--XtreMe XhiLArAtIoN-- As the two fingers became closer, the heart beat of a soul thousands of mile apart increased rapidly. thousand of memories came rushing back sending a shiver down the spine. "why me? why today? " the torture the soul felt cannot be expressed in words.. *Ding Dong* finally, the both fingers met. tears ran down the cheeks of that cursed soul. it was utter silence. such an antithesis environment compared to the usual boisterous atmosphere. everything was so noble. *kring kring..* The sound of phone ringing broke the silence. the voice that answered was real solace. "happy diwali baby. i luv u". finally..finally the troubled soul gave a breath of relieve. to hear my family's voice wishing me first was the best gift i could ask on this prosperous day. being alone was torturous enough. not listening to my luved ones' voices, not that was a whole diff story by itself then came the wishes from frens.. being online helped a lot. seing them jubilate in joy was as good as me being there. such a troubled soul found a lil peace. i downloaded a movie n watched while chatting with my frens.. i had only one thing to look forward to - indian food for lunch with shin wei.. almost 3 months plus not seing curry, the mere thought of having curry in a while was enough to spice up my entire system. i kept on looking at the watch.. not closing a wink the entire nite, i dozed of for bout an hr, b4 jumping out of bed, got ready (yeah wore new clothes mum bought)yippieeee... n went for the most awaited lunch ever. meeting shin wei, we walked to that indian outlet. 'we serve only vegetarian food, mam'.. am i hearing it rite? was he kidding me? i felt the entire world of dreams crumbling upon me. "dishum..rattle rattle rattle.." :P So, u mean, there is no place where i can get chicken curry? my heart burst into thousand pieces.. i had dreamed of this day for months. i want my curry. "there is one shop mam. at the ned of fith n green st". i felt like a blind man who had got back his eyes. yippieeeeee... fastening my pace, both me n shin wei went looking for that shop. despite the few mistakes n wrong roads, we finally found our destination. As i stepped forward into the shop, it was like stepping into heaven. the aroma of curry that filled the air was too good to be true. after placing my order, i waited ImPatIenTlY for the food, when it was finally served by this handsome looking nepalese..haha.. who cares bout the server? my main concern - the served.. as the tasty chicken curry, shrimp curry n rice slide down my throat, i confess - I AM IN HEAVEN!!! it was sooo good, tasty, scrumption, gosh the list just goes on n on.. both me n shin wei ate to our heart's content.. by the end of the day, i had so much food balance but i could not go on.lol.. greedy me. so i packed it for lunch..wakaka..the best part of america - large portions.. :P as we were walking back, we made another stop at walgreen..lol..this is where the unexpected took place..haha.. never in my life i thought i would end up doing it... wakakaka..i bought an outfit never ever ever have i ever bought..lol..but of course i cant kill the surprise by telling what i bought..lol.. that would kill everthing..the only clue - haha..its a halloween costume..wakaka.. *grins evily* well even i cant bliv i actually own it..haha.. n i luv it..lol..upon reaching my dorm, i had received my diwali goodies n the new baju..yippieeeee..triple joy... what a day.. felt like floating on cloud 9... full stomach + contented heart = sleep..haha..i dozed off till god knows when..only to get up n just in time for dinner.. another round of indian food, n i offically announce - IM STUFFED!!.. once again, back to my darling date, Mr.Dell... *kring kring* haha..nothing suprising..the phone has been ringing for quite a number of times di.. butttt, the news that came was not a normal one. "shamini, clean ur room. we are coming now" that was teda on the phone. one look around n i felt ike faiting. clean this mess? it would take me ages. however, sthing better than nothing. i dumped dozens of soda bottle crowding my table into the a bag. cleaned my table n kicked the shoes under the bed, when i heard a knock on my door. "HAPPY DIWALI!!!!!" Ily grreted n hugged me..then came teda, ann, hafizah n fariza(both all the way from michigan-my lucky day) n ezra..iw as hugged (finally after 3 long months) n grreted..n they all sang me diwali song(in the tune of happy birthday..haha) it felt soo sweet to be remebered n luved. we chatted n talked.. it was so noisy. sooo nice.. my always quiet lonely room was finally filled with voices of my frens-the way i have always yearned ti to be. n then came nad, ijan, kamilah n asam..all adding to the huge party..haha..it was one memorable sight.. adding the icing to the cake of my diwali.. when they all left, my room became the usual quiet room. but this time, it felt different, instead of feeling the usual loneliness, i felt exultant. its a wonder what bonds of camaraderie can do. jsut mintues before the clost stricked 12 again, i had one last person to talk to.. it was so nice talking to kartik.. it felt different seeing that it was diwali n his cousins r all so teasing him..haha.. truly a diwali i will neever forget. not my usual diwali with my family but a memorable one though. i luv all u guys n thanks for making it such a sweet one. from the lonely troubled soul i metemorphosed to cloud 9 gal..:P..
