From good friends to best friends!

i was writing this two years back but never published it. thought i had found the time just now in the room of this flat in mauritius where there is silence and lot of time for me to put forward my memories.

its been more than 2 years since i reopened this and writing the subject matter.

After the firt meeting in ANAND theatre and spencers mall, she had felt happy to meet me personally. thats why she came the next day to meet me at the same place. i too felt happy to meet a girl who was very decent and well mannered and seemed to come from a very cultured family. i did not knew how exactly girls of the brahmin families are but i got a glimpse that they are soft spoken and very cultured:)

i went back to mumbai after a stay for 2 days in chennai and continued with my stay with my cousin sister and her husband till the time i was getting a project. i had contacted a company when i went to chennai. they tld me that once they finalise, they would call me for the Dip project which made me happy. But then i was also looking for some opportunity in mumbai which made me stick to that place.

i was luckily at home by the time the great deluge of July 26 came in mumbai. i came home in the afternoon itself when the rain had actually started so i was not stuck anywhere. and i can say i was lucky enough to survive becos had i stayed out, i would have been taken away by the waters and could have been flushed in the sea thru some open manhole! i didnt know even to swim!

all this while i was was continuously in touch with sneha for a long time. i was constantly smsing her and she was constantly smsing me back every now and then. that made us closer. also the fact that i was not treated properly by my cousin sister family also made me bend towards sneha for her love and care. i knew that she genuinely cares for me thru sms and the way she used to talk when i used to call her often from the STD booths.

in between we used to tease each other and pull each other's legs. for instance when i got an opportunity to go the the studio of POGO i told her that i met and anjali and liked her very much. she didnt like it much was quiet feeling possessive about me. she later sent me sms that she is happy that i got a girl in my life (which was actually a joke by me). when i called her after the office she said that she actually cried becos of the fact that i talked about anjali. i said i was just pulling her leg. But she let me feel as if she was possessive about me and wouldnt like any girl talking to me.

then there were other instances when i pulled her leg too much and she cried saying never to ay such things to her or not to pull her leg too much so that she cries. one day i even went and called her from an STD booth and started crying just becos i had broken her heart and said lot of unwanted things like i dont like her and dont want a friend like her in my life.. etc etc. So i apologised and asked sorry for all that. That was the first time i was crying on phone. and that too by talking to a girl. she said shame-shame. and said that people must be watching me and a boy cry. well i had no problem in crying in front of a girl. so i cried :)

when i looked back i saw a queue(line).. where people were standing behind me outside the STD booth to call:) i thot i made them wait for too long :) this was exactly 2 months since we met and we had become best friends. we used to share everything. our sorrows, laughter, joy and excitements.i knew i had found a true friend after too long in my life.
