There is something you must all know. Something about how Aquiline came into being in this Forum.
In the beginning, not in the WAY beginning, but somewhere around late 2011, A met A.
IPKKND brought them closer and so did talks of FAITH.
Then one fine day, Second A enrolled herself as member of the land called the IPK Forum through the door named Desibubbly. First A didn't want to involve herself in something that was worldly and too unsafe. But gradually, in her attempts to share her thoughts with the rest of the lovers of IPK, First A was left with no choice but to express herself. Second A understood this silent longing of First A and gave her the key to opening the door that Second A had found. The name of the door was desibubbly. Yup. That was the first username of Aquiline. Second A let desibubbly be adopted by Aquiline, and then Second A withdrew to become Aura. Aura is the reason why Aquiline is here in the Forum. Aura encouraged Aquiline to break her silence and brave the virtual world of this Forum...But it all began with Desibubbly.
Desibubbly, the beginning of Aura and Aquiline. Desibubbly, the cradle of Aquiline and Aura. Desibubbly, the mask worn by Aquiline and Aura. Desibubbly, the Anjali who brought Kushi and Lavanya in Arnav's life...
With a tribute to the hastily-created username Desibubbly, Aquiline here pauses to take a deep breath before turning to her very special friend, Aura, to tell her...
I am not going to speak much. I will just give you verses we know of...
Chapman's Cinderella. This was the first song you mentioned to me among the many others you loved. I have done my little bit to make this song bring music to your special day…..
She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here
Watching her love the world in her own way…..
She's pulling at me
Saying "I need you to help me!
There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
I need to practice my dancing
Won't you please sing for me!"
So I will sing for Cinderella
While she dances before me
'Cause I know something the prince never knew,
Oh I will sing for Cinderella,
I don't want to blink as she moves about the ballroom
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll have to stop dancing…..
But so lost was I in her dancing and so lost was she in my song,
That we didn't notice time fly by on its swam-like wings,
We heard the rumble of clock and it struck twelve times
And the walls around us came crumbling down.
I stood up, shocked, but stared at the sight before me
For even though I had stopped singing, even though the ballroom was no longer there,
Cinderella kept dancing, dancing away...
And so, I will sing for Cinderella,
Watching her dance before me….
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will sing for Cinderella
Standing among the debris and the rising dust of the broken Castle,
'Cause though the clock will strike midnight
She'll not stop…….dancing away With Eternity…..my Dearest Dick.
I know your birthday is incomplete without the One Person Who keeps us happy and connected always. And here He is!!
And now, one last song from me. Not just from me but from ALL our Comrades and friends whom we met in this virtual world and of whom we talk of in our everyday talks...Because these friends we made here are real to us. Real and God-given.
I'm sure
we were friends
before we met,
and that
some measure
of what I am,
comes from you.
On a distant star,
our souls,
each with a single
virtue, must've
touched and drew,
one from the other,
a quality not common
before.
Your gift
mingled with
the essence of me
and created
a new sensation
to share.
We knew nothing
of our times before,
until our paths crossed
and our hearts exchanged
in this bond of sisterly love….
Aura, I love you. You know how hard it must be for me to put that sentence in words and to speak it from my heart. You know me well by now to understand that it is hard for me to use that word but that when I use it, I mean it. Now, come here so I can give you a hug.
Remember, my dear Aura (my dear Dick)...you are special to me and you always will be. I am thankful to GOD every moment of my life that He let you wander into my college despite your deep dislike for the merciless institution. I am thankful that you are alive and here with me. I know you will always be there for me to lean my heart against in my trying moments and I pray that I will be there for you too. You mean a lot to me because of who you are...
My Soul Sister for Real.
Once again, on behalf of all our friends and Comrades,
