After a largely unproductive day, a cranky me sat in front of the computer with no purpose in mind, when a friend buzzed.
Within a few seconds of replying to him, he called me on gtalk and there he was at the other end, with a little bit of alcohol in him, and his precious guitar with him; singing to me the same old lovely songs that mean so much.
And I thought of those times when life was rough and he would come over with his guitar and magically fix it all. One chord at a time. But as years passed by I changed and I no longer needed to be saved. And the songs were just songs he sang on lazy rainy days. Until today. For today I listened, silently- laughing, crying, reminiscing and wishing that I was at home in Bombay, next to the window in my room, with the people that matter and the rain falling outside. And today I wished, that from time to time I were weak and in need of someone to come rescue me.

The small things people do, that simply make the life you have lived so worthwhile and the life that is left so welcoming.

He's been on a guitar-ing spree these days...he did it for 10 hours straight today of which I was an audience to for like half an hour...awesome wasn't it? :-)
Oh no..and u dont wanna wish u need someone to come and rescue me..he's done tht too, at 8:00 am sunday morning driving like a maniac from home to santacruz station coz I was sobbing on the other end of the phone..howling. It's nice to have a support system like that, but you don't wanna go there again axi, I don't, at all.
*rescue you.
