Like a horse

We all have someone who we admire and look up to?? Don’t we?? We all have had that “dayymnn this person” expression on our faces at least once in our blessed lives.

But what happens when someone who used to be your partner in crime suddenly becomes an inspiration??? All hell breaks loose.

Let’s call this character “the girl with a pink bow”, ummm that’s only because she loves pink , not because she is an annoying  girly girl whom we come across every single day of our god forsaken lives and who makes us wish that killing a person would be made legal.

This one swears like a sailor, parties like Paris, smokes like Marley and studies like Hermione. Wow! Quite the package I must tell u, if you want to marry her call me, I will totally pimp your ride, pun intended.

This girl and I were devils minus the tail and the pitchfork. If you looked close enough you could see the horns. We bunked college every single day proclaiming that the” world” was our school and “experiences” were our teachers. We were too cool for school. I must tell you here that she took up science and I studied good old commerce. Yes I said science.

Turns out that we had too much fun and the both of us flunk the first year of college. Shame on me I flunk commerce. She was too depressed and I couldn’t care a less about the results.

All bad things start with “there is this guy”, the same way there was this guy and the pink bow fell in love with him, he hated me and I hated him too. Mutual hatred is the best kind of hatred.

A lot of misunderstandings pulled us apart. We stopped talking. We weren’t friends anymore.

Four years later, she said hi on gtalk and I said hello and voila “we were back”. But this time we weren’t kids anymore we had “evolved”.

I sat listening to every tiny detail of what had happened in her life in the past four years and I was like “God if I was her, I’d be dead and gone long ago”.

Heartbreak, depression, loneliness, weight issues amongst all of this she studied. The girl who failed with me repeated the year, aced the common entrance test got a merit seat and is now studying to be a DOCTOR. Like a boss. Bitches be like dafuq??? But I’m like pink bow dayymn girl u showed the world the finger, awesome.

It wasn’t just the world she showed her finger to, it was to that man whore as well, that’s all the action that he would get from her. If you know what I mean.

Pink bow, you have changed my life in more ways than one.

This is just a paragraph in the book of her story, if I have to tell you the entire story I would be India’s bestselling author, poor Amish would be heartbroken.

Pink bow from you I learnt that hard work pays off, from you I learnt to respect relationships, from you I learnt “padipu sor podum” (which means, education will feed you),from you I learnt  to respect myself. You showed me that even the sky is not the limit. They put a freaking man on the moon , whoever said sky was the limit was soooo wrong.

I am not going to quote Steve jobs or Bernard Shaw or some other guy who has nothing to do with me and the pink bow whatsoever. I’m quoting rajini saar, we grew up watching his movies and he is one hell of an inspiration for most of us. “I’m not an elephant I’m a horse, I get up quicker than I fall”

That is exactly what she did; she fell deep down, but got up quicker than the fall. Like a horse.
