memories of a shooting star and more....

Was just looking out of my balcony a while ago.......and the first thing my eyes encountered was a bright blue star....and it brought back a memory ...the memory of a shooting star...My friends sonya , sapna and I....were sitting on the terrace...wasting time....almost DIL CHAHTA HAIN style(the scene where the trio is in goa...aamir khan sitting on the wall and the other two looking at the distant ship)....While we were just talking...about some stupid stuff,as we always do when we meet, sonya and I happened to look at the sky at the same instant.....and we saw some bright light shooting in our direction.Neither of us had seen something like this before...except on the discovery channel...but that was on t.v and this was for real.At first we thought it was a cracker of some sort.....but there were no signs of smoke. We just looked at each other and exclaimed..'did you see that thing??'....we were then sure we weren't dreaming but we had just seen a shooting star for the first time in our lives!.....we were so excited....while each of us closed our eyes and made our secret wishes...sapna looked on.The poor girl....had missed it!...and she wasn't feeling good about it....her face reflects every mood of hers...even in the darkness of the night one could tell how much she wanted to see that star.Since that day every time we went up on the terrace...we and specially sapna would look out for shooting stars...so that she could make her wish too.....To her dismay..she..as far as I know....has never really seen a shooting star!.......It felt really magical back then....I wondered if the wishes made when you see a shooting star really come true....and although I don't remember the many wishes I managed to make in those few minutes....one of them had actually come true.....or may be it was just a coincidence.The other wish ,I remember was a 'long term' wish....the details of which I would not like to disclose.....Anyway...it was a great experience(I know ...might just sound silly for some...).Sonya has now shifted to some other place.We recently met...about two days ago.She's got her nose and ears pierced...ewwwww!...I mean ears....is ok....but getting your nose pierced??.....that's gross!...I must admit though ...she looked pretty good with that nose ring....but how do people manage it?....You know what I mean,don't you?....The thought of some piece of metal going right through you nose.....just freaks me out!...I'd never do that ....not even someone paid me to do it!....We(me sonya and guddi ) talked and walked for a while and then we parted off...laughing at some of my pj's!...just like the old times ,when we would meet almost every single day.Not a single incident of our lives was ever a secret..we'd just talk about any crap on this earth....and roll with laughter....over stupid things.All of us have become busy these days...me with my engineering,guddi with the phone-talks....lolz,sapna with her job and sonya's just moved away....But we do talk to each other and keep in touch....and that feels so good....we still gossip,bitch about others,keep ourselves updated about each others life....and more than anything we still laugh our heads off at the stupidest joke ever when we are together!
