One hour, forty minutes.

Today's conversation was amazing at so many levels. We were just getting to know each other. It was plain awesome.

In a very long time, I think, I've had intellectual conversations with someone. Our conversations are so thought provoking. Talking to him is a breath of fresh air.

I just want to remember the whole of it someday and be awestruck by what we said to each other. So I'm just going to write the things we talked about for my reference. They may not make sense to the reader. But then again, no one reads this blog anyway.

"See that's why I don't do timetables."

"You haven't mastered the art of making timetables. You need to be flexible with them. You need to be okay with not following them everyday. Play and dance with them. Make them work for you. You don't have to tick them off like a checklist."

"You're so nice. The way you explain everything."

"Sometimes I feel like I have lost passion in studying and I don't even know what I am studying."

"You know when there's a boring subject, like PSM or ophthalmology, and before I start the topic, I think about it. Say cataract. Oh wow, so they can cure cataract now and I don't know how. Isn't it amazing how technology has advanced. And I am going to pretend to be interested in it, even when I am not. You have to fake it, till you make it."

"I am just staring at the tree and feeling so calm."

"I know, right? You could see the tree all day but you don't see it. And then when you do, it's brilliant."

"Isn't it amazing how the human mind can bring this one thought and make you feel so good. And the other minute, it goes away?"

"And that's what I don't get when people say that they're bored."

"Maybe I am not trying to fight people. I am just trying to protect myself. That's why I go all out on people when I'm on the stage. It's not about them, it's about me."

"You're protecting your vulnerability inside by being unbreakable on the outside."

"I accept you."

"I didn't ask you to. Did I ask for your acceptance?"

"I accept you, anyway. You can't do anything about it."

"Why do you accept me? Look at the way I spoke to you yesterday."

"Yes, but I think it made me grow so much as a person. I will not remember how you spoke to me but I'll remember the lesson it thought me."

"I assume the best in everybody. I hope it's not a bad thing."

"I don't know. As long as it doesn't harm you."

"You know, in our house.. I mean, in my house."

"I just loved you said my house, it just takes the pressure off."

"Oh I realized that when I was talking to Sakina yesterday.."

"Some people just bloom where they are planted. Then it doesn't matter whether they're in KEM or Sion or a private college in Nashik."

"My working hard is hard."

"I have so many privileges and if I can't sit and study, Khuda will be like I wasted all my resources on him."

"I am not telling you to exhaust yourself in house work, do the little things. If I can't dry my clothes and fold them, then what am I doing? It's said that ghar nu kaam karvasi hum ghum door thai che."

"Yes, I know. When my help doesn't come and I wash the utensils myself, I feel so good. Now I know why. You amaze me, like when I think I know everything about you, you tell me something amazing and I am amazed again."

"You're not a complete waste, nothing about you is, actually."

"Dr. Najeeb is at a level of knowledge where language or accents don't matter. I want to be that."

"You should update yourself with the news. How are you going to strike a conversation with people from different backgrounds?"

"But I just get to know things so I don't feel the need to look for knowledge to impress people, but when I will feel the need, I will."

"I used to, when I was in school."

"There's so much to know about you."

"You are such a quick learner. You're ready to improve and change."

"I guess she's a good teacher and a good student."

"You are a quote."

"I want to be at that level where it has gone inside your brain so many times that you can make an error or say something wrong."

"There are some teachers that are so passionate in your college. You look at them and they inspire to be great."

"I think what's worse is that people don't appreciate the fire in other people. Whatever they do, they're good at it."

"I don't think that there's even one thing that I don't like about you."

"Yet."

"Oh you still think I am in the honeymoon phase? You must have realized by now that there's no phase for me. Take for example yesterday, when I disagree with something, I don't care which phase it is."

"You do like everything about a person in the honeymoon phase, but I don't think you do it consciously. That's the only explanation I can give to myself on why you took 20 days to realize that you don't like my past."

"Yes, but I accept it completely now."

"Do you? Because I think it's a 70-30% and I'm okay with it."

"I am glad I can tell you because who else am I going to talk to?"

"Koi waat karwane jove che. That's what the husband and wife relationship is about. Because the age difference will prevent you from telling things to your parents and somethings are too private to be shared with friends."

"Maybe I could talk to my friends, but I'll tell them that a friend's girlfriend.."

"I love that about you. You won't reveal my wounds make me vulnerable in front of the crowd. You will hide and nurse my wounds."

"Kona aeb ne choparso toh khuda tamara aeb ne chuparse."
