Turtly

The turtle dances!

My friend Alexa send over a turtle for her morning greetings. I burst out laughing at a hippy turtle dancing his lisp-version of Gasolina. I feel happy for a moment only to be spiralling down the drain of loneliness. I miss my friends in Dubai. And right now I specially missed my gay friend Danielle. After gulps of large cans of Red Horse & shots of tequila courtesy of our friend who dropped by Dubai Duty Free , she sits immobile. She stared half-dazed at the rest of us in the circle toying with scattered peels of lime and cigarette butts. Someone grabbed a cd and we hear the opening notes of "Gasolina". Danielle sprungs up and dances wildly much to our glee. Another birthday wasted, another good day with friends etched in memory..sigh..
