So its Midnight, it's February the 10th and today is someone special's bday... now before you go off running to conclusions about some passionate romantic affair I'm having (I wish really...) I should let you know, its a really close friend's birthday, a girl's (although I've had a penchant for those too :P) but anyway this girl is a friend in a very non relationship kind of way and she's the nearest and dearest I have here. And so with this post I will make you walk through our journey together, from our days in First Year to her 20th birthday (yes i know, we all get old sometime...)

Our journey goes all the way back to three years from now, to around the end of the year 2008 (actually I think that's two years really... anyway) so the first time I met this very sexy now 20 yr old, I was fairly confident that we'd never ever get along, honest to god! We were in different groups, different cliques, and I honestly thought I wouldn't get her and vice versa. Things change for the best I guess, and we've lasted this long with our fair share of bumps along the way.

One of our most challenging times (and here I must talk about it) was when I had a particular objection to certain alliances that she had made, now I'm an extremely territorial person when it comes to my friends and well we stopped speaking. I can safely vouch that that period was terrible, I missed her awfully... and I don't remember who said we should call it a truce ( it was probably her cause I'm the most stubborn person on the planet most of the time) and we reached a compromise. And well things went from good to fantastic from then on. - I just realised that this entire post sounds like I'm dating this woman, but I'm not just to let you know that again but I wouldn't mind, she's that awesome and spectacular!

I think one of her greatest qualities is how accepting she can be of people, it makes her handle almost just about anything, I think its because she's an aquarian, its very difficult to shock these people but I will admit I might have been successful a few times in doing that :P She is the most single talented person I know too! She paints, she plays piano and she sings!!! I mean really, that makes me go in awe of her. And that's very difficult to do, considering that I do keep a very high standard when it comes to finding people impressive, but she's all THAT! :)

There's nothing more here that I can tell you that you don't already know about her, she really is one of the few close friends I have,she's part of my 'Inner Circle' and that's really hard to break into considering I never trust people enough. A true friend, a beautiful friend, she really is Aquarius- the sign of Genius, I am so grateful to have her, and all that is her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU GORGEOUS!!!!
I hope today is wonderful even if you're shooting GD out fo your nose ;D

Fare thee well...

Its that time of your life again... LAST DAY OF 'WHATEVER PHASE OF STUDIES YOU'RE CURRENTLY IN'!!!! And with that, today's blog post will be all about how idiotically senti i'm getting and not at all about how stupid I've found some people in these last three years... much (I'll try.. really but sometimes it's like they want me to). So after three years (and here I'm gonna use that age old line) I have no idea where 1095 days of my life went. And yeah I admit I did complain how dull and monotonous the entire tone of it was getting, but now that the song's over and I can't rewind... it kinda sucks :( There are a lot of things I will miss, getting attendance for 8:00 am lecs that we'd show up for in the last minute (SY was killer that way... I think we all felt like it was the greatest achievement of our lives at some point :P) and not to mention all the proxi scheming... I think I'm speaking for some of us at least when I say we felt like James Bond/ Jason Bourne when we came just THAT close to being caught. And the canteen food!!! I think I only stuck to three things- idli, wada and the chat (sev puri).

First Year was a big step for us. Those first introductions, Shachi you'll always be my first friend here! And it really surprises me how many friends we've lost and gained along the way. Friends turned enemies, people whom we never thought we'd get along with became close friends. A lot can and has happened. That said all those college bitching matches and rivalries are gonna seem futile and silly some months form now.. but that doesn't mean we'll ever stop :P. SY was just a continuation of all that. What really changed everything for me was our Final Year. I lost friends whom I considered myself rather close to but that's ok. That's life in the end. I am thankful though that some of my truly cherished friendships stuck through and are still going strong. And in the end that's what we have- the one's who stay with us through the good and the bad. I have no regrets that way, and yeah I do really wish those who turned to be unfaithful and two faced the very worst of what life has to offer, I make no apologies. God knows they've gotten what they deserve so far, so here's to you! Especially cause it's so awesome at how some people are so awesome at making such a joke out of themselves and their lives. Cheers!

And with that I also wish my friends, the best of everything. I hope that they get whatever it is that they want from life and I am lucky enough to say that a lot of them have. Some will have promising careers, others fulfilling life goals, they're all so different in what they want out of life and it really helps me open up to things that I never knew about. I've have learned more from them than what any Booker award book could teach me And that way I'll miss that most about college, not the classes, not the bunking, not even the canteen food, but your faces. I'll miss seeing them every single day, like I have for the last three years that I've known you and God knows this will be hard. I've always prided myself in being a fiercely faithful friend and loyalty is everything to me. So here's to you! Here's to your successful and beautiful long lives! And here's to our futures! (no matter how foggy they might seem at the moment, mine especially :P)
