Friends they play different role every day in your life. You love them, hate them, miss them but cannot live in a world without them. This article is dedicated to some of my friends without whom my life would be less interesting and also because there is a funny story how I became friends with them.
Neha AKA “Kiddo”:- Seven years and still counting. In class of 150 on the first day of junior college she was the only voice that got my attention and I managed to know her name which incidentally helped me to borrow biology notes from her since I knew her name and could ask her. In seven long years since then we have been through thick and thin. I still call her a kid and planning to give her a special award for listening to me for so many years and still been sane. Perhaps the only person who can read my mind and that’s special given the fact that my brain never sleeps.
Moments: hmm there are many but perhaps my surprise visit to her when I landed unannounced in Pune.
Little known fact: We have never attended each other birthdays.
Priyanka AKA “Pri” AKA ”Babes”:- She though I was aloof and may be a touch arrogant since I kept forgetting her name and kept calling her by some other name(that’s y two nicknames for her).
We got to know each other while working on a white paper contest. The fact is I wasn’t in the original team and came in because they were one person short .She is my eternal girlfriend. We love to argue. Given a choice she would kill me because I irritate her so much. But all beautiful girls have beautiful heart and so I am still alive…
Moments: The birthday party we friends threw for her 20th birthday. The smile on her face was worth all the effort. One of my best surprise parties till date.
Little known fact: She is my Self appointed relationship advisor.
Prajwal AKA “Praj” AKA “My Devil twin ”:- If this was 70’s, then we would have been part of Manmohan Desai classic of two brothers lost in a mela and meeting after 21 years. I always knew him as priyanka’s friend but Goa trip last summer actually changed this. His home is now my weekend getaway. We discuss everything right from girls to our first love Manchester United. There are very few people whom I respect and he is one of them. It needs courage to walk on road less travel. The fact that he is running his own small firm is no mean achievement by any accounts.
Moments: The Goa trip. Matches in which Man United wins.
Little known fact: We can read each others thoughts.
Karishma AKA “Superwoman”:- Well we were a part of a team of more than 50 people who were involved in organizing a technical fest at inter city level. In all the two months of preparation our path never crossed and we actually met for the first time at the reunion a year later. The first time we met she thought I was arrogant. One of the very few people I enjoy talking to. Has an amazing sense of humor.
Moments: The first time we met.
Little known fact: Love making greeting cards for friends...
Raisa AKA “Moufflou”:- I hate going to social gatherings and especially where I know no one. So after saying no to dad that I won’t accompany him to his Bangalore trip I don’t know what made me change my mind especially since if I decide something I hardly go back. One of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Even though she lives on a different continent and a different time zone our journey till now has been fun. Multi talented and a drama queen.
Moments: The surprise birthday present I made for her. Bangalore trip.
Little known fact: Thought I hated her at first...
Well the fact remains what ever first impression I may have had on them they have realized over a period of time that someone like me is rare and even though they would like if I can keep my mouth shut they love me nevertheless…
