The One That Didn't Get Away

Ok I get it, 2011 is here and it's the perfect dose of aspirin my dying spirit needed, or at least that's what I thought up until noon. This is when I was catapulted into a wild goose chase, following a rare breed of geese called 'inflanac'. Yes the currently outdated, and renamed to god-knows-what, painkiller for my dad's backache. So I was stranded on the search for the 'inflanac' and spent hours on the road, without finding it. Strangely I didn't give into the disappointment that amassed around me. I came home, realizing that there were no buses on the road. There goes me going to Mr.Dickson's class today, which I was quite anticipating. Come on, it's the First of Jan, not like he's going to do a load of work. Besides, there is an 'external factor' involved, aren't there always one of that involved everywhere we go? Well, Life is not a storybook, so nothing fell out of the sky and made my day happier, but I made it happier for myself, by playing my melody on broken strings.

The First of January bought me so much of lively thoughts, of my success and my peace. Of how I will define my story in the paths of a stalwart and not a forgotten idiot who tried to play hero and ended up looking down a barren well. This year is definitely my positive year, whatever obstacles this steeplechase of life gives me, i'll take it with heart. I just know it's going to be a good year.

It's like all of us have been warped back to being who we were. The people
who cared less about life, and eased the stress by doing absolutely anything, as long as it's crazy. We laugh so hard, we talk about a load of things and we don't carry the bag of worries everywhere we go. 'Melvin the skeleton' our star attraction, and all the stupid things we do with it. I can't believe that children actually come to our class to study the skeleton, while all we do is fix it into wicked positions and dub it. We owe Melvin a lot of laugh-out-louds. It's the realization, that we have only a few months of schooling left, that makes us strengthen our bonds. Because when we have to leave, we ought to remain the smiles. Never leave a tear, because you never know if you'll get the chance to wipe it away.

School looks really nice now, I love the new paint job. I'm actually proud to be the Headboy. I've only got that feeling a handful of times, but this really is one of them. I feel like I have more responsibility and pride in what I'm doing. And I know nothing's going to hit my head, cause I am who I am, and being myself is what's best. Everything is so smooth, and i know it'll remain that way. Enter the graduation. We'll see. I feel a stronger bond towards certain people as well, I love the care. We are all kidding ourselves if we say we don't like the care concerned. She is invariably closer to me than before, maybe she's obliged to be, but one thing I know she's a good friend. She has been a big part of my life, a fact unknown to many. She has always left me lighter in my senses, and will always be in my head. I'm more than glad for the way things have turned out.

This year, has given me alot of moments to ponder about. And of all the strange things that happened so far, being left alone with Rukshi afterschool is one of them. I'd have never predicted this moment, as weird as it is. It has been ages since we ever actually had a conversation with each other, and I knew we can't just revert back to being good friends. There she was, and there I was, and that's it. For a moment my heart tried to escape the prison of reality and run in to the past, but my brain caught it and stopped it in it's tracks. She sat next to me, and we talked. We talked alot, stuff that we couldn't really catch up on and things we should have shared. We laughed at stupid things. I knew she was being herself, but I wasn't. But the funny thing is that it must have been the same feeling for her. Like all the things that this year is giving me, this too left me in my own realm of thoughts. It's funny that Oshi was just talking to me about my feelings and how I'm starting to show them again in very strange ways. He understands me in ways unobliging to others, I just wish I could be more giving. Well, I know that this is a test thrown in my path, to see if I can stick to the quizzical decision I made and to see if I can cope with my emotions even after. To whoever gave me this test, I'm telling you, I will stick to my decisions and I will keep moving along this path of mine. Because I did what I had to do, for a reason. A reason which I'm yet to figure out. Whatever said and done, I still know that I'm more than capable of making my parents happier in life. There's alot in store for me, and I'm up for it. Let us slip away in time into the valley of happiness.
