I met her at a club dinner one Saturday night. There was an odd sort of radiance on her countenance. I was helping myself to a fifth glass of chilled lemonade when I spotted her. She was standing alone—though not in a corner. I walked up to her out of sheer curiosity. Something magnetic about her seemed to be drawing me towards her—irresistibly, inevitably… Hesitating slightly, I sauntered casually up to where she stood. ‘Don’t you think the music’s playing a bit too loud’ I asked casually. ‘Uh…yeah, well sort of’ she replied somewhat warily. ‘So, enjoying yourself?’ I asked. ‘Yeah’ she said without enthusiasm. ‘Don’t sound like it’ I remarked. ‘Well,’ she said more freely, ‘I thought I’d meet some friends at least.

i am not a poet. i just write. the form doesn't really matter much to me.
yes, i am the same woman. she's a friend. in college.
are you based in doon? i have a strong connection with that place.
:D
it's all the same, innit? :)
i was born in Doon. have lived there for 5 years. and keep going back every now and then.
symbiosis, it is :)
yeah. i went to bright lands, which was more of a boot camp and less of a school.
and here comes the sad part. social networking sites are banned on campus. they're listed under 'personal relationships' and are, allegedly, distracting students. hence.
if you are on gtalk/gmail, add me there.
SJA! we've never exactly liked you guys much either :P
