17th dec.2007

17th dec.2007, the day I turned 22. This day has become one of the most memorable days of my life. A day full of unexpected events and sweet surprises. Surprises that made me feel on the top of the world. It was the most memorable b’days I ever had. It was not like the other b’days… Almost 100 ppl wished me on tht day…

Let me start from the first caller. Undoubtedly, my best friend (name suppressed), will refer to him as DD.. He called me up at 11:55 (16/12/2007) just to make sure that he’s the first one to wish me on my 21st b’day n he did.. He was the first one to wish me among all my friends… There’s a strange relationship between us. We have spent not even an hour of quality time being together, still we are the bestest of buddies.. ( as I always say so ;)).How we met is another interesting story,, we met in a marriage js 1.5 yrs back.. just had a formal intro that time. But the time since we exchanged our contact details.. Our frenship knew no bounds. He’s a forthcoming engineer about to complete his graduation in civil engineering this yr itself. He is very caring and understanding person. He knows what I have to say n wat I think even before I speak a word( the case is same vice versa also..;) ).. It seems that we have a great telepathy.. js kidding!!! It’s all about js meeting of the mental frequencies. He understands me like a fren, guides like a mentor, cares like a bro and at times also ……..chal leave it,,,( will complete the sentence some other time.) He’s js an awesome person. He has a great urge for sports. He is a commendable player in cricket, baseball, softball n volleyball. And is equally a talented and an elegant dancer (let us meet again, will definitely ask him to teach me ;)). For me he is a real champ. He is a great sports freak. His affinity for sports sometimes dwindles his mind from studies but good lords! He’s started taking his studies seriously. Newys, this is nuf bout him. May God bless him n fulfill all his endeavors. May all his dreams come true. My best wishes are always with u dear. In the end js wanna tell DD tht I relly love u for what u are to me and pls always b as u are!! I feel blessed to have u in my life..

While talking to him ,, there were some calls waiting on my phone. I had to disconnect him n attend the other calls… there were 2 msd calls while I ws talking to him.. Missed calls of Shruti.. Shruti Deora, my childhood fren. About her what to say.. She’s my fren, my younger sis n also a guide.. . she’s 7 mnths younger to me but in our case the age don’t matter. We went to the same school while I was in Indore.( yup!! She was my junior in school, still she’s my world) I cunt bear her being angry on me on any matter or we disagreeing on some matter. Shruti is a focused girl with great passions for studies, frens n also books,, She is a great intellectual. She is always there whenever I feel lonely and lost in the worldly matters to guide me and help me out of all the problems. I think that I m too short of words to explain our relationship.. no matter how often we meet, how often we had a talk ,, we never allow any misunderstanding to creep in our relation.. As a famous quote.. “ Friendship is not about how u understand ur fren,, its all about hw u avoid the misunderstanding”.. this is relly true in case of the relation between me n Shruti… J Js wanna thank u for always being there for me, to console me n to lend a helping hand to me whenever I needed u,,, luv u huny!!!

I hung up the phone after talking to Shruti.. it was now the turn of Shrikunj. He called me up at 12 and asked me ki Cheena di. Fm ka ek doubt hai .. bataoge kya.. I told him ki tujhe is time yahi yaad aaya,, he replied ki he ws js joking.. he called up to wish me. Yup!! Tht’s Shrikunj. Srikunj Kabra. I really don’t know what kind of relationship we share. He’s my fren, my brother, my junior n my student too. I met him at my cousin’s place. I came to know that we are in the same school, bt he is also a junior to me.. He came to Indore in 11th std, tht time I was in 12th std,,. After completing my 12th std I opted for C.A. My cousin told me that a person in her relation is a C.A. and I must meet him.. I dint knew ki my cousin was talking bout Shrikunj’s dad.. I met him,.. n that was the time the bond between us started growing. After some meetings our frenship started flourishing and since thn it never looked back. Even today we meet like frens , laugh together, fight like kids… bt we are always there for each other. He is a sorta funny guy! As we all call him.. u may find him roaming all around Indore at any time.. ( yar uske ghar bhi appointment lekar jaana padhta hai,,, pata nai woh mile na mile.. js kidin).. He is a very responsible person.. n a very intelligent stud. Whenever I say ki yar mera yeh course nai hua hai ,, yeh chhut gaya hai,, he’s the one who boosts my confidence level. Regarding him I must say tht I have found every type of relationship in him. Be it anything,, he’s always there for me.. May God bless u dear!!!

