S~ The Oscars are so awesome.
V~ Oh yeah, totally. First the whole of America knows you. Now the whole world does.
S~ *stares* You know, Vini, that should be the tagline of the Oscars. Maybe you could patent it or something.

* Back in college :)

V~ I'm an insanely protective of you. If anyone says anything against you, I go totally pro-Sharanya.

S~ *blushes* Are you really all pro-me?

V~ *convincingly* I am totally pro-you.

S~ Vini, man, I love you! *giggles*

V~ *assuringly* I know..oh shit.

*silence reigns*

V~ Damn. When will I learn?

*I'd rather you never did, V :)

Light. Summer-y. Poetic. Transparent. Strong as plexi-glass. Fragile as shimmering flower buds in self-possessed wind. Gifted,with an exceptional mind, titanic heart & a spirit brimming with free integrity. She's your white cotton dress in summer, the slender sting of raindrops in the rains, the well-worn rug in front of the fire in the winters and that single rust-coloured leaf that clings to a barren tree in the autumns. She's a glassy tint o' lurid green in all that is grey, she is the pale sunshine in stormy blacks and traumatic blues, she enters like a breeze rippling on water, she's all things bright and bee-yoo-ti-ful, she's your favourite word in a song, she's that corner of the desk where you scribble everything you are afraid to reveal to the world, she talks like Fairy Floss on fire, she laughs like she was born just days before, she's as self-woven as a labyrinth & as pristine as a mirror. She reminds you of clouds rolling over a vast,empty sky & of water-laden earthen pots standing in solitude. She's just so Vini.

Vini.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I know you might see this a day late, but what the hell :) Yes, this was the surprise I almost told you a month back when we were eating guavas..oh, you don't remember? *grins!* I love you anyway *blows frosty strawberry kiss*

This is a tribute to the amazing, totally wonderfanterrifulastic person you are. It's the least I can do. Documented here are all the "things you say" that make my day, in more ways than one. I hope you enjoy it!

Lots of Stratiacella cups of ice-cream love,

Yours ever,

Speedy-Sharan :)

V~ *after being part of a dialogue that comprised entirely of my answering in mono-syllables, exasperated* What are you, some binary conversationalist?

*Yesterday, on bus no 28. Darling, you really expected me to tell you that I was worrying about your birthday surprise?

V~ That teacher of ours came for sports day wearing a yellow sari, with yellow eyeliner and yellow something-else on the eye! *squeals with laughter!* She must've gone to Asian paints with a needle, asking them to fill it up or something!

* In the college canteen today :)

V~ *on being told by a pal that she should be more "ladylike"* What does even mean? I find it rather weird, you know. I mean, I was born with this gender..what am I growing up to be?

*Outside VT station today. She's going to be quoted in books and on "Quotes" websites someday.
