Way back in 2008... On November 19th.... Rajesh and I were sitting in my room and thinking about how to give Anvesh a surprise for his birthday. Anvesh was in the team which gave my best friend an unforgettable surprise. When I was planning a surprise for my best friend, I thought of giving a surprise, may not be of the surprise level that I gave to my best friend.
We had so many ideas and dont know which one to select and how to implement them. The biggest twist in the story was that anvesh was going to his village and it is a very difficult place to make our surprise reach there. Anvesh works at bangalore and hence we thought it would be easy to give a surprise through our common friends but his plans to go to his village left us with very few options.
What ever we are gonna do, we need Anvesh's address. So, first I asked anvesh gf to get the postal address. She tried her level best and she could not get it. We felt we cannot go ahead. Then came our hero Sandesh to rescue us. The greatest thing about sandesh is - he always takes responsibility and equally gets screwed for taking up the same :)))). We cannot stop sandesh's over action when ever he takes up the leadership. But he gives 100 percent effort and I like that. Now its Sandesh turn to get the address. But whom to call and what to ask ? Sandesh, with his heart in his mouth, called anvesh's uncle to get the address. But anvesh's uncle is so reluctant to give the address as he was skeptic about the total plot(some history has influenced him to think that way). Finally Sandesh got the address.
Now its our turn to decide what to give him. We had so many in mind but we wanted some thing that anvesh can preserve. So we wanted to buy trousers. May be it looks simple but I took hell lot of time to find a good one. Now we brought the trousers and its time to think about delivering it on the right day at right time :(.
We finally went with the option of speed post. We were biting our nails till the D day. We are not confident. On 24th November afternoon, My phone started ringing.. "Hi praveen.. I just got the gift.. Its gooood.. " and finally with a low voice he said "thanks praveen". Normally "thanks" doesnt exist between the friends rite ? but at times of happy moments it comes out unknowingly. That voice of thanks lacks something that "whether do I need to tell ?". Actually there was a greeting card made by me. It had a print out - photos of all other close friends and signature from them. The moment when I came to know about the arrival of speed post, I immediately called Sandesh and Rajesh and informed the same and we had some great moments to remember.
It was all about anvesh bday in 2008.
Back to 24th November 2009.... I was preparing very hard for GMAT/CAT. That was the month I was damn busy helping my best friend to finish off a task. This time I asked my best friend to wish anvesh and my best friend, busy with few tasks, forgot to wish. There was a big mess up on that day and ultimately it ended up with a fight. It was all because of me. I wanted to apologize my best friend for 10000000 times and I could not do that :(((((. On the flip side, I was the last one to wish anvesh. I like to be the last one to wish my friends and I stick to the timing of 11.57 - 11.59 to make the last wish on the birth day. I would be the first one to say advance bday wishes for the next bday :)))))). Copy rights with Ruffian :)).
Back to yesterday :)).. this time I dint even call him. Anvesh gave me his UK phone number and its not reachable :(.
Next Year.. Can I repeat 2008 or atleast 2009 ???
I will upload the Pic I have sent anvesh with the gift...
Will update soon...