As I was talking to shrikunj.. I realized tht someone’s js sending mssgs on my cell,, when I checked them I found that it was Prashant.. Prashant Ahuja my fren since PE-1. I met him at NPA.. (nahata professional academy) our coaching classes for CA. He gave me the first surprise of my b’day. I knew that he was not in town on 17th. So I was all prepared that I have to celebrate my b’day missing some of my close frens. But I was literally shocked when he came to wish me at Celebrity, the place where we were having my b’day party. Wasn’t that cool.. n a fully surprise package.This was one of the sweet surprises. I was relly happy to have him there. Prashant is a sturdy guy, with a passion of winning hearts. I can bet with him no one cud be upset. He can make even the crying faces turn into a crescent.He is a kinda flirty at times but I must say that he is equally caring for his frens.He never lets his frens down.He is one among some who made me realize my potential, who helped me present myself and above all to live and to b happy.
I am blessed to have a fren like him !!

I was reading his mssgs then suddenly my school fren,, a classmate from bhilwara ( where I had spent some of my academic years) called me up. She was Neha , Neha Meharia. We were together in bhl. Till 10th std. then I came to Indore. I came to know that she’s also in Indore when we were in PE-II. Then started was a phase of frenship between us.. she’s relly a worth having friend.

After talking to neha.. and accepting b’day wishes from her,, and attending some more calls came the call of Charu. Charu Khandelwal is one of my closest CA frens. In our group, she is the giggling potJ on the other hand she is very caring and a lovable gal. Always there for her frens. She is shopping frantic and also luv to spend time with her family. She is relly very close to her family and never gives them a chance to let them down. She is there whenever her friends of family needs her. She is someone who understands each and every problem of her frens and gives a sensible solution to the porblem.. She is famous in our group as " Dr. Charu".. Proud to have a fren like her...

I cunt talk to Charu for long as there were some more calls waiting on my phone. So I hung up the phone and attended other calls. After attending some more calls I finally decided to go to sleep as I ws very tired. As I was preparing my bed, I heard my cell ringing. To my surprise, it was Sudeep. Sudeep Bhandari, my new new friend. A mutual friend and a family fren since generations… J Confused nah! I tell u. look its like tht ki we have a mutual fren thru whom I came to know him.. As we knew each other better we came to know that we are family frens n that too since 3 generations… J ( my grandpa n his grandpa, then my dad n his dad,, ,n after tht we are in queue J ). Well Sudeep is my cutest fren and also the busiest one!!! He’s always busy in meetings and all. We meet rarely bt still we make it a point not to give each other a chance to forget each other. He’s a real cuddycup J. He is very sweet and very supportive. Anytime I need any consultation and I need any advice I approach him and there he is . .. always extending a helping hand and an understanding heart. His call was relly unexpected late night js to wish me.. I felt relly elated talking to him. In the end, js wanna tell him tht I am relly proud to have a fren like you dear. I salute u for wat you are,,, Hats off t o U!!!!!
I was very sleepy after talking to sudeep as it was almost 1. I slept. At 1:47 I was awakened by one more call on my cell. To my utter surprise it was Radhika. Radhika Mohta, my school fren since I was in 11th std. U can say tht she’s my best fren in Indore ( presently she’s in Pune.). Since 11th std. we are always together on my b’day,, bt this time I was upset as I thot she cunt make it as she left for Pune on 8th itself,,, I told her tht.. She said not to b upset.. bt still I was,, ( it’s a deep feelin inside… . L ).. She wished me n told me have a day full of surprises,, I cunt get at tht time wat she wanna say ( I was sleepy tht time.. ) .. But I ms say I was on top of the world wen her call came.. . I finally slept after talking to her. In the mrng, she called me back js to know my b’day plans.. I told her tht as such no plans till 5 n after tht will go wid frens… I hung up the phone after talking to her as mum was callin me.. .. After having lunch wid one of my frens we were sitting in the drawing room watching tv.. I was shocked to see Radhika at my place.. I relly wasn’t expecting her right from Pune. My eyes were wide open at her sight.. This was the most precious b’day gift I ever received, it js came as a bolt from the blue.. bt still I luv tht.. I was overwhelmed to have Radhika here with me on my b’day.. I and Radhika have spent some of the most memorable times together at TnT ( tht’s top n town, an ice cream parlour). We sat there for hours and share our life wid each other.. Radhika is a kinda a person who is quite reserved and it needs a lot of patience to understand her( gracious God!!! I have been able to and today we are best of frens… )
She is equally understanding and caring and also fun to have a fight wid… ( I m talking bout the fights we use to have while eating an ice cream for the cherry in it… heheehehe).
In the end I js wanna say “ hey darling!! B as u are n thank u for everything u have conferred on me…!!!!
I slept after talking to radhika.. I was awakened at 6:31 by Sadique’s call.. Sadique Ali Kanchwala.. my singer fren.. He is an awesome singer.. love to hear him sing.. Our frenship started at NPA.. wen we were preparing for our PE2 xams.. .we were in same batches.. and it was bcos of some mutual frens we started studying law together.. this is how our frenship flourished.. Sadique is a very focused guy with great urge for singing tooooo.. ;)( I know he will kill me for this.. bt it doesn’t matter…) he is my very good fren… Wat else to write bout him.. I think only one line is nuf for describing him… n tht is,, “
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.”
I am proud to have a fren like u,., dear..
Again I slept ( I was still sleepy) ,, I was awakened by shivani.. Shivani Agrawal.. one of my frens ,, she came to my place to wish me at 8:30.. I was in bed tht time.. I woke up at the instance.. .. Shivani is a wonderful painter.,, she’s js a magician wid pencil n paper,,., she’s the stress buster of our grp… she never let neone gloomy in our grp.. she’s relly sweet… she is also among one of my frens whom I met at nahata.. ( hmmmm I have got most of my frens from nahata… ;) )

