Never Liked Goodbyes!

This blog is dedictaed to two of my closest friends Vijay and Swetha.
Vijay shekhar jha (I fondly call him by his full name) is someone you can count on him anytime except when he is asleep. Well that’s another matter that he sleeps 16 to 18 hrs of the day.
The first time I met him was on the breakfast table and he was going on and on abt jokes in Hindi, which I hardly understood. I was little cloyed. First impression was kind of unimpressive. His first inpression about me was that I was snobbish. Well first inpressions didn’t hold much importance at that time.
As the policy in our process is to keep relocating the seats in order to get away from the mundane work, we happened to sit together and experienced a cacophony of sound as we used to play different kinds of music. Finally he convinced me to listen to his to achieve blissful harmony. And then I realized that the music he played had a soothing effect on my nerves. Thanks to him now I delight in wide variety of music. Then we kind got into discussions about music. He is a talented sweet singer. The best part about the discussions was the interest I developed in the beauty of the Urdu lyrics. Just Amazing.and we had familiar interests and a need for arguments and we hit it off. So our morning discussions always used to be eclectic, from lateral thinking to Rajnikanth, from Fireball Bihar politics to mundane Clinton sex scandal, from philosohy to poorjokes, from why we shouldn’t stop eating chicken to why we should have bath once a week.
He is the reason behind one of the achievements Iam really proud of. So here he is, all 2 years younger to me, bossing around me (bossiing over me is not a easy one.) teaching me maths. Iam a dumbass when it comes to this annoying subject. He struggled more than me to teach . I still vividly remember the day I was sullen and despondent as whatever they taught me in some goddamn tuitions was going above my head. As usual his uncanny sense of humor cheered me up but his promise/assurance lifted my spirits at the same time. He didn’t break his promise.
He used to sit in the morning after breakfast, teach me maths and strech to make up for the lost hours. Iam indebted to you VJ,for life. Wish I could be of some use one day. Ill help him even if he happens to kill someone.
He is intelligent, he is not preachy but gives very easy practical advice (never forget the Rs 200 to be kept in the valet), have a gift of gab. He was my best dancing partner. We were too good dancing for Rushhour's "what is he good for”?
He is courteous. My GK improved a little bit because of his knowledge. He can solve any damn puzzle, riddle. To me, he was Mohammad Ali of chess as he used to claim to beat me within 3 to 6 steps and he would do it. Well yeah iam a bad chess player. He taught me tt and I play without embarrassing myself now. He is my confidant. Miss You VJ. He is such a blessing!. Thanks for everything! Even for the fights!



We are not sure whether our paths will cross each other or not. But we have promised to remain as friends forever and this promise I would love to keep.


Swetha, Shweth, my darling cousin,my sister and my closest friend. She is the most adorable girl but at the same time the one who can piss me off quite often. Her ways of maneuvering her life always made me pull my hair. The worst part is that she used to find me refuge for all her mindless actions and come to me with implacable predicaments. As all her predicaments were unappeasable, we used to laugh it off and throw it to gutter and plan to make some fresh new upgraded predicaments.
Contradictorily, I bet she would make a better homemaker. She is a very sensitive human being. She has gone through a lot and still manage not to indulge in selfpity and remain good.She has lot of love to give.she is a hopeless romantic and God has bestowed her with a great sense of humor. Her oneliners are just mindblowing. She could be quite fascistic about cleanliness. I always see her diabolical side whenever she looks around my room. After abusing me, she cleans up the whole room. She is such a barbaric darling!
My Movie and eatout partner and advantageously she is a Nutritionist/Dietician.Hence we have managed not to look over weight. I can never forget the good old growing up days when we used to go for a ride on my luna, having orange candies while its raining, a kind of tryst with potholes we encountered whenever we came across a handsome guy. We could never avoid a pothole.


From being kids to teenagers to being "Women", we have gone through a lot in life.
The best thing about her is her innovative freaky ideas to keep us awake during our arduous night studies. The freaky idea is to try out the clothes and make up. It really works especially for women and few men.
She is Van damme of our family. She must have slapped a few number of “deserved being slapped hard” men. One of the incidents I want to tell my kids is about the day, long back, when we were out going for walk enjoying the sight and engrossed in analyzing one of her predicaments she was recently trying to get away from, a sly utterly unfortunate guy misbehaved and there my Van Damme chases him a couple of steps and whack him to the ground. I was literally rolling on the road laughing. That’s how cool everything was once upon a time.
We have had our share of misgivings and got back together with a bang.
Somewhere in our lives, I havent been a great support and I feel guilty about it. Wish i could somehow emancipate my guilt by being there for her when she needs me.
I always love you my dear sister.

This blog is more of a commitment to be there for you guys than a dedication.
All the very best in life. You deserve much more. Hope to See You somewhere down the line.

Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
