Little things that you can't explain

Before writing more, this is not another feel good blog to boost my self confidence, as one of my close confidantes succinctly told me after reading the previous blog. No mate, all we need is a weekly Man Utd victory for that :P

There are many things in life that you can't explain with a voice of reason. Not all thoughts and actions from us are the outcome of a reasoned thought. We develop many likes and dislikes in life without knowing why. It has happened to me many times, and I guess it will happen many times in the future as well.

One such thing, is little Aditi. All of two years old,(I hope I'm right lol) she looks like an adorable angel. I've never met Aditi, most possibly I may never meet her. She is not one of my blood relations. She isn't a family friend. I never went to college with her mum or dad. She is not my relative. She's not the pretty little girl with blue eyes on the Walmart counter near my house. In fact, I know so little about Aditi and her family that I don't know why I like her so much.

I know Aditi's mom, Michelle. The fun part is, I'm not Michelle's soul mate either. I know Michelle to an extent, I have argued and shared conversations with her on a football forum. She doesn't support Man Utd either, she supports Arsenal. I haven't met Michelle in person too. I know her only through Orkut and Facebook. I'm sure she's a nice lady, but I'm not that close with her either. I'm sure I can call her my friend, but not really aclose friend.

So, Why do I like Aditi? I don't know. But I like her much. Whenever I see a new picture of her uploaded in Orkut or Facebook, I get so proud as if she's my little niece. I can never explain why I'm so proud as if she's my own relative, but I am.

Aditi, wherever you are, you may know that you have a well wisher who occasionally prays for you :) Maybe I'm your long lost uncle from the pre historic times.

A little wiser to the good

This week, I made my peace with a long lost friend. 

I haven't been in touch with that person for a long, long time. In the calendar of fairy tales, this used to be 'Long, long ago in Faraway land', I used to be friends with the person in question. If my recollection is correct, we weren't friends for long. 

Although our friendship was short and curtailed by petty fights, I actually was thrilled to have such a good friend. Like many good things, which come to a premature end, we ended up fighting and throwing it away. For goodness sake, we didn't kill each others cat. It's even funny to look back and reminisce about the past. I can't believe I had thrown away a good friend because I wanted to be cool. 

However long story short, after so many days, and after a couple of failed attempts to patch up, I managed to get in touch with that friend again. One thing's for certain, we are never going to be bosom buddies once more, and I don't expect a shoulder to cry on, as any true friend would offer. But it's good to still be in touch and know that there's no bad blood between the two of us. 

I was pleased with myself that I could try and patch up with a friend. Even if it amounts to nothing, it's at least a sign of my continuing maturity. I was also very happy for my long lost friend. Although we aren't going to be thicker than water, I'm happy that we made our peace. This will be one less of my regrets in life so far. 

Not playing for Manchester United, remains the first.

Malaika, nakupenda Malaika.    
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio,
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,    
Ningekuoa Malaika.                
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,    
Ningekuoa Malaika.                
 
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege.        
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege.

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,    
Ningekuoa Malaika.                
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,    
Ningekuoa Malaika.