On my b’day after getting ready ,, ,we both went to temple to thank God for another glorious yr of my life..
She was also the one among those who were conspiring for my b’day surprises.. bt I thank her for tht… thank u dear for always being there for me… I relly don’t know how to thanku for wat u have done for me…
As I was still wid shivani,,, sunny called up… Sunny Namdev… again a nahata fren.. He’s famous amongst us as “ Doobla Patla Insaan”… relly yar he is a love frantic… I don’t knw him much bt still he’s one of those who in their lil ways have brought a smiling crescent on my face…… I relly m short of words to thank him… he has the power to make an upturned curve into a smiling crescent,,, ,.. It is this ability of his tht he’s the laughing jack of our fren grp.. .
After having a talk wid sunny ,, shivani left..there was a mssg on my cell… it was from Aaditya Jain.. ( my fren’s cousin.. ) shocked nah!!! No need yar.. my fren list is js like tht… most of them are.. fren’s fren.. fren’s cousins .. cousin’s frens.. n all … I and Aaditya.. have met js once … n tht too.. wen his cousin.. my fren was here in Indore… I m not so much familiar to him.. bt wat I know bout him is tht he’s a very sweet n down to earth person,, ( will let u knw more wen I know more bout him,,, J )

Then it was priyal n kshitij goyal.. they both are cousins.. n above all bestest of frens… The relation between them reminds me of the relation between two characters from my story ( meri tamanna),, heheheh,, relly yr ,, may God bless them n their relation,, kshitij n priyal both are my C.A. frens.. n they are very helping,, they are ready to help wenever the need arises.. they never say no.. ( or may b u can say tht I haven’t heard them say NO… ) It was relly gr8 to have them at my party.. I was very happy to have my all frens there….
Followed by Priyal n Kshitij, was Vipul Khandelwal.. another one of my frens,, n their gang member,,;) he’s also very sweet n down to earth person.. frankly speaking I don’t know them ( Priyal, Kshitij n Vipul ) very well bt I think tht how much I knw bout them is nuf for trusting them.. .
Now…. The mrng passed in a usual manner,, Radhika popped up at 2… I ws js sittin wid her online… Akratee Lodha came online. .. She forgot my b’day… even I thot of not telling her,,, bt then I told her tht she’s forgetting something,,, at the same instance Radhika changed my login status at gmail… then she came to know tht it ws my b’day… She then wished me…I came to know Akratee thru Charu.. She’s Charu’s one of the closest buddies.,,n school mates.. Akratee is also a focused gal… her main focus is on sports n kinda,, it ws thru Charu tht I came to know tht in school times she ws rarely in ne class.. u can always find her on the ground.. .Still she manages to excel in studies… hats off to her concentration skills yar.,, ( sometimes it relly makes me jealous!!!!! ) I know she’ll definitely kill me … for this point.. bt yar pls don’t take this otherwise… I m very grateful to have a friend like u…. J
After wishin me online she called me up to wish me… I made her sing the full b’day song for me… she sang it so sweetly ,,., tht I was overwhelmed…
After a small chat with Akratee,, I received a call from Vivek Mandowra,.,,, another one from the Kshitij, Priyal n Vipul clad.. n this time I really am short of words.. bt I am thankful to God for giving me frens like all of them…..
