A(nother) love letter on your b'day ;)

Dear Priya,

 

Everytime we talk about how we became friends, it takes us back to the water-cooler in C block, second floor. You showed the way. And it is not just in the literal sense, you always had a soothing presence, a spirit that people would admire both in your presence as well as in your absence. We all have learnt many things from you. 

 

From the most bizzare capture of moments, to locking the front door after fests so that people stop asking their photographs right at the moment.. I hope, it sins me less, if I confess that I was actually selfishly happy that sleep did not come to till 2/3 or even 4 am at times, for I could use the washroom and don't have to be scared of the monsters & ghosts...for you are awake and you will come to save me. And I cannot stop laughing, that you would listen to my footsteps- leaping,  running back from the washroom and turn into lighter footsteps of a calm and composed person as I would approach the door of our room.. lest you get disturbed or know that I was running.

 

Such happiness & pleasures.. the fact that you and I had almost the same bar for cleanliness helped me ( let's keep that utterly organised Marie Kondo out of this for now, as that needs a separate post of its own with photos ;)). I loved how I could actually see the transformation from a lazy sleepyhead to beauty personified in just a fraction of seconds! 

 

Broken glasses reflect light way more effectively and beautifully than the unbroken ones. Even when the days are tough, and the days feel heavy, or the soul tired, know that you are loved and thought about all the time. Stay healthy, keep smiling and love yourself to the fullest! 

 

We all are deeply and lovingly connected by a bond we can call as friendship.. it always brings happy tears in my eyes to be able to be with you all. <3

 

Cheers to the day you were born!
