To J...from E
Sometimes people enter your life and just rule over your heart completely...they enter as friends and leave as family....
I moved to bangalore ....first time outta home... in 2001 and was alone in the city, stranded...trying to settle down in the job(thx to a horrible boss) and searching for a house and missing home tonnness.....
And then happened to meet J through some common frds and she too was looking for a partner to share the house with and we started the house hunt together...not realising that in the 3 yrs together....we would not be sharing the house but each others life as well.....
J and me were family...doing everything together....remember all the treks, trip, outing we had, all the crazy movies we saw, all the low times she and I had, the first surprise bday party she threw(my best bday ever) and all the surprise bday parties each yr after that, all the times she was there beside me when I was sick..all the time we talked and chatted for hrs, all our post dinner walks followed by juice.....watching TV together, eating dinner together everyday, paying bills, all the time she cooked and I sat and watched TV and got served:-)...she being there ALL the time during my wedding, coming to chennai to see me the last time in blore.....EVERYTHING....
Bangalore felt home coz I had a family in her....and now that shes moving on for further studies I know blore will never feel the same again..no J to wait at the airport late night to welcome me:-(
But I want you to know you will always remain special to me!...and at this moment of celebration when you are stepping into a new phase of life to fulfill your PHD dream....all I can say is that....I still will be your family no matter which part of the world u are in....I will be by your side whenever you need me....
All the very best J ...you deserved this for all the hard work and effort you made and u deserve the best of everything....just be your lovable self always and u will continue to win many hearts and find a family everywhere u go....

Me first? Awww...thats such a sweet way of appreciating ur friend for all that she's been to u!
Wishing J goodluck frm me too. :)
Now that is what I call a good good bye. You just made me realise how important friends are.
That is sweet.. I have always heard the phrase, family you are born with, friends you choose.
Sometimes we make bonds that last a lifetime, and we are always glad to have made them.
Nice writeup
=)
Wishing J all the best.....
such a beautiful post, straight from ur heart....
:)

Meeting as strangers, becoming the best of friends.. the good things in life. Wishing her the very best in life and to the two of you.

"many pple will walk in and out of ur life but only few will leave footprints on ur heart"
One of my favorite quotes here, sure J has left footprints on ur heart.
very touching there. I wish J all da best 2.
All the best for your friend,J
So sweet of you!!! A fantastic way of expressing your love and friendship. Couldnt have said it any better. :)
I hope your you guys stay liek this forever. Good luck to J!!!
Hey Ekta,
Beautiful blog!
Wish I can retain my equivalents of your friend "J", in my life. After all what is family? More than blood relations, it is the sharing of joys and sorrows me thinks.
Hey...This is such a loving, caring and deep appreciation for your family. You guys are great together! :)
hey WB Ekta! How was the zoo? :)
awww J sounds like a great person to know. Im sure she'll appreciate ur deep appreciation of her and also will propser where ever she is. Cos she sounds like a success in every aspect of life - mainly being a friend.
Keshi.
that's sweet :) good luck with the phd program. that's a long one! i used to roommate with one of my bestfriend for 2 yrs. then she graduated and went back to indonesia. i miss being with her...we're the crazy ones! *LOL*
i hope to see her soon. as soon as i figure where i would like to go next year.
how was your trip to SG?
Isn't it amazing how much of how we feel about a place is tied up with the people who live there?
One of the most heartbreaking things for me in life is how the world is changing around me as I grow old. My town is not the same. Most of my friends left the town. MOst of my bachelor friends got married and now we maintain a "formal" relationship.
But the silver lining is, I still have my best friends. I guess we all miss some gain some as we go through life
Beautifully writte..you got me missing my really good friends..!
And good luck to "J"!
you are lucky to have a frnd like J*touch wood* don't let go of her!

