Frendz...

I have been living away from home for almost six years now and came across a wide spectrum of people. With some of them I have shared all my dilemmas, joys, fears and tears. They have made a lot of positive difference to my life and I have learnt some of the most valuable lessons from them. I would like to thank all of them and tell them that they are very special and important to me. I was planning to write this post for a long time but it was getting deferred for no reason what so ever. Finally a few events that I witnessed as we welcomed New Year made me feel that I might not get a chance to pen a thank you for all these wonderful friends who have made such a positive difference and decided to start typing.

1)Doctor: I have known this dude for almost 6 years now, someone whom I can trust completely. His smile is really infectious and can brighten up anyone’s day. To say that he is very popular with the opposite sex is to put things mildly. But for him I would have never learned what diplomacy is and how it can be positively used. Thanks for teaching, for showing me what music is and how one can get high on it, for sharing all those tough times and for everything.


2)Commando: Well our association has not been that long but in the brief time I have really come to know a very thinking, caring human being. Even at the risk of sounding mushy I would say I was really touched by what I saw of you when Vishnu was leaving. It’s just not possible to have a friend like him. A black belt and a fitness freak his love for bikes is second only to his friends. Buddy thanks for being there.


3)JD: Well they call him that for reasons I don’t wish to discuss here but he is the one who initiated me into long distance bike riding. The first follower of this blog, he has been with me in most of the crimes. How can I ever forget all the late night trips to MG with him. Dude come back to Bangalore and we will party harder this time around.


4)Rocky: Well he is definitely rocky style. Has a sense of humor that no one can beat. Easy going and fun loving I can just about talk anything to him and he listens it out, at times no matter how crazy.


5)Mota: One of the coolest heads that I have known. He has been a perfect sounding board for so many of my ideas now. Someone who has helped me see a completely different picture of things and situations in tight situations. Have seen some rough patches in the relationship with him but I feel that really helped in the longer run.


6)“Do you think I am dumb, deaf or dud?”: Have known her for long and also not known her for long. Like any association there are obviously good and not so good memories. But then I sure owe it to her for teaching me so many things, the list is long and positive and I am not being sarcastic. It has been great to have known you and shared all those moments.

7)Rulz: Well no rules for her but then she rules wherever she goes. I am yet to come across someone as honest and in the face as her. The fact that she can give a call and genuinely congratulate you and then say that she feels equally jealous is simply stunning. Thanks for being so honest.
