Expressions with old friends and new...

Connecting with three old friends over a period of twenty four hours is....comforting. A long Sunday evening at Deepa's...and then a chat with Unni (whose birthday I nearly forgot as usual!), and then Shweta's in town, so we just caught up before crashing. It was as if after rolling on top of a turbulent sea, I entered a point of calm where the shore suddenly seemed nearer and the sky lighter. The sea is still there, and so are all the things in it, but it's less intimidating than it was earlier.

And yes, sometimes just expressing what's on your mind helps. A long dialogue over sms (as contradictory as that sounds) with V on Sat night was surprisingly effective in clarifying the mind and loosening the knots. Add the familiarity and comfort factor of an old friend to that mix, and who the hell needs counseling.

Well ok...maybe I do...but that's another story :)