She might be of help for my future Job interviews...hahaha....:)
so sweet:)..true that sometimes frnds can make even the horriblest or places seem awesome!..
oh myb good ness. i had become immune to this feelings. atleast as my latest crush i say in ryze.com page " controlling the emotions " i had gone through these page a plenty with plenty around me since my child hood slowly i had given a logical flow diagram to it that it doenst make a big differnce atleast i dont exhibit it. but just used to it.
the more funny practicall part is the family which we were so involved slowly you will visuallise and expeirence to be not the part of it how ever emotional we say when we are at the junction of parting or forced to move out by distance ( literal)
one fine morning you will wake up from bed and will realise the family which you were a part is just a memory and nothing more that gives a good and nostaligia and some time a bad feel of it.
but it will happen sure to happen. very few can win over it.
The quest for me to win over is still continuing... still have not waken up from the bed.
some times the memories remain only with one and the other would have crossed the boundary with no past too...
but dont chase the past which i had once written. chasing the past pains the heart but yet have to do.. try to avoid it... to make another past to leave it behind
Thts well written
one regret that i have is that i have always stayed with my family
never had this staying someplace else with a roomie and all
wud be nice
Wow ekta...so beautiful...you remind me of my hostel buddies and life...
what a frienship . it would had been better if the ending is complete . maybe not . reminds me of the movie . beaches . she is ' wind beneath my wings ' indeed .
Sounds to me like J has a very true and dedicated friend in you.
I think your both lucky to have each other, some people wait lifetimes for those kinds of friendships!
Have a great weekend!!
hey,ekta ...very touching .. u reminded me of the times when me n my best friend were together.
Strictly:- hey trust me...u need to stay outta home atleast once to experience life and the true meaning on independence...i feel like staying away from home for almost 5-6 yrs now has made me grow up soo much!
Contended:- haha yeah maybe..except that she doesnt intend to get back into corporate rut but wants to eventually teach!
Shakhi:- *Fate determines who comes into our lives. The heart determines who stays forever." *
aww ..so beautifully said...i cldnt have said it better myself..sums it up perfectly!
Why:- absolutely true..guess its not the place...but the people that make all the difference!
Known:- *but dont chase the past which i had once written. chasing the past pains the heart but yet have to do.. try to avoid it... to make another past to leave it behind *
Absolutely true...in fact i do beleive that in order to move ahead..one has to first let go the past...but have also realised its a lot easier said than doen coz sometimes we tend to look at memories of the past to carry us through tough times!
Raghav:- hey dont worry...u have ur whole life ahead to experience staying away...but make sure u experience it atleast once in ur life!
Varsha:- awwww...i hope I didnt make u sad and hope ur still in touch with your hostel buddies!
John:- *wind beneath my wings *....wow...u read my mind on this one..cldnt have said it ebtter myself!...thx for dropping by!
Meg:- hey indeed I do consider myself lucky to have her in my life...she was almost like god sent angel in my life!
Rainy:- thx...and guess friends always do this to u dont they!...leave u with such good memories that u find difficult to break away!
she is lucky to have a sweet friend like you..!! lovely post..!!
Wishing J all the best! :) That's a really nice post, and J must feel special to have a friend who cares so much.
Thanks for dropping by.. !
some ppl enter our life for a reason...it maybe for the better or for the worse...i am glad that u met such a soul...frenz are beautiful treasures
hello ekta !
reading u after ao long , but what a timing ! U made me feel the way u have wriiten , beacuse I am going to miss my fren N , so much . He is going for studies abroad and I dont know when will I meet him again. Like u used to go with J for late night walk, juices , watching Tv , cooking ! I used to go with my fren for late night partying , asking each other to finance for the drinks and dinner, singing Kishor and RD songs, playing pranks with others , chasing females..hehehe !
Life has so much changed for me since I moved to Hyderabad after my job ! suddenly , I have become a no nonsense guy , once used to be totally senseless.
thanx ekta for making me remember those old,cold,windy nights with a bottle of Old Monk!!!
Happy times become happiest, sun shines the brightest 'n sorrows make a quick exit when friends are around... Happy Friendship Day!! ^_^
...enjoy weekend too muaahh!
cheers,
