I have been itching to write on this particular topic for a
long long time. and I could not have found a better day to tell them, all of
them that how much they mean to me. I call them my life’s support system. I
call them without any reason and the best part is that they stick to me through
all the seasons. They are the sunshine of my Life. A part of each of them lives
inside me and a part of me lives inside them. I am what I am because of them.
So let me take u all on a journey and let me introduce to u all my friends:
Pratibha Khemka
My Best Friend
The word Best Friend has traumatized my childhood. Never did
I have a Best Friend and everyone around me had one, so I used to have major
cravings for one Best Friend, and then God gifted me with the Bestest Gift and
Pratibha came in my world. We are direct opposite of each other when it comes
to taste and preference but opposites attracts, we make an awesome duo. We have
been inseparable for years and have shared the ugliest secret about ourselves. I
call her my education as she has taught me the value of money and life. We have
awesome telepathy always working for each other and she is the one person who
can understand my silence too. We have a pact of dancing till lights are out
and surely we are each others Best Dancing Partner. The World would have been
incomplete and desperately boring if she would not have been there. Morning
walks, ice cream walks, shopping walks, talking walks, we have never run out of
walks and talks. Though now miles apart the bond is still strong and I hope
this remains life long.

Savitri
My Sister from other Mother
When I say this phrase I mean it from the bottom of my
heart. She is my soul sister and no matter how angry I am with her actions or
words, I just tend to melt at the moment we meet or talk again. She has been my
support system my patient ear. She has brought discipline in my life and has
inculated some sense of timing in me. She is always on for any crazy thing on
my list. Actually I think after staying with me for a while she herself has
become little crazy. And Boy! we can talk like really talk, we like discussing
everything from people to career, from habits to future husbands, from money to
rubbish. No wonder we never get bored of each other. We have promised to become
Business Partner some day and I l promise to honor it one day. She has the
world’s most comforting hug
Pooja Pajji is what I love to call her. She is my partner in
misery as we bear the pain of two same mountains. She is my coochi-koo, ever
happy, happy go lucky friend. In school, used to make her study at midnight
over the phone and now we always end up calling each other when we want to
bitch about anyone on earth. I love teasing her for her slow speed and her bad
habit of not willing to walk much. We understand each others sarcasm just
perfectly and I love it. Pooja is bindass and a as well as homely creature and my
ultimate dirty dancer (Pooja remember Beedi Jaliyele and Billo Rani).
Vidhi’s name on my phone is Veeedheee, a name given by some classmate nevertheless it has remained with me since then. In school we have had fought the same demon
together called Mathematics. She has recently become real girly lady type and I
cannot disclose the reason here. When it comes to cards and creativity nobody
can touch her. She makes amazing pastas and bake dish (puts dollops of butte in
them). I had this notion that friendship once starined never gets to what it
was before but Vidhi has proved me wrong because we have become even better
friends now.
Paromita Ma'am was responsible for our friendship as our
friendship flourished as seat partners. She has been again one of my oldest
friend but we really got to know each other in class 8. We had a lot in common
like our love for studies, projects, tests and exams. We would attempt the same
question n options even if we were sitting two corners of the class. We even changed
schools together. Our thoughts and frequency were in sync almost all the time.
We have had the best times together
A wicked smile comes to my face when I think of her. I have
always hit off excellently with all my friends, ditto with her too. We met
first time in college and our chords struck together so well that people used
to think we knew each other from before. She is the ultimate cook who I really look
up she makes lip smacking saliva
drooling pasta. She has a kick ass attitude towards life and I love it. We have
had joyful scooty rides. She has taught me hookah and various uncensored
things. My BBM is alive because of her. My weekends remains incomplete if I
don't meet her. She has become my ultimate partner in crime
My first friend in school, we were seat partners in Class 1
and friends from then, it been 17 long years (yes I’m Bragging) now I call her
Baby Neha , not because of her height but because of her under developed
brains. I still remember in class we used to crack the simplest double meaning
jokes and she would blankly stare and would ask to explain, this is her sheer
innocence. We may not be in touch for months but when it comes to catching up
again, we always pick up from the place we left.
