Dearest favourite person
Honestly, I don't know where to start.
Surprisingly, this part of the blog was the toughest part for me to write because this part of the blog is the one you know the most about.
This is the most predictable piece on the entire website.
Never has it ever happened that I thought about our friendship and I did not smile. I don't really remember how or when we hit off. I don't seem to recall how or when we started sharing things that are close to us. And I certainly don't remember how or when I realised you were not just another good friend of mine.
From calling you at 9:30 pm from Spandan just so I can say you a hi, to our conversations being almost like a daily routine nowadays, we surely have come a long way. Which seems funny because we got to know each other so well SO QUICKLY! Considering how little I knew you before 2nd year happened, I cannot help but giggle with joy upon the fact that we got to learn so much about each other in such a short span of time.
I have written so many long letters to tell you each time about a different aspect of your nature that I love. I have said "I love you" to you so many times, and every single time, it has been for a different reason, for a different quality of yours that I cherish.
And yet, I always feel there is a piece of your nature that still deserves to be celebrated. Every time I plan on writing something, I always feel that what I've written is not enough. That you deserve more love than mere words.
And maybe that is the wonder of you.
So while I thought what to write in this part of the blog, I said to myself, "What is it that I should tell Praggu that she doesn't already know?"
What part of our friendship should I celebrate on your birthday today?
It's this -
You, my dear friend, have made me a better person.
I know, this small sentence probably comes out as something pretty generic. But picture this -
We are sitting together at say the centre of Spandan. It's almost 11 and it's time for you to go. We've just finished venting out every sort of emotion that exists in the world, and we could have gone on and on if not for the time. I feel really happy, like I always do after talking to you. We walk to the gate of your hostel, say our "good night"s and turn away.
But then I turn again and shout - "Praggu sunn, ek last cheez kehni hai"
And then I walk up to you and say this -
"You, my dear friend, have made me a better person. And I thank you for that."
Abhi impact aaya na?!
***
Life can be a hot mess sometimes. But with someone like you, being messy is truly beautiful.
So, my dear Yellow Lays, as you finally reach the end of the blog, I give you a flying jhappi for everything you mean to me. You know how I feel about our friendship, so I don't think I should bore you any further xD
"Mai Pragya ke saath hoon"
With true love. All of it.

Ps. Please ek photo khichva yar apni. We don't have a single pic together.

Dear Swapna darling,
ReplyDeleteI have no words. Friendship with you was so incredibly unexpected and surprising (unexpected because, like you said, I don't how we became so close so fast; and surprising because of how easy it was....like it was the most natural thing in the world to be able to trust someone new with all my heart).
I've said this before, but there is just one simple word that accurately describes how I feel about our friendship: grateful. I am so so so grateful to have someone like you, someone who understands me so well and who's always there for me. You have made me a better person too, but then I think you knew this already.
Thanking you for this - this amazing gift which is easily one of the best and grandest ones I've ever received - would be simply impossible. Just like it's impossible for me to adequately thankyou for everything else.
I know I am very kanjoos with my 'I love you's, but I hope you know that's how I feel.
A big fat "same to youuuuuu" for every single sentence you've written.
DeleteExcept the "I love you" part of course. I'll keep saying "I love you" if it is meant for you every single time.
So "I love you" ❤
Also, since you have to suffer by staying with me forever, I hope you know ki mere hote hue, I'll find every small reason to celebrate you. Your birthday was just a bahaana to make this blog, I'd have made it anyway xD. This is who I am, can't help it.
Cheers Praggu! And thanks for your beautiful comments. You've brought a big smile on my face 😄
