Inspired to Thank the Almighty

If one day in the future, I do not have any friend, I sure hope I don't read this post.

God, you are Awshummm! How else could I be blessed with so many other friends? Yes, that is the only logical explanation that I have with me. God, you are Awshummm and you have a soft corner for me! :D

Where should I begin? I know where to end. So I will talk about now, like today, like 2 hours before now! I shifted to Raleigh 3 weeks back and I have just wonderful flatmates! Sid, Eeshaan and Anubhav. Before coming here, I was hoping I would enjoy with them, now they almost seem like brothers. Touchwood.

There was an awesome flat in Munirka. Some 10 mins walk from my place. When I was back in India..

Yes there were a few really crazy people, who came together every second day, sorry night, to just go mad! We use to play Dumb Charades, watch movies, go out for late night drives, sometimes dance, sometimes walk and well sometimes just talk.. It was amazing the amount of joy it seeped into my life.. It was an overdose but that really was one overdose I was glad to have.. :)

You know guys, they threw a farewell party for me. I can stand up to anyone and argue that it was the very best farewell party that anyone would've got! There were about 20 really awesome friends and my sister who made me feel so special that it would be unjust to describe it in words. There were disco lights, funky costumes, crazy posters, loud music and well a topless cake. I normally don't name people in my posts, but I take the liberty right now to do just that. Nidhi was the person behind it all. She is one person who can stretch her limits to really make you feel special. To do that one special thing for you that you can never forget. The farewell party was one of the many such things you have done for me..

Of course I have to mention Sonal di, Golu, Isha, Kawi, Nayan, Funny, Meena, Bihari, Vaishali, Deepali, Avi, Abhi, Mohit, Paggu, Haggu, Yash, Veeram, Dude, Shubhi.. Hemu, Ankur, Navneet and Ritu send me audio/video messages which were played then. I felt so loved. I cannot really bring that out clearer than this.. :)

There are some other friends on whom I have relied on and not been disappointed. Anshuman was like this life changing mentor that I found in my second/third year. He is now the most valued source of time pass for me.

Rupesh is the friend in my department who helped me take quite a few decisions. Actually forget decisions, he helped me complete quite a few assignments! He has been this mix of extreme intelligence, humor and an awesome attitude which I learn from.

Daddu was the reason I passed quite a few courses smoothly, including Optics :D Babba, Bansal and all my dulla and B.tech friends have been so helpful that if I start adding their names here, this post will never end!

Rudraksh is this guy from Amity who doesn't get tired of pinging me :D But he does ensure that I am never alone, when I am alone. I like it or not is a separate matter! ;)

Nabankur/Nabi was my seat partner in FIITJEE :D He came to IIT with me and he was one guy I could talk to if I was disturbed at 3 at night. Coz that is the time he use to come online ;)

Remembering FIITJEE, I met Ankur Sharma and Ashu then. They are both like brothers to me. And I feel they played a huge huge role in helping me through JEE..

Vandana, Aditi, Arunima and Khushee were four other awesome friends with whom I share some really memorable moments. The trio of Aditi, Arunima and Khushee were never the best friends and it was a regular routine on my birthday parties to be asked by one of them, if the other two are coming :D But I really thank them for making it to most of them :)

When I was in 1st class, I was partnered to sit with Neha. One morning when I reached she was sitting on the other chair from where she was supposed to and the one which was supposedly hers, was filled with water. She was not budging and our class teacher, when she came, also didn't have a clue on what to do. Then I saw Anurag and an empty chair next to him. He gestured to me to come and sit.. That was probably one of the first significant helpful gesture that I remember.. He became my really close friend after that :D

Before that I remember I and Ayush were like these crazy monkeys in KG. We used to run here and there even during the class when the teacher use to look away. I had a talk with him yesterday itself.

In nursery, I was in another school. In there I just remember three people. One hugely competitive brother and sister and my seat partner who had this "kada" on his wrist which I really use to fancy!

And of course my first ever friends were, well, my Dad, Sonal di and Sheenu di.. I felt I didn't need anyone else with them around. Of course when we grow older, we become more greedy ;)

Most of you would have seen this video, but just for completeness.

I feel right now that life is a sinusoidal curve and I am at the very peak. That feeling is awesome but at the same time I feel maybe its not going to be as good as it is right now. I wish to thank God, before its too late to remember his kindness. Thank you Almighty.

Love you my friends. You give me a high that keeps me floating. You give me support when I feel like I am drowning. You bring me down on Earth, when I become mad. You give me a reason, to smile. To smile really wide.
