Safar turns 22!


And so Safar turned 22. Actually he turned 22 3 days ago but we decided to have a mini surprise birthday party for him today. As I was on the train to school, Rajiv called me asking what was I up to at 6pm and I told him that is when my lecture for the day ends. Then he asked me to go to YIH for Safar's surprise party. So I took my stuff and the cake and went to YIH with Gana, Meenatchi, and Sharinah. We went to the canteen and took the cake outta the box and I carried the cake to the Student Societies Room after Gana lighted up the candles.

Our hero was sitting down at the ICS table (yes he is in ICS) and was staring hard at his lappie. Once we entered the room, we started singing the birthday song and he was so surprised man. I still remember that look on his face. So adorable! Then he blew the candles, and gave all of us abit of the cake. And I fed him a tiny bit of the cake too. Then we sat down and slacked at YIH.

I made my trip to YIH after 4 months. Once Sangae was over, I have completely stopped going to YIH mainly because all my lessons are at arts and secondly I dont really have anything to do at YIH since all my friends are always at arts too. Today as I sat down with Safar and Rajiv at YIH, all those memories came crashing back to me. The table where I sat for hours writing script and changing lines whenever they didnt sound good. The room in which I sat down for days thinking of a single line to add into the script. That whiteboard that I stared for months to come up with a plot. The same whiteboard which I used to scribble my ideas and tried explaining myself to my 2 producers. The same big wooden table where we had all those ICs meetings. That same room in which rehearsals took place and that corner in which all the costume girls were arranging and checking the costumes. That space around the wall on which I leaned with my producer thinking how to make the actors feel for the script. That same space where I sat down and started making amendments while direction was going on. The HS table on which I sat down gathering my performers addresses and particulars. The other big table across the HS table where I sat down talking to the lighting people about the script and coming up with rehearsal schedules. The area outside the Student Society Room where I stood and spoke to so many people. Beautiful memories. Memories that I will carry with me throughout my life.

While I was talking to Safar, the topic of Sangae surfaced and I told him that "now when you think about it, you start missing all those times". And he looked at me and said " yah la but you ,cannot talk la. You did so much of work while I all relek only". Oh wells, whether he releked or not, he was one of those who rarely gave me any problems and he was always there for me. And he definitely stole the limelight of Sangae 07.

Then Rajiv, Safar and I went for dinner at Mac to round up his mini birthday celebration. It was after so long that I finally sat with these 2 and had dinner. We spoke about alot of things and trust me, the feeling is so nice. I have been the evil one neglecting them when other temporary things entered my life. Honestly, the feeling is great. The friendship between us is just beautiful. As usual, they started off asking me to be the producer of one of their productions and then moved on to their imaginary world where I will be the next ICS president and so forth. We had really random conversations but I feel loved. So loved and cared for.

When they sent me back home and while I was walking to my house, I was asking myself this question.

Why on earth did you say that you didnt have anyone for you when you have so many people around who will be there for you all the time. They were there all the time. It was just me who ignored them. Now I know the feeling of ignored and neglected. I promise I will never do this again.

I promise.

This goes to you 2 guys: I am very thankful for having both of you guys as my friends. You guys are gifts from gods. My diamond friends. Thanks alot guys and may our friendship last an eternity.



I am happy.
Truly happy.
P. S: Really, dont try hurting or scolding me. They wont shut up. They have already proved it once. They might look quiet but they can get angry. Especially when it comes to me.
