To all my friends on friendship day!

My life would have been so colorless without you. You have been with me since my childhood days; we remain ‘childhood friends’ any day!

My oldie gangsters! That was one rocking phase. All those full moon night walks and birthday bashes and choir practices. We rocked big time!

I met you in high school in some inter-school competition, and you ended up becoming one of my best friends. I’m blessed to have you near me even today.

It was another competition we were preparing for…we became friends….and even after nearly 10 years of not seeing you, you still make me smile.

I keep wishing I had you as my friend in my growing up years. I feel good about myself when I’m with you. Near or far, you are always true.

I met you guys in college…we became best friends…we rarely get in touch now but I know when we meet we can pick up where we left and that I will always be special to you.

And you! I don’t know where you are now…but those letter writing days! I had not even seen you then, but we shared so much…that’s when I started writing and tried to write well, just to impress you. I hope you are well wherever you are.

I traveled with you on one of the best journeys of my life...I don’t know how you are now but I hope you are happy.

You are now overseas with your husband and I know you are happy being married. Just make sure I’m your first-born’s godmother :) I miss you!

My university babes! I enjoyed friendship with you. The real pleasures of shopping, organizing surprise birthday parties, movie watching weeks, pubbing, long post-dinner walks were discovered with you!

My university dudes…I miss those heart-rending intellectual talks over gops ka chai :)
And of course, the yummy food you guys cooked for us!

I met you girls only for a couple of weeks…but you came into my life when I was in need of some “girlie talk.” That was so refreshing! We remain friends for life.

We took it for granted when we were together. I cried when I heard you were not coming back…but now that I know you would…come back soon…we’ll chill out on weekends, talk and dance till we drop. We also have to plan for my b'day…my makeover…there is so much to do!

Each day I discover more of your sweetness and that I can be myself with you...without having to worry if I'm judged or not. My circle of friends isn’t a circle without you.

You are someone I can come to any day for a hug or a cry. You understand me completely and always have the perfect lines for me. I make a fool of myself in front of you and still don’t feel embarrassed. We can talk about anything under the sun…two years of talking and it only gets sweeter.

And you! My latest friend… it’s such a beautiful thing being friends with you…we are so different and yet we can share so much… our silly happenings, the lil secrets… including green apples and carrots for lunch! You listen to me with that cute smile on your face and just know how to make up for making me angry! :) More than anything… you are someone I look up to.

And now here’s to you ALL “A very happy friendship day”!

Thank you!
