And you have in front of you, a cherished afternoon siesta from
a second half off. You snuggle into your bed with a lovely novel. And lo and
behold! There is an announcement in your lobby that your over enthusiastic
friend has jumped off from a not-so-slow bus (no suicidal tendencies though
:P). So you rush off to Apollo and want to shout at her so bad for scaring you
so much. Yet when her befuddled gaze falls upon you, all you can muster is,
“Sudhregi nahi tu kabhi!”
I was of the opinion
that I can be perfectly happy independently when I did not manage to make any
friends initially after shifting to college. Contended with my books and coping
with the daily chores of independent existence took up my time and I felt this
was the way to be. She made her “Dabbanngg” entry then. Made me realise it was
criminal to stay like this and it was high time I gave a true blue college life
a chance.
“Kitna padhti hai re, kabhi to ghum liya kar bahar!”
“Gapiyane ka man kar rha hai... bahut frustiya liye yaar!”
I was glad to see the “normal” me returning in her presence.
Her presence filled with mischief and fun is contagious. She
likes her surroundings to be jolly and even if they aren’t, turns them into a
festive mood. Her zest and enthusiasm
for adventurous pursuits makes us feel like old ladies in front of her. No one
can feel alone around her. She takes it upto her to ensure that everyone around
her feels present and accounted for. Even though all of those “everyone” can
wilfully ignore her later on or in a classic display of bitchiness, mock her on
her back, she does not give a damn. She never wants to be independent or on her
own, and rightfully so because she is there for her friends always and hence
expects them to be too. Although we made her realise the hard way that this was
not to be. I have wronged her at times and consequently realised her magnanimity
in forgiving me every time I may have let her down.
But to my credit, I have made her retain her nerdy side as
far as possible!
“Yaar palle nhi pad rha code meko...ek ghante se wahi
question pe dimaag laga rahi hun”
“Acche se padhne baithe the but bilkul focus nahi ho paa
rha”
“To chup chaap
aake mere room mein padh and idhar udhar dhyan lagana n nautanki karna band
kar. Abhi concentrate kar le baad mein distract ho lena!”
Like is with every relationship, there has to be an element
of complementation. She’s the fun element and I am the serious one. She is the
talkative element, I am the silent one. She’s the photographer, but wait....I
can’t be her muse! :p
This account is dedicated to my first friend in BIT. Who surprises
me with her profoundness underneath her colourful exterior. Who has been my confidant
and advisor (whose advice is better listened but not taken :p). With whom this
Miss Perfect to the world shares her imperfections without any hesitations. Even
if I become irritated with her endless tirades and shoo her off at times,
looking back I know she’ll be there and smiling because both of us knew I’ll
look back.
“Yaar ,we’ll get drunk after placement, ek baar na please!”
“Ladki ab tum chup ho jao!”
