I want to know the real meaning of life. I want to know if I can make a difference to others . Would some one be happy if he/she sees me overjoyed or would my loss be unbearable to some one?

She hangs up the phone in hurry, reads the emails 3 times. She's is about to meet a friend in 20 minutes and she is supposed to get ready and leave. Supriya's brain tells her to get the car keys, but she stares at the screen. She whispers to herself ".. you know there is so much meaning to your life, only if you would listen"
She forces herself to look away at her watch. Opps! she has 9 minutes to get to the cafe. She shouts at herself, and rushes to the door. In less then a minute she is out of the house, puts on some hip-hop to get her back in mood and drives out. She's waiting at the red lights, struggling to get some kajal on. Talking to herself "Oh! if i dont put this on, she'll grumble - you look so horribly old" - She says aloud, "Right! - so bye bye to age!" - and she can feel the man in the next car staring at her; she turns asks him, " So well do you think i look 33" The man gives her a sweet smile and winks. Before he could say anything its green.

Supriya is meeting her college mate at cafe amoretti. It's a dinner that she has been waiting for 2 weeks now. But at this moment she would have preferred to call Rehan and talk to him. REHAN - she thinks, "Do you have the slightest idea i dont eat chillies?" - those were her first words to him 6 years ago. She was 4 drinks down, hungry and fuming when she first met Rehan at a freshers party. Rehan was shocked, he stared with a grumpy face at Akanksha and signed "who is she ?" He got a snarl back, and almost screaming as the music was really loud Akanksha said "My friend from school" - She's getting into the design college here, will be with me till she finds a place.

Supriya is 27, a freelance visualiser at ArtLAUNCH. She's used to be a photographer and before that a producer for a television company. She's too impulsive to stay in one place for more than a year and her friends and family wonder what has kept her at ArtLAUNCH for 2 and half years. Her parents live in London, they visit every 6 months just to check on the house and the huge family - where some or the other person is getting married or delivering a baby or is sick and dying. Those are the lone days when Sup's is at home by 9pm, has dinner at home and meets the rest of the family.
