait a minute…how come I never noticed this before!these are the same lines,which I read some 8 years back,behind a small piece of art work,rather a wonderful piece of art work…my mind pounced,then raced back to my teens,8 years back..
…Meng xiang.. means a DREAM..& it was all about one such dream..a small one I carried somewhere deep inside in me..which I nurtured well with all my imaginations..after pampering for 2 years,i saw it slowly realizing..it was about a true friend,who understood me more than me..and ‘B’ gave that dream colour and life,who is my best friend for a life time..(yaaa,I know,i know all these sounds cheesy!!but there isn’t a better way to pen down my feelings at this moment,so please bare with me )
B came into my life without me noticing it.From where that relationship started,how it grew,how deep it was..all those where few irrelevant questions between us.Because at end of day all we knew was the other person will always be there for one,no matter what.And it was a pure genuine friendship.It started when we both were teenagers..and had all that freshness,innocence,purity&dedication a young mind will offer for a treasured relationship like that.And its been long 8 years!!Both of us went through ups and downs of life,twists and turns of life.From teens to youth we grew with each other.Lot of things changed,infact we changed.still there is something that is consistent,that is our friendship,as fresh as it was 8 years back..
Today this title track reminded me of a beautiful drawing B made for me once,in a small piece of rough paper and with few words written behind.it was so touching.and a few lines behind that was those of The Rembrandts..which I never noticed!!As soon as my mind came back after this quick travel to past, I rushed to my room,searched out my little treasure chest where I kept all my precious gifts,diaries,cards,letters & all other crap since small!i searched through the diaries and there it was..with a little yellow tan time imposed on..that cute little handmade card,with a winking smiley on it..it felt as its creator was wiking at me..so I smiled & winked back..because B,I could see you in it..and my heart sang…
“ So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,or even your year.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too…………"
