- A day spent at the beach, pretending to be mermaids in a vast universe of possibilities and sea dreams.
- Plain tea in cupfuls in a dingy student canteen with a side dish of a miniature spicy roti and conversation.
- A bike ride on a river bank while the sun set and the moon rose on either side of your vicinity.
- Sliding down a river bed, in fear and delight, letting the waters clasp you in a jealous embrace, only to dump you on to a rocky bottom.
- Throngs of dragonflies, flitting past rays of sunshine.
- Missing the sun during a drive to the beach and breaking into a smile when the sun burst through the clouds like a long-awaited super hero.
- Dancing the night away in a frenzied oblivion.
- Saving a reckless fly from drowning in a glass of water at a fancy restaurant while a chocolate mousse looks on with mockery in its sweet, sweet being.
- Staying up to study together and ending up with stolen moments of a world cup opening ceremony.
- Shared feelings of anger and frustration at a bully of a manager and escaping her clutches.
- Sour mango dipped in chili-salt mix.
- Licking wounds and over-analyzing over cups of tea or alcohol.
- Long walks leading nowhere.
- Stumbling upon a street full of pale pink blossoms and a sky-ful of rosy clouds on those walks.
- Conversation, oodles of it about the world, its ways and how fucked up it all is.
- Conversation, oodles of it about the world, its ways and how beautiful it all is.
- A mutual love of the whimsical.
- Accepting the ‘walking-contradictioniness ‘in each other.
- Shared cynicism, dreams, madness and sunsets.
- A mutual love of star tingles and moonlit walks.
- A fantasy land somewhere, where Sylvia Plath and Pablo Neruda co-exist in bliss.
- All the stories found.
- All the stories lost.
- All the stories lived.
