(Today, as the calendar screams, is 24th October and it is "HIS HIGHNESS GOVIND MALHOTRA's B'DAY :) So, here's a dedicated post.)
Don’t
be too surprised with this Mr.Govind. You didn't think i would forget your birthday did you?
Anyway around, i remember it and you gotta acknowledge me for that. But i still missed the party haan... Damn!! HaHa...

I
don’t get what else to write about over here but what better would it be if i
recall some of our moments? Yup, i hope i remember things to write about, a
history of a life-long friendship. J
I guess you remember how did we come across,
do you? Ahh!! I knew you would certainly not forget the time. Studies were on a high then, targetiit.com was the site where i came across you. Man!! I
learnt a lot of things from you and other persons who as well were running
behind the, “I’m an IITian” tag. We were one of them and of course the genius,
you, did it. Congratulations for that. I never ever happened to congratulate you on
that properly but here i would extend my deepest regards and a tight hug, GOOD
JOB!! J.
So that was how we came across.
But
i don’t exactly remember how, after that, we came this close, why did i
reveal certain things that i usually don’t to my close friends even;
moreover you were just like any other stranger over the internet then, right?
But yeah i did. I told you about the love of my life, and yes you understood
that much work was needed and Neha wasn’t still really within my reach or my
girlfriend yet, and it was then when i saw you transform, transform into a
part-time,”LOVE GURU” for me. I was overwhelmed and i want to thank you for
that.
Let
me tell you, if you don’t remember, about some things that you helped me out
with to solve my problems. May be i might just leave certain points here, that
is if you too remember about them, but i assure you i didn’t intend to. You
know right, my screwed up brain. Memories don’t last inside that shithead, cute
little head as i call it and even Neha acknowledges it as so once before, of
mine.
Do
you remember the time when i was, like, frantic over what would be my first
tribute, gift for Neha on her (first birthday after she had joined hands of
friendship with me). Came out of nowhere was the genius’, Love Guru’s,
suggestion and let me tell it wasn’t just her who made my day on her birthday
but it was you too who actually even made that moment worth it and memorable.
Thank you for that. Of course you remember!!!
Do
you remember when i was, like, low on mood and sad about what Neha just had
told me then? It was my first ever fight, i never expected or wanted it to be
though, with Neha. I was sad. I was angry. I was crushed under a bulldozer’s
load. You extended your “HANDS OF FRIENDSHIP”, yup that’s what i call it, and to help
me lift up a weight what seemed like that of a cakewalk. I yelled at
you over the fact that how Neha could make such an irresponsible, ludicrous
statement but you never minded it. You understood what feeling i must have been
going through then. You let me out of it. I was grateful. I developed respect
for you. You were there for me. You eased my feeling. You always knew what would
make me happy. You did your best to cheer me up. I was thankful that i had such
a friend whom i could proudly introduce to the world as my “Awesomest FRIEND”
(if awesomest is a possible adjective to describe you). Of course you
remember!!!
There
was a time when i told you that i was going to have my first ever guitar and i
would be totally into guitaring after that. You congratulated me for that and
it was then, or may be before (oh, my weak memory), that i came to know that
you played guitar as well. You were (are) a “ROCKSTAR”.
You remember, don’t you?
You remember, don’t you?
This
memory must have been still fresh on your mind. It was finally decided that my family and I would go to Delhi in the short puja vacation that just
flew by. I told you about. You were happy. You gave an ecstatic sigh of
happiness and started narrating plans immediately. You told me that touring the
places, forts and other places what i had already seen, again would be boring.
You told me that you would show me real places and other stuffs for what Delhi
was, and is, actually famous for. I winked at that. I was excited for the trip and
so were you. But, unfortunately, the trip got cancelled at the very last moment
due to some odd reasons that you already know and i won’t waste it discussing
here. I was depressed again.
But
yes last couple of days had been pretty hard on me so maybe i misbehaved a
little or maybe treated you like dust but trust me i never ever meant it and
I’m sorry for that. L
Those
were certainly a few things that were worth a highlight during this period of our
friendship. I hope you would cherish them and be my friend forever.
“YOU
ARE AN OCCASIONAL ROCKSTAR, PART-TIME LOVE GURU AND FULL TIME AWESOMEST FRIEND.
I WISH YOU A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”
THE SEQUEL TO THIS PART IS HERE : Love wounds but friendship heals
(P.S.: Please don’t find out any mistakes in them because those were some honest words
and i didn't care rectify them once framed.J)
