Manittude

Why do you run away as if you have seen a ghost, whenever you see me-I asked him. Ab bhoot dekhenge toh bhaagenge hi ........that was his tongue-in-cheek answer.
I ask him why do u act so pricey-He answers Because I am pricey.
I ask him-Why do u behave this way, his reply-Mera Mann
I ask him-Why do u have such attitude,Answer-Ab aise hi hain hum.....
You are getting fat I say, he replies-that is a sign of prosperity

What do you say to a man who openly proclaims"I am bad" and it's not jackson's dramatic style, but a cool nonchalant approach.
He wants to have pretty girlfriends, but wouldnt make the effort to get up and say Hi to a pretty girl ,whenever there is one and believes in "armchair romance".

I hear he was called "Mr Tension" during campus days. But as far as I am concerned, he has always helped to ease my tensions. Honest and straightforward to the point of being blunt, you can count on him to tell you the truth-always.......

I would like to leave the rest of the space blank.............so that I can keep adding stuff about him.......................

Friend from Scotland

Short, dark, curlyhaired with a bright smile on his face , I met him 3 years ago. Today he is happily married , settled and doing well in life. I remember the long chat sessions we used to have, wherein I would crib about everything in life.And he would listen patiently . Sensitive, caring and very patient he is a typical ladies man.
When my mom had an accident, when I did not get placed and for many such traumatic occasions he was there for me -unconditionally. I got to learn a lot of things from him-and it would not be wrong to say that I am a better person today because of the things I learnt from him.There are a lot more things which I would have liked to put down.........but sometimes words become inadequate to express feelings.
Wish You all the best in life Buddy.............

Parrot and Love

You have to have an operation,the doctor told me. I was scared . Operations do sound scary. I called up Neha-the worry in her voice was real. She and Mithu, they were there for me-all the time. They spent the night uncomfortably on a small bed in the cabin I was allotted to. I decided not to go for the operation after all. Medicines suit me fine. And of course the love of my friends-the ultimate healer.
Neha-short , cute, plump and softspoken our "ludhku", Mithu -tall, slim, pretty and very active. We have a tacit understanding between us to agree to agree. Petty disagreements have no place amongst us. We have our own dreams and wish lists-the chopper which we will buy, the house and the home theatre system.We have our unplanned sundays, when we wake up late, cook together and then do some last minute planning for movies by pinching the neighbour's newspaper and looking up the movie menu card.Far away from home, we have built a extended family , cementing out bonds with care, love and respect for each other.
Going back home, cooking together and watching jassi together, and cribbing about our respective bosses-Can one ask for more???

Cobra Friend

Ayodhya, Mathura, Kashi he said. What do you mean I asked.
I need to build temples he said, and I am also listening to Italian National Anthem .And as if to prove his statement, he sent me the soft copy of the anthem!!! That's Tilu for u!! 2 years ago when I met him, he came across as a absolute crazy person. He doesn't seem any different today . One of the few people I know who are not bothered about what people say about them. He is himself, the original, straight forward guy whose favourite topic is he himself. Girlfriends, jobs, money, sex, heartbreaks, -we have discussed abt everything under the sky.And his views on all of the above is different if not radical.I owe him some money and he never fails to remind me of the same and its almost more than a year now. I told him I am writing about him.You must be writing all gaalis about me he says. Not exactly Tilu, just want to say that just be the way you are and dont change.It's great to have a friend like you...........
