My "Bestest" Friend

I'v been sitting on my laptop for the past 30 minutes now,with the "create post" option in front of me..waiting to write down a new post...but all I have been doing instead is messaging my best friend who just left manipal after a 5 day trip from bangalore an hour ago.... And,therefore,I finally decided to write this blog post about her.....So,baby,this ones for you.. :)

Me and Disha have been best friends for 17 years now...yes 17 long years...phew...seems like a lot huh?? I remember we first became friends in kindergarten..running around the premises,looking at the birds and animals in the mini zoo at school.... :) And one fine day she went away...to another school..I was heartbroken but managed to survive for one entire year there making new friends...never even thinking that we would ever meet again... But as fate would have it,I changed school the next year..and my welcome to class on the first day turned out to be an amazing surprise when I saw Disha walking up to me in P.T class(yes,i remember all the details!!)and asking me "tum mayuri ho na?"..hehehe!! And so,our friendship started all over again....

And is continuing till now....We'v been the closest of friends for so long now..and I'm so glad I have her by my side :)

Both of us have had the most awesome times together in school and outside...Have had very few fights(*touchwood*)..Played stupid pranks-things like sitting inside the car..shouting out "PAPA","UNCLE"..to any random person crossing us and then hiding beneath the seat!! or catching hold of two mosquitoes,slapping them dead,and then supposedly dissecting them,and deciphering their age,sex,gender...and even cremating them according to their caste..!!!(twas damn funny!!!)..Man! We'v fallen in and out of love at nearly the same time...Shared a huge crush on Hrithik Roshan together(she finally giving in to my eternal love for him though..!!)..Even shared the pains of not clearing the competitive exams in the first attempt and dropping for a year.......:(

And what not...

*sigh* how I miss the good old times we shared......

Well,its been nearly a year now since we'v both settled down in our respectives colleges..Life has changed a lot...I now meet her only once a year..but we are still the same.... :)

I know i can still call her up at any odd hour of the day(or night!!) and discuss my problems or just listen to her speak about what all is going on in her life...She has been with me through thick and thin,listening to me patiently...advising me on the huge number of problems i keep on having ;)...blabbering random shit about random people..and so much more... :)

And thats why I was soooo glad when she decided to come down to manipal for diwali..Ihad an amazing time with her these 5days..we caught up on all the lost times,chatting day in and day out...just like old times.. :) She left today and all this while has been messaging from the bus asking me to take care and stay good..(so very typical of her..!!)..

I had been feeling a little low ever since she left,and so I decided to dedicate this blogpost to her.. :)

So,..here goes.....

Thank you for being there for me always...I really need your friendship..Its something I treasure the most...Thank you for being my FRIEND....

Already missing you. :) Can't wait to see you in december again..... :)

Girl,you completely ROCK!! Way to go...... loads of love :) :) :)

"KARVA-CHAUTH"

I just witnessed the funniest sight ever in my hostel life...(specifically "hostel life"..because otherwise my hostel is full of really "intellectually refined" 1st year students..studying most of the time ,realizing the fact that scoring good marks in the 1st year is a piece of cake...and..umm..in the 2nd year..well...dont even ask!!)..
Anyways,so..me and my roommate had just finished dinner and we were both at the wash basin washing our hands,looking at the mirror and discussing about one of our classmates' orkut profile and his "about me"(which,btw,is hilarious as well..!!Seems like all funny things are coming to light today..!!)...Across our corridor I could see a goup of 7-8 girls standing and talking at the top of their voices...We felt a tad bit irritated because their voices were loud enough to reach upto our room and I had finally succeeded in bringing myself to start studying for the impending exams from next thursday...So,we graciously ignored them and came back to the room.I had just started writing a blog post on a completely different topic..when all hell broke lose.. we suddenly heard the same group of girls going "ohhhhhhooooo....."(in typical girly style!!)...and then came the "grand finale"-
"I LOVE YOU ABHISHEK!!!"
I rushed out of the room thinking that some lucky "Abhishek" fellow had been proposed by one of our group of girls.....and guess what I instead came across.......???
Lo behold! Right in front of my eyes...I saw one of my hostel junior dolled up in a Red saree...with full make-up on....bangles in the hand...and God only knows what else...standing in the corridor,in conversation with her "Abhishek" on the phone..and.......(here comes the best part.....!!!......*drumroll*......)breaking her KARVA-CHAUTH FAST..!!! Annddd...I'm not done yet....one of her friends holding a "thaali" with all "teeka" n stuff(really dont know wat all you are supposed to keep in that "thaali"!)ready for her.....all the while our main protagonist for the hour,blushing and going beet root red on the phone..(guess her Abhishek must be telling her that he could picture her in a saree even on the phone,and complementing her on how pretty she must be looking..or maybe telling her that even he had kept a fast for her...hehehe!! :) : ) )
I couldnot stop laughing and immediately called my roommate....and ever since the both of us have called up everybody we know and described to them vividly this hilarious event....!!!
This was seriously good fun..I desperately needed it amidst all the exam tension and the other bull shit in life..
God bless the girl for providing cheer in our monotonous lives...I hope and pray to God she has many such Karva chauths in her life...May she and Abhishek have a "happily-ever-after life"..!!
(Ohhh....Manipal amazes me every single day...!!!!!)
Anyways..have my exams from next thursday...gotta go study....:( :(

Till then.....here's wishing you all a very HAPPY KARVA-CHAUTH..!!

???Feeling Crappy....

Just came back after a movie...ROCK ON! to be more precise..(yes,yes..i know,i know...i watched it AGAIN...!!!!!!)Anyways,it was being screened at our college quadrangle as a part of our post tech-fest events....Yesterday was DARK KNIGHT...And tomorrow is the closing ceremony of the fest,so more about that later...
I'm writing this blog right now because of two main reasons:
a)I realized it's been long since I wrote anything;
b)I have been feeling really crappy from the past one week and just needed to vent out all the frustration that's been nagging me all this while...I had a major argument with my closest friends here last week..and things have been bad ever since....I dont know if the problem is because of the fact that off late the three of us(me and my two buddies)have been spending almost all the time we can get together...and we'r running out of things to say....or maybe because somewhere down the line there is something wrong with me that I'm actually thinking of all such crap...
Anyways,this post is leading me nowhere...have a few things to figure out..and a few more things to put right....Hope the week ends with everything sorted out....and hope I get back my peace of mind,which at this point of time is completely evading me.....
And also hope that my next post will be a more cheerful one with an explanation of all that has gone wrong and has to be put right...soon....
Till then...
Adios.....
