This was the conversation I had with my baby a few days back...and trust me, I couldn't believe his words...they felt so much like a dream...but they were true, and I was so very happy for my bachaa that day...coz it was gonna be his first play enactment...

I still remember those days when I used to go to his house, and see all the videos and graphic mixing (and all other jargons) that he had so intricately developed. All of them were master pieces...gems...each one of them. I have always admired his potential as a film-maker, and I know one day he's gonna make it to cinema, and make it big...he's a rising star, with so many ambitions, and so many dreams...

Initially when we weren't really acquainted with each other, he used to always talk about his dreams, and what he aspires to be... and I would just neglect it as general talk. But with time, I realized how much his dreams mean to him, and more than that, I realized how much HE means to me...thats when I began to relate with all his future endeavors...his thoughts then went through my mind as well...I could literally make a clear picture of his thoughts, and see what he wanted to do with his life...

I have always been mesmerized by his creativity...and this one's just an example...


Beautiful ain't it? I'm sure no one could have ever thought of a wedding invitation to look something like this...it was...different...or rather, unique...yes, UNIQUE is the word...I hadnt seen anybody make a wedding invitation this way. See the ambigram there? When read from one side, it reads as VIJAY, and when turned around and read, it reads as SAVITA...thats the creativity!! When he showed me the rough work, I stood gaping at its beauty...I couldn't have thought of anything better than this...this was IT...my wedding card...and though it cost me a whopping 3000 bucks for just about a hundred cards, it was worth it...

We haven't really spent that much time with each other, but in the little we have, I have come to know him as my Best Friend...though he's my husbands brother, he feels more like my baby, my son...He's the one I approach when I'm missing India...coz he makes me feel so much better...whenever we talk, it feels like as though he's right next to me, with his radiant smile, giving me that warm hug...life feels so much more lighter with him around, or with his voice in my ears...its been five months since I saw him, and my heart cries out to him...coz I'm now craving to see that smile which brings me back to life...

Talking about life, it brings me back to what Surya's life is revolving around...his life revolves around mainly one thing...and thats theatre...sometimes I wonder what does he love most -- his girlfriend, his family or theatre...I might have to guess theatre...he's so much into it...and trust me he's got the knack and the talent to keep people rooted to their seats...and finally he did get a chance to do that...with "Saddu!! Vichaarane Nadeethidhey" at Rangashankara in Bangalore...it is one of the most esteemed theaters in Bangalore...and his first break came from there!! I was so happy to know about it...my happiness knew no bounds when he told me about it...I was pleasantly surprised...so much happening in his life, and I am unable to be there for him...it is so unfortunate that I'm not gonna be one among the audience for my son's first play...I feel sad, but I wont show him my disappointment, coz right now, he needs a lot of encouraging, specially when everything is going good for him. I pray to God that he achieve all that he has ever aspired in life, and that he gets everything that he wishes for. I pray that he reach the epitome of success in whatever he wishes to conquer...well, thats all I can do, sitting miles and miles away from him...Pray.

Thinking why this PDA? Coz this, for me, is not PDA, its my space, and in this space, if I wish to tell the world what a wonderful person Surya is, then thats what I just did...And I did it coz I'm proud of him...we all are...he's our(mine and Viju's) heartbeat, our reason to smile, my Best Friend and our dream come true...
