You. Yes, you...

There are some things which can just make you stop, take a deep breath and just look. Look at that person/thing which just took your breath away, maybe if not to that extent, but still leave you wondrous and in awe. It could be a moment, a rare sight, a moment when you felt truly loved, or a naughty thing you did with a person you are completely comfortable with.

I do mix very easily with people; people who enjoys being with people; people with whom one can have fun with. But, I don’t get close to very many people. Maybe it’s a self-preservation thing. It so can happen, that YOU might feel close me, but I won’t. Heh, I can’t explain that. So, because of this, I have had many friends, but very few close friends. In fact I can count them off my fingers (from Kindergarten). So, here are a few words of respect to the people who came into my life, influenced me (or are influencing me), truly cared about me (maybe still do) and I did the same for them.

I will go chronologically or will I not? Not sure. But, I will not write names, as I do not want this entry to hit search engines. If they will ever read this, they will know who they are, if not, then… :~) …these words will still be here.

As I was sitting in the room, I did hear this person swearing really strongly at someone on the other end of the room. Apparently they had a fight over lunch. In looks, that one could be described as the most common face, but the smile…she had a Monalisa smile. I was a loner, I rebellious child (still am, but subdued version…lol), an introvert, and used to sit on the last bench because of my height. It was my first day in class. I was in my pink frock, and feeling very conspicuous amongst the ‘green’ery around me. Next day I went to her and asked if I could share my lunch with her. Now, here I can not even begin to describe the importance of sharing lunch over the lunch-break. It defines a boundry, a circle of trust, a group with a set of rules which you must adhere to. Ofcourse, it was not known to me that time. Naïve, I would like to call myself. So, after hearing my request, the girl I used to sit beside in class, looked at me with hatred in her soon-to-be averted eyes. Of course the person at whom the question was directed understood, and accepted me gladly in her ‘group’ after expressing her surprise at the request. 6 girls we were; very unusual, of different backgrounds, different thoughts, and different temperaments. Anyways, that was the day and this is the day. We still share the same bond which we did those years ago. We have fought over silly anonymous calls to guys, we have discussed logic behind a stupid geography paper, we have failed tests together and got punishments together for talking too much, had an amazing crush on a Mr. Caprio.( my crushes moved on to rough looking guys since then, but she is still smitten with him ;~) ). I think I still have that scrapbook on every little piece of article about Titanic or Dicaprio. Its funny, how we could never stopped talking to each other, there was always something to talk about…something to conspire about, something to do, something to gossip about.

I was so lost without you in that new city I moved to. It was hard to cope up without you. I had not idea, who to trust or who to turn to for help in need. They were ready to pounce on me, ready to use me or crush me and move on. I was so used to you.

But, I did survive, though it took me a while. Your letters kept me going and I still have still treasured them. I can never tell you how much your friendship meant to me, how it has helped me through hard times. How good I feel when you still get mad at me for my wild and crazy love stories. How much your support means to me. How the fact, that you never judged me and always stood beside me matters to me. I can’t explain all that to you. But I can just tell you that you are one of the precious gems I will always treasure, and be sure that I will be there for you...until I can.

Wow! I did Go overboard with this one. :~) Well, there is more to come and I will edit it in near future. With exams and projects over, I have else nothing much to do….but now, I am sleepy
