Tala & Dani

It is a story i wrote a couple of years ago. It's a true story though :

Tala a cute brunette girl , a bit shy when she meets new people. But once you tell her your name, she will never forget you.. She holds her mp3 with her and puts her favorite song for Avril Lavigne..( "Hey hey i can be your girlfriend hey")…And starts singing it…..After that, she shifts to another pop song.


She likes teasing me. She even sometimes likes to ignore me when I come, so that I approach her and play with her...

Sometimes, I used to come but she would be sleeping , so i used to watch her in her deep nap calmly, with her blond hair covering her forehead and eyes. You can realize clearly that kids are God's angels when they sleep.

Tala told me about him once, how they played together, and how he gave her his own toys…I sensed her happiness when she talked about him. She smiles and says: “Dani, Yes Dani. He always play with me cards and he always let me win!!"


The first thought that came rushing to my mind was :"Oh Dani lets her win then ! Then, most probably, he’s my age, a grown up, not a six-seven year old boy! ." He was not then a naughty little boy who likes teasing girls of his age. He was not a boy who wants all his toys for himself and nobody else to share them with.


But I wanted to inquire about this “Dani”... .She always talks about him... I felt curious , maybe a bit jealous...So, I asked her: “Tala, does he wear like me, like this blue coat??”.

She replied laughing at my face, as if saying to me you are so wrong: “No, Dani is in the other room!”


I was so struck by this mere idea that he was in the room beside the playroom…Then he was after all a six years old boy…. He suffered like her.


Until one day came and I met him playing with her…..My body shivered and my stomach ached.


They shared the same fate, not just the games…

Friends they were.


The untainted form of friendship…

Friends....& Flavors

Friends are like flavors. (Well am back to relating life to food. I like this relation ).


They are many types and several tastes. Some are sweet.Honey-like.They enter your life in a smooth way and stay there leaving a good after taste. But if there sweetness exceeded, you will get bothered! :P


Others are salty . They are "extractors". They let see you your worst and your best. These friends are good to be around with for sometimes and other times you try to avoid them because they tell you the cutting truth and you dont like to hurt your feelings !


While some friends are bitter. Well, this kind are the nagging type of people, they impose a negative taste in your life. The only good thing about these people is that you can recognize them from the beginning and literally "escape" them during a conversation, a dinner or anytime you spot them near.


Maybe the last flavor, is the sour. At first, they look delicious and sweet but then you have this annoying , sharp biting taste. You realize they are not really nice ! & you realize they are not your friends...or you cant befriend them!




Ofcorse there are other flavors like Umami ( which are the tasty ones) .They make everything in your life great , they boost your morals , your dreams and your hopes)..They are saporific, and are certainly full of flavor (flavorsome)…


There are also the spicy ones. Some of them chill you others just irritate you. You have to choose.


And there are the "astringent" friends! They might be similar to the sour , however, they leave some physical harm .


And yes there are the ZESTY people! They have all the vivid, spicy, piquant, utterly savory ; they are invigorating, stimulating, fresh and reviving. They are never soothing or dull!


We all have these kinds of friends around us!! If we didnt , our life would have been very boring and routine.
Imagine that you are tasting or eating the same plate every single day ! Would you like it that way?


This leads me to the conclusion.Yes. life is all about gustatory experiences !. You have to taste everything but make sure that you are delicate when choosing. Otherwise, you might get a food poisoning or a food allergy! ;)