My aries twin, we have too much in common especially our
trait of forgetfulness which by the way I have overcome but she is still stuck
there(sorry anu)(joke tha). We met through pratibha. Anu n really bonded during
the time of Prati’s marriage. She is sweet very caring and an expert when it
comes to quotations and cards. She has the patience of a saint and she is saint
types in many ways. She is always confused but I love to clear that out
whenever given a chance. We had a Ball in delhi and there is a walk to remember
between us. Anu I hope u remember it!
When I used to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S, I used to wonder will I
ever find a set of friends similar to them, yes indeed I found them, my version
of F.R.I.E.N.D.S - Juice, PD, Maggi, Sunny n Ritesh. We are fun we are
hilarious we are cheap we are sophicticated we are studious we are irritating,
all at the same time we all have had a great time together giving mocks in ims
class, pulling each other;s leg later, giving all mba entrance exams together,
endless hookhak sesiions, pooja pandal hopping , early morning breakfast
sessions bon appetite karoke sessions we have done it all in such short span of
time. A very memorable journey indeed.
P.S I think I haven't told you guys so I will take dis
opportunity, I loved the surprise that you all gave me on my 2012 bday, I
wasn't expecting you all and it was wonderful to see the full gang that too
early in the morning.. You guys made me feel realy special.. Thank u!!
Office Friends- Poonam Soumen Da Soumita Di
Poonam.. I never believed that friendships can develop in
small tym but then they say its not how long u have know each other, its how
much u know each other. I had promised myself that in office I wont make good
friends as to keep professional and personal life separate but then u came in
and changed all of it. We chatted, hardly worked, shared everything, did
everything together and it was nothing but terrific to sum it up. Poonam is one
girl who is extremely caring and will go the extra mile too just to make u feel
special. Privilige to be yopur friend.
Soumen Da. Wat can I say about him, he knows way too much
about me and the best part is he is never judgemental I thank Supreme that he
brought him in my life, he is ever caring again with a patiemt ear, he has done
his goof ups and confided even I have. He loves his sweets and fish. We might
not be still working at the same place but we surely stay connected and
updated.
Soumita Di. My right hand in office, an extremely talented
poet, her passion is to make collages and surely she showers me with so many of
them. She is very helpful and caring and I swear I had never thought we will
become such good friends. She keeps on motivating me and helps me to bring the
best out of me. Now she is about to leave office and I will miss her a lot!
I love his nickname but he hates it so better I don't use it! He loves being called as Jay. I tell you he is one hard working guy with full of morals and manners and ethics. He is fun to talk to even funnier to text with. The craziest thing we have done together is watched two back to back movies and we intend to make that 3 back to back movies someday.
We have had more fights than fun but my college life’s
begining was marked with their friendship we have had good times and I would
love to see the good part of it. We have had an insane time together with lots of time spent in Anuja's PG doing utter
nonesense talks. They have made my bdays in college fabulously memorable
something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Still in touch with Anuja and
we are on n off at tyms. She is a lil crack and it surely suits her too!!
Aarti Bharti Shreya Acharya Chunnu
I say their name in one go and in this particular order because I love it. They were my first proper group of friends. A mix of seniors and junors all staying in one locality and we surely rocked our school bus. Acharya was always the centre of jokes but damn sporting, Aarti was too simple to understand all this and Chunnu never stopped cursing and Bharti Shreya used to be there in their own sweet world only but we were a fun bunch and have created riots and stuck by each each through thick and thin.. Its been almost 10 long years and now some are getting married. Its been a long journey with them and I can bet it is an endless one
And I would like to dedicate this which is my favorite
friendship songs to all of you….
So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love
life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your
month, or even your year.
But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts
to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there
before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me
too.
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY
