Well friendships day tomorrow and i don’t have anything 2 give my friends yet. I am not a gifts person. But i know some of my friends are. So was wondering what to do.
Well making cards is a good idea but i guess my drawing skills fail me there. So what else can i do then. Buying gifts is something i generally don’t like unless the gift has some significance and the problem now is i haven’t thought what i should be giving. So if i go out to search gifts and that too in such heavy rains i am bound to be disappointed.
So here’s what i thought i could do. I write a few lines for each of my friends who mean so much to me.
“ There are somethings money cant buy” and i guess this is common with all of my friends mentioned below.
Darryl – Thank you is something i don’t say to you because we don’t need to . But today i say thank you for making me realise how important a best friend is in life. I recollect the gift i gave you for your birthday. That is what our friendship means to me.One thing i would want you to do is become more independent. And no suggestions on how to do that.
Ashima- Thank you for teaching me( knowingly and unknowingly )how to interact with girls. You will always be special 4 me and u will always be under my care. I would like to see your confidence restored to its initial value and also would want to see you truely happy once again.
Catherine- Thank you for being so understanding all the time. I know we don’t talk much now but you are a special part of my life too.I would like to see you too happy with your life and also would like our interaction to increase once again.
Alister – Well you know my son why i care for you so much. 1 thing i leant 4m u is how not to behave after a relationship ends. You are amazing when you are in good mood. But you have to realise that you are losing people when your emotional part comes in. So try showing less of that.
Arihant- I don’t call you “ bade” for no reason and you know that. You are a person i love a lot and you are a special character in my PC :P .I like the way you shouted at me and keep doing that because it makes me feel special. And the silence we share during lectures is something that i like though people might not understand.
Girish- You know how long i can keep listening to you and how our conversations never end. The best part about us is we can talk anything anytime and we don’t have to make each other realise how important we are to each other. But please stop thinking so extra-ordinarily because you end up complicating the simple things in life.
Venonah- You pivoted person understand me really well. The thing i like about you is your frankness. You are a personality who can influence people so use it for the good.But I would want you to be moderate about yourself when it comes to learning things because i feel you think you know everything which is a wrong attitude.
Binal- Someone with whom my thinkings match. You are ‘binally’ a new word in my dictionary wich means a friend i just like interacting with and who is a good adviser. For you i don’t have advice but i feel you shouldn’t take tension in small matters also
Iffat- Moody friend of mine who laughs with a 32 teeth smile . I like the way you respect me and my words and also get scared of me because that makes me realise i am your own and you are responsible to me for your behaviour . My same advice as always don’t be so moody.
Nikita – My daughter like character who is bubbly most of the times .You are very helpful and patient when it comes to helping.That is something I respect about you but you have to learn to “Think and speak positive”.
Kapil- You are a funny and emotional friend whom i connected with very well earlier. Somehow i don’t feel the same connection now though we still are together so often. Someday you will go on to do great things I feel so keep your innovative mind working all the time without rest.
Dylan – Well learning and respect is what I associate with you. I learn a lot of things from you and also i respect you for the person you are. Sometimes though you should release work off you to me and others. Trust me we also can handle things now .So slowly start doing less work :P
Parag – My brother is what i have introduced you as to many people. I know what an amazing person you are and you haven’t changed with me at least. I like your nature and the way you handle things. Keep that forever and stop working so hard all the time :P
Nimesh- A fun guy. I like the way you smile all the time. I also like when you get annoyed. But your excess of knowledge in everything we say keeps our group alive after mass.
Marisa – You are my every so bubbly friend who is lively most of the times. But i don’t like it when you are sad and don’t tell the reason also. But you are a gem of a person. I feel if you calm down a little you would loved even more.
Taruna- A person I never had any problem with as a person so long. My little sister is something you will always be. I like your helping, sweet and cute nature. And what people don’t know is that you also are a mature person.
Sneha – A very frank person. Smiling all the time. Like your jolly nature and way of teasing many times. But don’t hold on to old things, they will only hurt. And i like your company.
Badal- Badal Bhai. Tu mast aadmi hai. One of the purest heart I have found. Like your calm nature and also your don’t care attitude to things which shouldn’t bother you. You don’t think too much when it comes to friendship and thats why you will have many true friends in life.
Bhavin- I liked the first and second sem wala funny bhavin. You have been a balanced character when academics and co curricular stuff come. And even extra-curricular stuff you are balanced but not as much as earlier I feel.
Ekta- Your lack of common sense is really funny. And the innocent way it comes across really funny. You will definitely have a successful work life because you know how to handle things well. But become physically stronger is what i can say.
Stuti- Really hard working and smart. Like your innocence in many issues. Sometimes you are lost in your own world which is good as well as bad.You have a set of values you wouldn’t change for any reason whatsoever but that may come across as being stubborn. Keep smiling.
Viswesh- When it comes to expressing you views you are the best. I like the way you don’t trust people also easily because you are smart and know that this world is full of people who break trust and you are right to a great extent. But listen to other people’s views also even if you wouldn’t follow them.
Pronit- A hard working guy and i respect your nature of trying harder each time you do something. But I feel sometimes you try too hard for things that are unnecessary and end up wasting your effort which deserves more.
Akshata - New things happen in life and you are the best new thing that happened to me. The thing i like between the two of us we have been frank with each other right from the start and this is something i would want to continue forever. Stay mad.
Well for all my other friends – Happy Friendships Day. You too have a special place in my heart.
Thank you all for encountering me in this journey called life
PS – Please feel free to comment whatever you feel and sorry if i have hurt any1 of u

Why I am what I am?
I owe a lot of things to many people. But I owe the most to my parents, like almost everyone does. I am a product of what they have made me and what their teachings have taught me. My value system is the biggest gift they have given me and I will always be indebted to them for that. I am not a expressive person by nature but I am truly emotional and when I love someone it is with my full heart. I have never told my parents how much I love them. But I know they know. Their faith in me gives me confidence to do what I do and make decisions very quickly knowing I have support standing right behind my back. This is also because I am more or less sorted about my priorities in life and it is them who have made me set those priorities right.
I know that every human being has a right to freewill. But I don’t expect children to get as much freewill as much my parents give me. They know I won’t do anything wrong and that makes me what I am. Honestly speaking I don’t think I have ever done anything that they would be ashamed of or would put them down, from the time they have given me the independence they have given me.
The most important thing about being a parent for me is to know when to let your child free. Up to a certain age you feed your child all you have learnt from life and instill in him all the values that can be taught then at a certain point you have to just let go and have faith that the value system you have given your child. Then it is for the child to use the lessons learnt to learn more about life. This according to me is the true test of parenthood and I think my parents haven’t just passed but achieved close to perfection when it has come to dealing with me. The result is they never question me what I do in college, what I do at home when I am all alone, where I have spend the money they gave me or even what are my marks in the tests .But they do tell me to eat all the time but that I guess is because I am thin and weak according to them.
The consequences of not letting your child go are something I haven’t experienced but many of my friends have. And the results are not good at all. Once a child knows that he is always going to be questioned about the decisions he has taken he starts hiding things from his parents and this distances the parents from the child. They start doing thing out of frustration which they would never want to do and even their parents wouldn’t want them to. Then finally if parents do come to know what their children have done, they are shocked because they don’t expect their children to do such things and feel that they have always known what their children have being doing.
It’s not that I don’t hide things from my parents. But I don’t think I have done anything which would surprise them or something because I don’t interact much with my parents.
I am not a parent myself. So all these thoughts are only my views and parents who don’t agree to them may have their own way of dealing with things which may be perfect for them because perfection according to me cannot be achieved when it comes to parenting because we all are humans and have our own ways of achieving perfection . So the path to perfection may be different but excellence should be encountered somewhere along the path :) :)
Thank you mummy and daddy and also my elder brother and grandmother for making me what I am
