Some Days

Not everything has to go right. The pani puri, for example, might not turn out to be the best you've had. The weather may not turn out to be the fairest. The ice cream might just melt too soon. You might find yourself uncomfortably in the middle of a rather annoying dust storm. You might miss a few turns in the confusing roundabout that is India Gate...

A thousand things might go wrong.

And still your heart might be glad. And there might be a smile on your lips and a song in your heart. Because the bike purred like a kitten. Because the two of you looked like priceless eggheads thump-thump-ing your way around town. Because the conversation didn't take doing and the silences were comfortable. Because the fish was cooked just right and the cheesecake was delectable. Because she looked at you like you looked at her and both of you laughed. Because laughing, and being happy, seemed like the most natural thing to do. Because, nearing midnight, neither of you wanted to go home...

A thousand things might turn out just right.

Some days are perfect because they just are! And two in a row? I ain't complaining :-)

Good to find you in the present state...I do not have any comment on the post...what I have instead is a song penned down by Stephen Stills of CSN..

Can I Sing A Song To The Women
Take A Look At What You Might Be Missing
With A Certain Love That You Know Will Stand
It Take A Good Woman And A Good Man I Believe
I Believe, I Believe Enough, Don't I, I Believe When I See Her Eyes
I Believe There Is Too Much Love To Hide
Boy Don't Stand There In The Shadows
Let Her Know You Care About What She Knows
Turn Your Mind Into A Window
And the Listener Will Lead, Who Follows I Believe
I Believe, I Believe Enough, Don't I, I Believe When I See Her Eyes
I Believe There Is Too Much Love To Hide
If You Don't Trust At All You Lose;
You Are Bound To Fall Lost Behind Your Wall I Believe
I Believe, I Believe Enough, Don't I, I Believe When I See Her Eyes
I Believe There Is Too Much Love To Hide
So You Know Now You Found Out
This Is The Kind Of Love You Can Shout About
Leave Your Loneliness In The Past
This Is The Kind Of Love That's Gonna Last I Believe
I Believe, I Believe Enough, Don't I, I Believe When I See Her Eyes

Now this song better be in your playlist when you finish reading this..if not already :P

There is a brighter side to everything. You have to be optimistic to notice it. And that would make you feel better. A badly done up paani puri makes you realize the wonderful-ness of the one you love... and like that. How not to do something is also a lesson. Enjoy!!

Mmmmm it makes me feel every time I read this. Feel like reading it again and again today. And like I said yesterday, feel like going round and round those roads again (on a bike, on your bike). Muah!

Delhi makes me feel so :)
