Orange Bubbles!!

Few weeks back, a small circle of friends were to spend our evening near the mighty sea.
More than the joy of meeting old friends after quite a long time, the evening was amusingly pleasant, with the orange sun leaving a tinge of it on the vast sky...yupee..that was a serene sight..i cldnt just describe the beauty of it with my words..I m afraid that i may lose the original picturesque magnificience..So let me call Wordsworth to portray the scene....

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquillity;
The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea

We had to walk back with fond memories filling our hearts and minds.. This post is not about the pleasant time we had..On the way back, my friends wanted to have some cool drinks to quench their thirst.So we stepped into the juice shop..Everyone ordered some juice of their choice..As usual ,I asked for a bottle of fanta..The waiter showed a big glee saying that it was not available.
My buddy insisted me to order some other drink..But na..I wont..So i remained silent with a long face...Padma expected this and asked me why i am so particular about this drink..Few other friends knew how much i am spellbound by fanta because they were with me in all the treats and parties we had together ..and fanta was my usual choice in all those...Whenever someone offers to get me something, i would always go for this orange bottle..At times, i may pester a few other friends to get me one so that i remember them all thro' my life ...
I turned dumb to Padma's question because my pleasant mood changed like the polluted air...
The next day, after she knew that i am back to my spirits, sent a mail stating the ill effects of taking soft drinks..I felt happy to have such a nice sincerely caring friend..
All my life, i have stayed clear what soft drinks may lead to.... But now after first few fears that i nudged away ever so gently and i got to believe that they are stuffs taken by me without imperiling my life..the mysteries behind my belief, i need to untangle..

But for that...I m quite sure that my fav drink makes this insipid youth(krish) into calling for greater minds(excited self) and to new beginnings whenever i have a sip of it!! A mature adult(padma) warns me some mystical curse...But the spell is cast and i sip enchanted,my secrets masked in shapeless orange bubbles...

Life,on a broader perspective rests on a set of groundless beliefs - things you take for your life without knowing why you have to.. Like your faith in God, Like a blind faith in love... These simple tunes keep you going - like unquestioned traditions in every day life. For no rhyme or reason, I decided to believe in orange bubbles... and I discovered heaven!!!

P.S: Whoever reads this,dont forget to get me a bottle of fanta.Thanks in advance :-)

That was 'seriously' funny. As you point out,sometimes we do take some of our beliefs very seriously..
