Last weekend I went for my first play ever, to Sophia college in Breach Candy, (the eye candy for southies, its a girls' college). I was already late for the play, reached right spot on when the bell rung, with the 8 books I bought from fort an hour earlier, for a mere 600 bucks. (Including the Unarmed Victory, by Bertrand Russell which is a banned book here)
I was already very happy throughout the day, I had watched Dasvidanya with Sheru and Shama, and liked it, also we had met after a really long time.
The play was ok. Lots of sexual comedy. And we were embarrassed that we had invited Archit and his sister for the play. Anyways, they were quite cool with it. When we came out, I just saw how beautiful the place is. The buildings were all with the old British feel. The roads were sloping and curvy, (as they were when I was in Paris, at Luv's university, and we had to walk down at least 400m to get to the sea level. ) There was graffitti on the walls, with the teenage one liners like, 'Suicide, I've already died'. The whole ambience felt very homely.
When I finished up dinner and was in a cab with pooja and gaurav, I realized something. We are changing. I, who never cared for how much we spent, on at least friends and outings. I had told Pooja how much money she owed me. That had never happened. Now, I felt like telling her, ' have we ever done a hisaab, ditch maar'. But I didn't, unconsciously, either not to make her feel bad, or just that others might feel odd.
Anyways, will feel so nice...it is just another feeling.. to be friends who dont care about money.. saying - we will be the same as always no matter what.. we are strong, carefree people with our own rules..Let the world go down.. Yessss.. truly.. we will live life kingsize as suits us, and we will believe in simple living, high thinking.. Suddenly my thoughts changed to a line which I shaama had told me earlier that day when we were discussing about body building, "Kitna mast lagta hoga, khud ko dekhkar roj bolte honge " Main kitna awesome hoon!" "
In the long confused version of life we are living where we are so netted by all the constraints we put on ourselves, not living as freely as we used to, we tend to 'mature', becoming more individualistic, having certain principles and making rules of behaviour for our mates. Which tends to kill all the fun. Too much sentimental abstraction, but considering it objectively, not.
Just remember the old saying,
"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
- Albert Camus