… Then came the call of Purvi Chordia,,, ( my school fren… ) from Sophia,,, she’s the one ,,, whom I cunt forget,,, she’s one of my bestest buddies,,, I cunt even think of not sharing nething goin on in my life wid her… she’s a very good singer ,,, n also a good painter… For her family member’s she’s Kitpit ( her nickname.. ) bt we used to call her,,, Kim Sharma,.,,bcoz of the sharpness in her voice… she used to get irritated at the name of kim ,, bt still we loved to tease her… …..
I was shocked at her call since I dint expected her call in the day,, ( usko generally yaaad nai rehta hai.. .. One more surprise ,, for me,,,,
As talking to Purvi,, we were getting ready for our destination… ( celebrity) ,, as we reached there and were w8ing for all the frens to join us there,,, came the call of Shubham Saboo.. this was again a surprise for me.. as I dint expected tht he wud remember my b’day.,, he’s also my nahata fren.. n a shy kinda guy,,,bt a very focused person,,, he’s very clear about his goal in his life…
As we were njoyin the party… came the call of Aniruddha Gokhale.. my rockstar fren… yup!!!!!! A rockstar… part of one of the famous band of Indore… the band called Nicotine.. .n I ms say.. he’s relly worth getting addicted… Hey Ani… I am w8ing for my cd…
Finally the party ws over,, we all departed… bt this wsnt the end yet… some more surprises were w8ing for me…
As I was on my way home.. I ws somewat sad as Atish hadn’t wished me ,,, I mssged him ,, tht he forgot to wish me.. js ws the moment he called up.. ,,, Atish Singhal…my… closest fren.., rather the most jovial one.. he’s relly very close to me.. …he teases me as his galfren,,, n also is very caring and possessive.. I met him also at nahata,,
I ms say tht nahata academy has proved as a boon to me.. tht I have found so nice frens there… Atish is one among those who made me wat I am today,, he was the first guy I talked to at Nahata… we met at the party hosted by the academy.. n since then our frenship never looked back… wenever I am sad or need some advice,,, wanna smile n laugh,, he’s the first option to me… I ms say ,,, tht if I hadn’t talked to him.. I ms have lost one of my most precious frens… !!!!!

As I reached home… my cousin was w8ing for me ,, as I was intended to go to her place for night stay… we went… n there I received call from my darling fren… Kanika…
Kanika Sharma.. my closest fren… from Bhilwara,,, she’s relly cute n a darling.. as innocent as a ,,, let it b.. ( I don’t have words for tht.. sry kani,, bt will surely tell u ,, this is not to b publicized).. we used to call her MakeUp Box ( my bro gave this name to her.. ).. bt she love this… wen I call her a cute sa make up box.. . ( hey kani I relly love ur nails… )….I and Kani have spent our school life together js like ki we don’t care for anyone else in this world.. I still remember tht she ws the first person who came to see me in the hospital wen I was being operated fo appendix.. it was like tht.,, it was Sunday mrng.. suddenly I got appendix pain n doc asked for an immediate operation ,,, I was rushed to hospital… n as soon as I entered the operation theatre,, ,she called me up at my place..( I came to know this from my neighbour, as she attended the call.. ). After operation wen I ws shifted in the room, she was the first fren I saw there.. very innocently she said ki ,, ashi,, kucch accha nai lag raha tha.. js wanted to talk to u,, isliye call kiya tha,, ,, So this is the telepathy between us,, ,, sometimes it was a sheer coincidence tht we were absent from school on the same day… n sorta,,, even teachers used to say ki,, these two gals are always together,,( we even used to sit in class together,,, ) our teachers were relly fed up wid us. ,, Even today our teacher’s from Sophia remember us together..,, ,I relly miss u kani,,,

