*high10*

some good things do come out of the once in a blue moon cleaning ritual.. and today it was the day for that.. and how! sorting out the zillion of the randomest pics and selecting the few maddening ones to take them out for the prints and sticking onto my wall and subsequently editing them, i unearthed a couple of priceless ones.. really PRICELESS!!

this one was a 'surprise' for her.. neither of us remember the exact time of when it was taken.. but both of us remember the place where it was taken.. :) and as far as my good guess goes, this was taken in 2007 or 2008, in Barista--Juhu,Mumbai.. she had a sizzling brownie and i sipped on a lime mojito (non-alcoholic, ofcourse!) and these used to be our long sought after meet-ups of the year, when i used to come back home during my autumn-break in college.. and we both made sure to clear up our calender for this :) and so today, after 4-5 years later when this surfaced, it was a pretty "awwww" moment for us over whatsapp, followed by the 'kisses' and the 'love sighs!' plus, the added bonus being the fact that at least one photo of us that is tainted in complete girlie hues---pink and red.. add a couple more 'awwwws' to this as she is all set to be married in a month's time now! time sure flies by, as if we are standing still.. 

and the another one that surfaced was another surprise.. not with the photo, per se.. but the sheer fact of realisation that it brought forth along.. completion of a decade!

we met 10 yrs back.. in high school.. and it has been 10 years since then.. a fact that suddenly dawned upon me today.. not with the exact date, but the year itself was equally over whelming for me.. 

this is not the only picture of us.. in fact, we surely boast of a lot of pics of us together.. random pics.. and not to mention the quirky videos, that were shot unintentionally by him.. over stupid nothings.. and all of a sudden, i realised, i have to share it with him too..

so a tag on the social networking site over this very picture, including the geo-tag of the place.. and that was also not enough.. so, the next one hr was spent over the national call! :) and oh boy! 10 years worth of living and laughing.. :) starting from sharing the same flats (twice), saving up the last seats in the bus, random walks to the mount mary hills, 'smoky' affairs, and what not.. i told him to have a beer on our 10.. we deserve that!! and we ended up making plans----elaborately detailed plans of what all we should do to celebrate our 'decade' when i come to Mumbai.. and yes, the 'smoky' affairs were in the list!! :-p

so yeah.. some old and precious memories revisited..

and a gloomy day cheered up..

p.s. of course, the Sweetheart always helps.. everytime.. forever.. even if it's grossed out (pun intended).. coz, for the first time till now, i am delightfully forced to take the tag of 'Mr.L' off him.. *love*
