"Oh my Friend! " :-)

Oh my Friend.......When I stepped out of the house first time to go to school, you were the first person I met apart from my family. Got into a solid relationship. Little did I know that I would be experiencing the purest form of relationship ever possible :-)

Oh my Friend.......Be it winning a small competition, getting the first offer letter, the first promotion, successfully proposing a girl, a big achievement in my career.....any joy for that matter, you are the one with whom I have raised a toast in celebration every single time :-)

Oh my Friend........yes, we had difference of opinions, we fought over trivial matters and we also stopped talking for a brief while. But I never tried analyzing whose mistake it was. All that occupied my mind was how to compromise and how to start talking again and I know that was what even you were thinking about :-)

Oh my Friend........As a person it becomes difficult to share some deepest feelings or emotions with anyone....sometimes not even parents or spouse and if there is one such thing which I have to share with any one person in this world, without a second thought it would be you :-)

Oh my Friend..........You were never a stranger to me. Your house was never far to me, I always had a second home where I could barge into the kitchen any time of the day to grab drink or two from the refrigerator, ask your mom to prepare something nice to eat, have a place to spend the night if it was too late to go home. Could I have dared to do all these in anyone else s house?? (they would have killed me) :-)

Oh my Friend...........We have different goals, we have different career lines we may not meet and chat very frequently but when it happens no matter how long the gap is, I am sure we would be able to have a fantastic conversation and a hearty laugh as if we meet up and chat everyday and trust me this can happen only with a friend :-)

Oh my Friend..........Would never have enjoyed my journey of life this much without you....
A standing ovation for a wonderful never-ending partnership :-)