After talking to kani.. I thot of playing some online games,, I ws js lost in the games.. then Nakul called up… Nakul Jhanwar… the only guy I used to talk to till 10th std… about him wat to say,, he had been my teacher, my fren n everything… a true sweetie pie… I used to call him Golu,,, he relly made my day by callin me up ,,, wen his name flashed on the cell phone I was so happy tht I dint know how to greet him.. rather how obliged I was to have his call… I ms say tht he was the first person to make me realize the hidden potential in me. In the end js wanna say thanku to him ,, for everything he has done for me… for every support,, for every advice and above all for all the confidence he has on me,, thank u dear….


After talking to him.. I finally decided to go to sleep still w8ing for Krati’s call.. Krati Srivastav.. another one from my Sophia gang,,, I have shared each n every secret of my life wid her,,n still I do,,, wenever I pass thru a new phase of my life she’s the first resort for me… she’s alwys so caring tht I never felt like being lonesome.. .untill I tell her the whole thing.. I feel like,, ki,,, there’s something missin… I ws w8ing for her call ,, n suddenly she called up.. I asked her the reason for being late.. ( I ws expecting her call since mrng yaar!! ) she innocently replied tht she thot if she cunt b the first person to wish me.. she wud b the last one to wish me.. n she was…. She was the last one to call me up,, we talked for almost 15 to 2 mins.. thn I finally decided to sleep,,, ,
As I was goin to sleep I noticed a mssg on my cell.. from Tanmay.. Oops!!! I ms say “T”anmay… yup!! Tht’s the way he likes it,,,
Tanmay is my net fren… its almost bein an yr I knw him.. bt I haven’t met him yet,,, for me he is a guiding uncle.. ( tht’s wat I call him),,, he’s always there to solve my probs,,, n guide me wenever I m rong… he’s a computer addict I ms say,.,, everytime online… js trying one or the other animation or any of the related stuff,.,, I don’t know wat made the bond between us grow.. ? I m still seeking an answer to this… everyday until I don’t have a chat wid him.. my day is incomplete… .. I wanna thank him for the fact tht being a stranger he trusted me ,, adored me,,, scolded me wenever I m rong.. n always guiding me…n also boosting my confidence which I always lacked until I knw him… thank you for inculcating in me the “T” attitude in me…
Thank u for everything…!!!!!!!
The dream wsnt to end there only…still I was expecting one more wish…
From Maulik Jain.. u can call him my elder brother, my friend n my mentor… we met thru internet.. yup!!! Another one of my internet frens.. waise the credit all goes to charu.. it ws becoz of her I cntcted him… n today,, he has fulfilled my wish for an elder brother. I was expecting his call ,, bt he dint turned up.. I ws upset,, I mssgd him tht he forgot my b’day.. this wsnt expected of him.. he replied to call me up.. n then on 18th evening he called up.. I was happy to receive his call n also was angry tht he was late.. he dint remembered… bt for wat he is to me,, in front of tht this small thing doesn’t matter.. he has helped me a lot since the time I know him.. all his help is unconditional.. n this is wat I was searching for.. thank u bhaiya,, for always supporting n guiding me ,,
THANK U ,,,, !!!!!! HATS OFF 2 U ...!!!!!


This is how my most memorable day of the yr 2007 ultimately came to an end… bt,, I m now looking for many more memorable days of my life… All the credit goes to my frens who made this day for me as a golden letter day of my life…. I js wonder if I dint had such frens ,, where wud I have ended…. Rather from where wud I have started….
