FROM THE AUTHOR'S PEN..
Thanda naane thanda naane thanda naane thanda naane
Thaane naane thaanane thane!
As I write my stories on what happened over the 17 day tour with Agnii, Treeonz, kiriaka, Bellaroush, We Hide You Seek and Konstkollectivet, I always remember how all of us would sing this bit of the song aloud, all the time- when someone starts singing, the others would join! For I am singing it in my head right now, while beautiful memories flash in front of me with every word that I am writing right now. This my sound over the top emotional, but I did warn you guys that a huge essay was on its way (I’m not very good with speeches :P) !
My gratitude, love and respect for soul in this trip is immense; never did I imagine that was possible to hug so many people a gazillion times, laugh for 17 days straight clutching my stomach with one hand and wiping my tears with the other, being an exposed victim to crazy accidents and dragging everyone else around me into it..the list goes on and on. Most importantly, I have come to realize that we nurtured each other, watched each of us grow into beautiful human beings right from December 2014 (well earlier with the Agnii guys XD) until now. The feeling of oneness and belongingness is magnetic between everyone!
Every memory is a favorite memory of mine- I think they compete with each other to top the list all the time. The impact that everyone has made on me is indescribable, going beyond every word in the English dictionary.
I was taken by a pleasant surprise at all the unconditional love and warmth that was given to us, how we had each others’ backs all the time and how we became a part of everyone’s lives. Soon, I got used to this to the extent that now, it feels unusual! The late night talks with everyone crumpled up in a small area (sleeping on each other, using different body parts as pillows), Konstkollectivet turning into a live in massage parlor (everyone became experts, even I had begun to sit on people! That was ineffective on Subhash, sadly ) the song writing for the Late Night Band (hurray Anna!), performing on stage (whooppiee We Hide You Seek!) , the contact mix of being pampered and bullied by the same people ( :P), new discoveries, dirty talks – UNFORGETTABLE!
We’ve seen almost everyone through thick and thin, at their worst and best, right from the groggy – eyed faces while being waken up in the morning to the crazy charades games till the wee hours again. A lot of us fought tough urges to sleep – some of us won, some lost and Ankita chose the middle option of sleeping in the scene of action (haha XD) . The pace at which we got comfortable was very quick ( a matter of minutes!) , and soon we found ourselves sitting around Anu, waiting for food the Indian way. I also remember how we wanted to go back ‘home’, back to Konstkollectivet after every show of ours ^_^
I still have vivid images if the adrenaline rush we all used to get every time our friends went up on stage to perform, how people would clap for the Agnii sequence even before Arun would do his little crowd clapping activity and how people would cheer for our dance every time like it was the first time. The dance and the music team was effin marvelous- I was so proud and honored to be working with such humble and talented people.
That said, my gratitude to Treeonz and Agnii will be on the top floor forever ( infinity flights of staircases to climb to reach the top floor).
Finally, I just want to say that we are family now. Though I am in another city, away from the rest, I feel that I am closer than ever to all of you ( Arun keeps giving me work to do, so I feel close to him all the time :P Just kidding, Arun). The talisman in my chest burns bright from all the radiance emanating from each and every one of you. We have become dream catchers of our dreams with this incredible tour.
I say no more than the classic-
"Det brinner en eld , den brinner sa klar, den flammar som tusen kransar"
P.S : Forgive me for the 750 word essay, and don’t cry!! I’ve written this because I feel writing makes the memories live for life J back to my goofy self now XD
Love,
Baby Cow ( I can’t believe I love this name, this is insane)
