Srilu, me and the ever lasting fight !!!!

This post is no way related to life at IIM Lucknow and its just my thoughts about one of my close friends.

Under construction...

So its still under construction...

23rd Nov

Finally the time has come... If I dont write now.. Srilu may kill me..

I was damn busy for the past few days... I will write on that in my next post... for now.. this post is for srilu...

I have started this post long ago and dont know what to write.. but I have something to tell about her.. and I dont know whats the limit to which I can write about her..

When I first saw Srilu at PEC, I Felt pity about her. She is so lean and looks so tired. I used to feel pity when ever I saw her at college. Once we became good friends, I used to feel pity about my self. She used to make fun of me 24*7 especially using Sam's and appu's name. I used to feel happy when ever she comments me using Sam's name and not the same in the other case, and she knows this point.

I remember the day when I fooled her telling that Anvesh was in love with some gal. I told her the story in such a way that she believed it to full extent, felt pity about anvesh's situation and suggested some thing that I dont remember. Though I made fool of her and dint even say a "sorry", but still we are good friends. Thats Srilu. There are "n" number of incidents where I should not have done "that" way, especially related to Srilu. I hurt her so many times and I know that.

After joining in HSBC, I dint talk to any of my friends because I used to sit before the system at HSBC for 24*7. I dint talk with srilu for 4 to 5 months after leaving college and it was she who remembered me and called me back. I still remember the way she spoke on that day - "I dont feel like talking with you praveen.. you dont think about others and you dont care about others". May be she was right at that time, but there was a big transition in my life after few months from then. The start of a change in my life and I dont want to talk about it as this post is dedicated to srilu :).

I remember the days where I used to feel emotional about my best friend when talking with Srilu. She never wants me to get in to deep troubles and I never listen to her. But the best thing is that she listens to me very patiently and never feels bored. She was the first one to congratulate my best friend (on phone) when she cleared an exam. Of course it was me who conveyed it and so I am the first not Srilu :).

Apart from these, the worst thing is that I never remember her birthday. I made her call my best friend's friend to wish him on his birthday (wishes from 20 different friends of mine and srilu was one of them). But I never wished Srilu on her birthday.

She calls me and asks me only one thing - "Praveen you remember my birthday ?". I dont know what to answer for that question. When ever I talk about friendship, she says only one thing "You dont remember my birth day and you dont even have right to talk about our friendship".

The only thing that makes me feel happy and that remains between us as friendship is "a watch presented to her by me!".

I cannot forget two things about her - patience and caring.

Funny part, though she doesnt eat non veg, she eats our brain with her non stop counters.

Now her marriage is fixed and I wish her all the best. She is a good gal and I definitely believe she would be having a very happy married life. I know I cant get back those funny moments because I know how a gal behaves once her marriage is fixed.

When my child asks me who are your close friends... I would definitely include Srilu's name.

All the Best Srilu....
