And so six years later,

I realize we are still friends. I don't know what bond was created 13 years ago, but it was done and I think we are going to be in each others' lives for many more years to come. And I think it's awesome that you can count on something like that.

So much has passed between us, we must sit down and talk and talk and talk. It sounds like the perfect idea to me.

Here's to that plan. I cannot wait.

**EDIT** I realized my earlier version of this post was way too melancholy for it's own good. Here's the gist of it, toned down to what i think is necessary.

Sneak peek and then some

Look above. I'm working on some new art. It's been a terribly long time since I did anything creative and S has been super supportive by believing in me to make more art. So, the upcoming piece is dedicated to S.

On another note - One of my favourite colleague's at R+K left today, it was her last day. And yes, it has made me quite sad. I honestly wish I could have worked with her more and not having known her well enough and still being this sad is a very odd feeling. It's not a happy one. I only hope I will keep in touch with her more in the future. I will miss you very much Shilpy. Much luff to you, Daniel and your loverly cats and wishing you a wonderful married life ahead.

Top 5 Reasons

To step out today:

1) Because you should only watch so many episodes of Boston Legal/Gilmore Girls/Scrubs/Modern Family back to back
2) Because the weather outside is so beautiful.
3) Because sitting at home and eating non stop never made anyone thin.
4) Because there is a sale!
5) Because it will make you bold and appreciate what's out there. It will only come with practice.

So go on, get out more!

And he shall be my Squishy..

During the course of our lives here on this planet we come across many people from all types of cities, backgrounds, views and interests. And from among them, many move on from our lives and we may, in all probability, never see them again. But there are a few whom we will never forget for they have truly left their mark, either in our minds or in our hearts.

This post I write for one such friend. I have known him for a little over a year now and I am proud to say that he is one of my best friends. I have never met a person so blatantly honest about who he is. He loves without fear and that is a quality I deeply admire. He is the only person I know who is so dedicated to looking out for dog-kind that he jumped right into a garbage dump to help a creature in need, even though said creature really didn't appreciate his help. How often do you find people like that?
If there was ever a person who has helped me see the other side of any situation, it's him. He keeps telling me, "Why the hell do you care about what this 'society' would think?! Why are you afraid?" Truth is Kela, there are a lot of things that I have grown up to believe are the important ones and one of those things included what everyone else thought. I guess I never had the strength to believe that I could make it my own and that it was okay to think and act differently. I hope to gain that strength one day.

And true, there are other people who might have a better measure of the person you are, my baby Kela, but I like the person I have come to know. I am honestly glad you badoda shnaa-ed your way into my life.

Much love and noise :)
