July 29th 2008...

I had been waiting for this thing not to happen for a little more than 4 years now. Nevertheless it happened. And it hurt...Really deep down in the heart. To an extent that for a second I feared if the pain was for real.
I really wished for once that my fears were for true.
But what I had thought would happen with a bang, was nothing more than few subdued vocal and silent moments. I would have loved a bang rather. Even though it has been more than 10 years since i last burnt a cracker in diwali, I still love the sound.

That brings back to me sweet memories of my school and my Guruji. He asked me to not to burn crackers, I humbly nodded in agreement. He asked not to eat meat , so be it. No tea , no problem. I just used to follow his words without giving a second thought to what might his hidden agenda be. Any way my parents were happy. No tea, meat and crackers meant their boy was becoming less and less expensive to maintain.

After all the zigzags, am pretty much still the same. Still no tea( yuck), meat (rights ), crackers ( earth) and less expensive ( compulsion).
