Dear Nupur,
Hap Hap Happy Birthday!!!
i wont be doing the usual niceties that people write in birthday letters, coz i think you and i are far past that stage of friendship. i will, however, using the best skill at my disposal, that is my memory, remind you of some instances we may have forgotten about, or just not thought about in recent times...
so the first is the fact that you were the only person who DID NOT think i was a snob on meeting me for the first time. from the first time itself, we weren't exactly best friends, but we got along very well.
this takes me to the second, a funny instance, the time you, along with 2 other people, came over to my place, and answered a wrong number for HDFC bank, and told the caller that the lady he was calling for was bathing and getting ready to go clubbing. the caller, not surprisingly, was rather scandalized, i remember. this incident is particularly special, coz it involved just us. the other donkeys hadn't a clue about it :P
another little memory, by the end of Xth standard, you and i realized we had a lot in common, music, guitar, singing, poetry. hell! even our voices were similar, chandni's sister confused between the 2 of us on the phone... later of course, we were to have a bigger interest to share... we just didn't know it yet :P
i happened to go through our pictures from school recently, and remembered that we had very good reason for deciding to never show them to anybody :P but even then, you had a dazzling smile :) your loud hysterical laughter came to be something unique about you... i mention this coz in the recent times i haven't heard you laugh like a maniac, for whatever reasons... why i say this here, on this happy occasion, is coz i wish you a life time of crazy laughter, the one that was always so contagious, the one that is etched in our memories, the one that did not care about time or place, and hopefully won't in the future... the one that is spontaneous.
finally, since i am best at the emotional crap, i must tell you how much i miss you. our secrets, our disagreements, our clash of *ahem* 'interests'... i miss it all... i'd rather have you pissed at me but meet you, than not meet you at all...
but then, our friendship has been through thick and thin, quite literally, and so the distance is really no biggie :)
so here is me, your far away friend, wishing you a happy 23rd :*
love and wet kisses,
P-h-etal!! (you don't call me that anymore :\)
PS: another memory, you coined the much popular nick name 'Petla'. it was a typo that you made during one of our many MSN chats about a certain common interest ;)

Hey History Teacher,
ReplyDeleteseriously you are like a memory machine..if i die after u, i will dissect your cerebral cortex and see how u remember everything!!
You are not a snob. u have that attitude and u don't mix around with any and everyone.plus ur pretty. this is what actually ppl mean when they call u a snob. so think this n be happy :P
yes that HDFC call...hahah...it was hilarious..im sure u didnot get a call from them again! i rber ur face! haha.
common interests, common circumstances..but wev still emerged different haven't we..our reactions to similar things..have not been similar..now that i think abt it..the major common interest..well..everytime u mention it n i think about it, it makes me realize how much i always loved u. :)
let me give u some good news. the loud laughter is back..a lot of ppl have been complaining abt it..just today my brother said "kya chudail hain!" :D
thanx a lot for ur birthday wishes Petla.
Poochies.
