Sometimes some fairy tales are nothing but wishful thinking...maybe the Prince Charming is actually Prince Cunning , or the Sleeping Beauty isn't willing to wait for a hundred years for him...
As far as Mira is concerned , marriage and love is bette...
I take my car ( my sweet Honda City) and drive towards Starbucks in the Greater Kailash. To meet up with my friends!!
In my whole life of twenty five years , I've managed to secure some really awesome friends. They were there for me when I needed them most , in my highs and in my lows , and I love them to the moon and back . So when this song was playing on the radio , I thought of all those moments we had together , when we laughed and when we fought ( which we did more often than I'd ever like to admit)
I park my car and move out. Four years is a long time. I used to be in touch with all three of them , but when my finals came in last year , it became somewhat less.
Although they assured me , that they didn't mind at all , I was somewhat nervous. But then I reminded myself , they're my gang , duh. I 'll chew their bones if they try to avoid me.

I especially wore a white top that I knew looked good on me , and a beige skirt , with some Ugg boots ( A rarity in India , I know!)
Taking a small breath, I push open the door.
" Miraamma!!" Pia yelled from three tables away. I look around apologetically to the people , and the female monkey lunged at me , shrieking. I hug her back , laughing.
I hope they don't ban us from Starbucks. Cause I'm hooked to their Mochas.
" Pia!!" another voice chided her. Help me , Aisha!!
Aisha came to us , dragging Pia back to the table where Kaira sat. I followed the entourage , trying to ignore the piercing gazes of the people.
I hug the other two , while Pia waltzes to the counter to get our drinks. " How was your experience , Foreign return madam?" Aisha grinned.
" Not bad. " I reply , " But I missed you guys so much."
" Kitne gore....." Pia was back. ( How many white people ?)
" I didn't date , Pia." I pointed out.
" Your loss." Pia shrugged , handing me a classic Mocha. Out of all three , Pia is closer to me , since we were friends since kindergarten , and also ex- neighbors ( her family moved out) . She is tall and slender , slightly on the darker side , but that works out so well for her. Their is no colour Pia can't rock. And the fact that she studies fashion.
Kaira sips her Americano , and asks ," So , what are your future plans?"
" The same. Join Dad's company. I fact , I just did yesterday. You guys?"
" Law is hard , but it is the Law." Aisha jokes. ( Mortal Instruments , anybody?)
Aisha's studying Law , and she's my study buddy. So many hours we've spent studying together , and we used to compete for every competition with such zeal! But yeah , whatever the results , there were no hard feelings ( sometimes there were) between us.
