Best Friends Forever

Well its been a while since the time I opened this blogger account but cudn’t think of anything to write on . I thought the best way to kick off my blog would be to write about the special people in my life . Thought of the dates …..pa ,ma n hubby’s birthday n anniversaries have still some time to go. Yesterday I was watching 3 idiots,loved the movie as always n so there again I started narrating to hubby dear about the college gang . By the time the movie was over it was almost 12ish n that’s when the alarm on my phone beeped flashing "Mona’s Birthday " (thats my best friend for the uninitiated) on the screen n I thanked d phone quickly for being the saviour n reminding me of the date. Now after all in all these years I finally get a chance to wis

h her on time . I know I know it sounds awful but I share this trait with a man when it comes to remembering birthdays n anniversaries or any other special dates. I tried everything starting from maintaining a diary ,putting up stick me ons on the refrigerator but on the D day I would either forget to look at the diary or read the stick on .The reminder thing on the phone didn’t somehow work out for me too until now . Anyway coming back to where we were, so i promptly dialled her number wished her and not unusually chatted for about 45 mins. Now there wasn’t really enough time to buy her a gift so I thought why not I just start off my blog with writing about our friendship.. . .

Allright so our friendship is about 19 yrs old ..we must have been around 10 then.Both of us had joined school near about the same time after midterm ,and being new in the school were friendless too. So we hit it off instantly and before we could realise we had turned the best of buddies.We sailed through school days happily and together went for our first day at college . Once there we did all the 'been there done that' sorta things of which many can land us in serious trouble so i choose to skip those :D.... but the usual ones that are synonymous with almost any teenager like bunking classes to watch movies ,swapping our mills n boons and reading them over n over again n again ,sitting on the college stairs chatting away for hours and having an opinion about everyone who passed by particularly about their looks n style of dressing ,roaming in flea markets, trying out the new haircut , crushes n breakups ,long phone calls after having literally spent the entire day in college together u just name it and we would have done it . There was actually a time when she,actually both of us wanted to run away to marry this cute cricketer but then we thought of the shame we would bring our parents n alas decided to stay back and not elope with this guy who probably didn’t even know we existed on mother earth . Whew I could jus go on n on n on n on about our series of adventures n misadventures.

Now having said all that, there also have been many a times when we fought ..yes literally like cats n dogs n at times like human beings if we were in the right mood ..but then those tiffs never ever really affected our friendship…we did fight but never ever forgot to kiss

n make up. I still remember we had a fight once and I was so mad that I just walked away in a huff … and later that evening wat do i see ? My dear friend sends her dad all the way to my house , with a letter of apology. I thought that was really really sweet ..that got a smile to my face.

So there are numerous funny n stupid somethings we did that I could write a entire blog about in different posts each time n i promise to keep coming back with those posts . But for now I think i am done for the day so I gotta go. And yes to all of those who read this, this is tribute to my best friend Monalisa .We all do care n miss our friends but how often do we take some time to tell them how dear they are to us . I did my bit today and its ur turn now .

To you Mona I wish a very happy birthday n I hope u like this gift …wish loads of happiness to u n ur bundle of joy. Lotsa love :)
