Not cause I love that city alot but because the one who means the most to me is in that part of the world.
There are moments and incidents in life when you hate the way life is going for you only because the most easy thing seems unattainable. When you really want to do something but cant cause of financial constraints or some other god forsaken damn reason.
This is worse when your life hanging is by just this one moment and you cant do anything about it as you are tied down.
The inability to get what you want and desire can cause such a mental imbalance (yeah i know I am getting too preachy)
Its been 2 years since I went to London to meet Ankita, and trust me these 2 years have flown. I remember the jitters we both had when I had submitted my papers for a visa as I was a bit skeptical on getting one and I did this after having a huge fight with you and wondering if you even make me stay with you. But it was worth the risk :P
The whole process of my parents agreeing on sending me to an unknown place alone just for one person, me sitting on an 8 hour flight. Now that was my first flight abroad and I was hoping that I would have some interesting company in the 2 seats next to me, but I landed up sharing my seat with an old Gujarati couple who didn't know Hindi, so I was the official translator for them, translating everything from apple juice to caramel custard (oh this needs another post altogether). The wait for my baggage ( 1 hour), to heading out and not recognising you, if it wasnt for your dad I would have stood at Heathrow for probably the next hour or so :) without any mode of communcation.
Overall the whole trip got us better with each day and trust me it was worth all the tension, drama and the rubbish that happened back home with my parents as none of the relatives approved of my Lonely Venture to a "foreign land" just to meet my best friend was just not digested by them. All this non sense didn't make even one percent of a difference once I was there with you.
All the random roaming on the streets of London without a Motive or destination made the journey even sweeter, every trip to your school was a pleasure and worth the walk in the winter, all the fights and arguments felt dismal as being there made it easier to solve them.
This is one the many moments when I ticked you off or embarrassed you by doing something stupid or crossing the road badly (like any Indian would lol ).
