something I should have said long back :)

Dear best bud,

                Thought that as long as this philosophical mood lasts, I might as well make full use of it (I can already feel it ebbing :) as I think about the project and seminar that is due :( )

                I just want to say,”thank you” of course. I was just thinking about all the things that have happened in my life. U were always a part of it. At least, from the last four years. The best part is, the maximum no. of things and quite the important ones I feel, every one of those memories had you in the background somewhere :) It’s funny how we grew close over the past two years and now that we are leaving college, half of me wants to stay back and half of me desperately wants to leave for reasons only you and I know.

                As I look back on my life, I realize that I have always made errors in judgment about so many people, So basically, all the friends I have made were not all the right ones. I’m just lucky that even in these four years, among the rotten ones, fate intervened and I met you.

                Here’s what I like best about you. Most importantly, you respect me. For who I am. You don’t try to change me. You let me make my own decisions. You advise me at first, which most of the time I pooh-pooh and which most of the time turns out right. You are always there to pick up the pieces when I don’t listen to you. We may not call each other every day to recount the day’s events as apparently all other friends do and if I get angry and complain to my mom, she asks me the most obvious thing,” It does not matter if he is busy and u’ll don’t get to talk. The question is will he be there when you need him most?”

                And of course, the answer is yes. Even when I was not talking to you or at least there was some strain in our friendship, when something went wrong, I would always call you because I knew you would drop everything to come and stand by me. Maybe, it was because I was taking the right decision or maybe I just wanted to talk, but you were always there. After all the crap that happened last semester, you waited patiently for me to come to my senses. Patience has always been your virtue. I am just absolutely thrilled that I didn’t lose you because of my foolishness. Maybe you waited all that time because you knew I was being a- your favorite word for me- dumbass :P I’m sorry I got carried away with other people’s opinions when only I knew you best. From the bottom of my heart, I apologise for all the hurt I caused.

I love the fact that you are down-to-earth, righteous, humble, understanding and respectful towards all elders. I love the way you handle kids. I’m proud of the enterprising things you do. I like the fact that you are intelligent lol. Even though I don’t praise you, at all, lol, I like your sense of style. I also find it endearing how you care about other people’s opinions, not in a bad way because you have your own individuality. You always want to please everyone you care about. Don’t go overboard there G. Some people might take advantage of that. I love how you look out for ever person that needs looking after. You’re not that selfish also (come on, everyone is at one point of time) and you always help those in need.

So, anytime you feel low, just read this :) ‘cos you know I am definitely one of those people who think you are a good person.

I am glad I can always count on mom, you and Arjun to get me out of any mess.

And thanks for bringing Vish, Sapna and Sonal into my life lol, even if it’s for a short period, I hope we all stay in touch through the wondrous years to come.

I look forward to definitely having you and Arjun remain a part of my life.

That’s enough ego-stroking for a day. Now get back to work! :)

One last thing- I wouldn’t trade you in for ANYTHING in the whole wide world. :)

Love,

G. angel

(Hope I am worthy of this title once more :P )
