It’s almost the end of the year. Just about a week more to go. There is alot that happened this year that I would like to remember for a long time coming. Too much to fit it all inone place. So I start here wth the People who made the year what it was.
I’d like to start with my Favourite Kolkata Trio. The three who matter the most to me here. Without their sarcasm, unfunny jokes, nautanki, random acts of kindness, unconditional comfort and constant support, I would not have survived. Even for a second. I love you people!
Nirupama. My Knightess in Shining Armour. My Deviless in Disguise. I don’t know life away from home without you. I don’t know who else to wake up at 3am because I cannot sleep. To scream at for waking up late. To share my cupboard with anybody else. To bother with my constant cravings for highly specific food items. To listen to my dreams the first thing in the morning. I don’t know who else to come running to when something goes really right. Or really wrong. Who else to talk to the last thing at night. And the first thing in the morning. Nobody else can be so brutally honest about how bad I am looking and be such a convincing liar and tell me I am looking nice… Nobody can be so nice to me after knowing and seeing sides of me that she has! I’m the happiest knowing you had a good year (yes, you DID) and things turned out the way they did for you. Alot has changed this year and I know in the long run I’ll truly realise that it was for the best, and I thank you for showing me life like I had never known before!
Assawa. I don’t know what I would do without you and without your unimaginable patience and tolerance towards my mindless and frequent (and “general”) mood swings (which include surges of extreme excitement and happiness). Thank you for grounding me with your level of sensibility and showing me what the words “unconditional” and “being nice” really mean! This year, I would have thought that I’d be a few kilograms lesser thanks to the increased frequency of walks this year but I guess because of all the chocolate, pav bhaaji, soup and kulfi that I’ve consumed druing them, I guess it’s had the opposite effect! Thank you for always making my bowling look like crap next to yours, helping me memorize the map of Salt Lake, making me comfortable travelling in autos, enlightening me, always giving in and doing what I want to do and letting me be myself with you and letting me crib and complain and be sentimental and crtical, even though you HATE it! It’s been so great this year and so much to think and feel good about starting from that stupid game in February to what it has become now. Oh, and Thank You for taking me on the longest bike ride I have ever been on.
Sachi. You, my friend, are the spunk in spunky and the life of the party. I love your courage and sense of fun and without it everything seems dead and drab. I don’t know what I would have done in class without you all these two years and being there in times of severe uncomfyness! Your tiffin has fed my poor hungry self for the whole year and your home has been the “home away from home”. Your jokes have helped me realise that mine aren’t actually that bad. Your bed has been such a great storage place for all our clothes. And books. And other things we don’t remember that are still on it! You’re also the only female friend I have here (Niru has been there from before) and it’s just so nice doing girl stuff and talking and bitching! It’s also so amazing how you’re always willing to pay for what we eat. I have also never ever heard anyone talk SO softly on the phone. Thank you for being such an awesomely bright and cheerful personality and always giving everyone a reason to let go of everything and smile and feel good!
