My Dear Friend

This post is about perhaps the favourite person of my college life. May be not always acknowledged, but nevertheless true. She is always there, irrespective of the circumstances I’m in. And she’s omnipresent. Always ready to help whenever you need, even if you don’t ask.

You need a shoulder to cry on, she’s there.

You had a bad day and want to be cheered up, she’s there.

You are not feeling well, she’s there to tend.

You are feeling low, she’s there.

You are feeling like jumping around and singing on the top of your voice, she won’t think of you as a weirdo.

You are wearing some stupid silly dress which you won’t even let you maid wear and you hear someone complimenting you, you know it’s her.

You can actually see your flabs making a tyre around you, she comes and says, “Arrey pagal hai kya? Tera aur mera size same hi hai.” (She’s leaner than size zero by the way!)

You need to get a gift for your crush and its just 15 minutes left for your hostel to close, be sure she’ll come with you.

You’re getting late in the morning but want to put on a particular pair of earrings and you’re unable to do so, she’ll leave everything and help you with it even though she has an exam in 10 minutes!

As usual, you’re late for a party and still unable to decide what to wear, stay assured! She’ll get ready in 5 minutes and pick out atleast half a dozen dresses from your own cupboard which you never remembered having!

Hostel night is about to start in 10 minutes and you want to wax your legs. You haven’t ever done it before and you have heard it hurts like hell. She’s gonna be the one to do it and so soothingly, that you won’t even know when it got started and finished.

You’re missing a particular friend who has moved out of the hostel. Stay assured! If she meets them tomorrow, your message will be conveyed. She never forgets!

You wanna do a French plait for college and you don’t know how to do it. She’ll wake up immediately and start working on your hair. And she will do the same thing for any other hostel girl as well – will skip her breakfast, miss half of her first lecture so that you could go with a French plait to college.

You are having a sudden craving for choco truffle and you ask her if she could come along, she would actually come from whichever part of the city she’s in!

Sometimes I wonder, “Is she for real?” Sometimes she's invisible, behind the scenes, in shadows. But the moment you need her, she emerges. I truly have never seen such a self sacrificing person my entire life. Dear Lord, please bless her – for all she does. And for all she says. And for all she thinks. Infact, she should be blessed simply for existing. Coz people like her make the world a better place to live in.

Ms. G, love you loads baby! You are the best!
