It was one of those mundane wintry mornings
when in popped a mail. The guy needed content for some hotel listed with us. I
obliged but who was this guy anyway? I asked around and understood he was the
same guy who’d come next to my desk pretty much every day and talk about
whole lot of TV series that he was currently watching and what must be watched.
Oh! And he was also the same guy who had volunteered to help a fellow colleague out with cutting his SIM so that it could fit the slot followed by a joke created around what was this biotech engineer actually trying to achieve in his life. Funny it was. I saw
him almost every day but never spoke to him or even asked his name.
Time does have the power to change a lot of
things. Soon enough, I found myself going with him for chai sutta breaks. Over
those hundred of maggi sessions, I have no idea how much we would have talked.
From the silliest and the most absurd topics to the most thoughtful of
scenarios, we did manage to discuss it all. Sharing the common UP thread, we
have laughed so much over certain things that I cannot even think of being
silent when he’s around. It is said that a friend’s presence makes your life
wonderful and his did that for me.
He has somehow managed to be with me during
my lowest of moments in the recent times, he has surprisingly also been the
only point of contact for my parents when I fled telling no one about the Mcleodganj
trip,and he has certainly made me realize that the strength of friendship sure as hell does not
depend on time as long as you believe in the bond.
Today, as you turn 24, here are a few
wishes I want for you to come to true. May you soon fly overseas for your
masters! May you get a sensible girlfriend! May you get some senses in your
head! And this one’s for me – May you get a little less annoying!:P And also
stop scaring me by pulling my chair hard every single day.
Here’s wishing you a happy birthday silly
:D
Dear World, please pour in your wishes for
the birthday boy - Vageesh.
P.S: I still have no idea why we don’t have
a picture together.
