World is full of them – Part I

This post is my answer to my friend’s convenient confusion.
Of course it feels great when people ask you for advice, especially stuffs skating over topics like philosophy, romance,  ideology etc. You feel all important. Today I got a mail from my friend. It was short.
“Ni, Need to talk. Be free after 9. Will call”
Duhuh!!! It is highly unusual for this friend or any other friends for that matter to make an appointment before calling me. Corporate Effect? Whatever!
We had our talk. Yawn! Another case of heart-break. It has been a while. She was just getting over her depression stage. Someone else asked her out. And she agreed because she wanted to move on, forget him, show him that she is not a loser, bla bla bla. And what do I think?
I tried my best to sound sensitive. But it was difficult. She wants to know what I think.
Okay, here she goes.
When will people stop doing these kinds of outdated tricks in love? Yea, 'Love'!'I mean, trying to make people jealous, grabbing tainted attention, going out with just anyone just because you want to show that you are all cool. Yea, the world is full of them.
Is it necessary to be with someone else (whom you don’t even care about) to move on? This Funda is beyond me.
Instead of concentrating on tagging after some psychotic loser why not dig for some other options  for a change? Like n new hobby?  Like going for music classes or sports coaching or any such stuff?
Or are you too used getting your expenses taken care of by any random bf?
If you really wanna be the dudette and move on, you have 1000s of options. World is not so dull. And definitely not a bad place to be in.

Harry Potter and Nutcases

Today is the 7th anniversary of my G-group. I am not allowed to disclose the name though. I have not shared about this to anyone before. But now I really feel like writing about it.
And I saw the HP-7 movie, first day first show as usual. It was great unlike its predecessors. They were so duhuh. I couldn’t wait to log in to my special G-group id. It was created by my friend Jazmine. There are 7 of us and yea it is exclusively ours. We met through the fan forum, became friends and the best thing is that we are from different nations. Simple Coincidence.
HP has been a part of me since the age of 11, same age as Harry was then. My sister gifted me my first book. HP was not so well known in India then. Anyways I have few friends with similar book-taste.

Harry is still 17. We crossed the ageline. Sigh!
I used to pretend that my school was Hogwarts. I used to see people in cloaks walking by, candles hung in the air, roof of the building bewitched to resemble sky etc. Oh I was very much a part of the magical world. Ha!
I don’t know how 7 of us became friends exactly but I think we kinda liked each others reviews and 1 comment led to more and so on. Over the years the seven of us grew really close. Oh not like those jobless obsessive ninnies who pee-sleep-poo on facebook.

We logged in only during the initial-excitement-days of book launch or movie release.
I am particularly close to Jazmine. She is from Argentina. She is the only one who phones me occasionally. She knows quite a bit of Malayalam now. She is the one who got me into Argentine-sit coms. They are way too cool. And I simply love their music. Nothing like Indian Telly Ew!
Well back to our group. I just logged in at 12:00 to wish everyone. And oh my! All were online which happens only on this day. We had a long discussion. Awesome!
It does not take much to be happy does it?
