what makes me happy...

In every peer group, there's politics. there's
bitching and backbiting and then turning around
and hiding those fiercely sharp talons under soft
smiles and hollow camaraderie. and it's not just
us girls...the guys are as bad, worse even. they're
brutally competetive. sometimes it led me to
wonder...is it just a fleeting fancy that draws a
group of people together or is there something
deeper?then it all changed. i found a group that was
honest to me, as a person. there was constructive
criticism alongwith an easy manner and a warm
sense of belonging. sure there were moments
when one was singled out for a while, but
mistakes were accepted and time brought us
closer.

This is my core now and i have grown as a
person, as an individual with creative potential.

it's support and wit and the feeling that there's
always something to achieve that makes them
some of the warmest people i know. they help me
with my personal battles that have dented my
armour and keep me laughing when jealousies are
eating me up from the inside.

We write street plays and poems, jingles and one
act plays. we explore all that we have in us.

sharing ambitions, laughing at our own follies,
"crushing on" the same seniors, loving "...long
chats, b'day bumps, bunking classes, fight for
marks, tears for love...".

That sense of belonging and harmony is what i
define as my share of heaven, right here, where i
am!
