Ess aka Remya

Remya…or Ess..
Other than the similarity in our names, we belong to two different categories of humans :) …but we always gel well…..
Remya, the first n foremost thing u notice about her , will be her smile..I know her from 2002, She used to be my roommate…She was the last one to enter the room in the hostel..We three were waiting to see her( 4 were in a room). When she came in, she had a big round bindi of sandalwood paste on her forehead, her duppatta was neatly done with a clip..She was very serious…then at a high speed , it melted..she was the one who introduced us with all the norms n places in tat ashram…Later we realized that she is more bubbly n active than she seemed to be in the first place…
She is my first Christmas friend…She gave me a diary with Meroon bind..I believe it was a matrubhoomi diary…we used to have fun..Then we had fought one day…Never talked to each other, for many months followed, for some reason which seems very silly when I look back now.. But then again, somebody brought us together and she became dear to me again..
She used to come to my room in hostel from her flat , just to enjoy our anthaksharies …She can make u smile with some very innocent remarks … Me Priya etc used to wait for her so that the blast is 100% …She was my partner in bunking Friday afternoon sessions, to go home…or rather I can say I used to brainwash her to do this : )…
Then she was always in my company to enter the classroom only by 9.30 evenwhen it regularly starts at 8.30…with a big broad smile while calling out “Misssss”
There are many more naughty things we have done together..Not very naughty as per the standards, may be...But we used to enjoy all those times…Even now whenever we r together we can feel the change in energy …..Good Old times!!!
I am very proud to say that very few people have seen her the way I did…I don’t really know how many understands the maturity she had behind her childish acts..
She is very different from Priya…When I have a very matured talk with Priya, with Ess it was more like I was/am dominating most of the time… I used to advise, scold etc etc..Sometimes it made me feel that she is my younger sister…May be it is like that even now…She empathises a lot for me. Sometimes she had shed more tears for my problems than myself…
Priya n I , we are very matured n grown ups before her even now…I respect her innocence….She is one of those people who never keep something in the corner of their heart n talk….
She is very sweet…One of the very sweetest n noblest persons….Very sensitive n emotional…I can assure you one thing, if you want to understand what she is, she has to allow you do so…Else you will just see someone else, not the actual her…I guess I am one of those blessed ones… :)
If you ask me about her then the first word will be ‘Bubbly…she is always bubbling with energy’

Then she follows diet for 2 days , n eat biriyani n burger etc on third day ( Well, priya told me tat she has stopped eating high calorie stuff…hmmm….I doubt :P )
One secret I can share here, whenever she feels bad for me, I melt :)
….She is good singer, very active n smart, crazy for Hindi , patriotic and ardent fan of Kendriya Vidyalaya, a big time kathi…lots n lots like tat… She has taught me to keep faith, be optimistic…

Slightest change in my character or approach , I know it will hurt her ….. So I care a lot …I can always pamper her :) like my sis , hug her like a friend ,console her like an elder….lots n lots…. She is also going to the next stage of a girl’s life….I wish her the best
I will always be there ….always….

Priyaa

Priya…

Well, I know her since 2002, when I joined for my B.Tech Course. But we started knowing each other better in 2006 ...during the final year and then during our first days in Bangalore.
What made us gel well ?? Well, simple reason tat we both were/are half cracks : P…
We are different in a lot of ways…but rather than forcing each other, I feel we both respect each other’s space n thinking….whether same or different…
We used to get same crazy ideas n most of the time we could read each other pretty well..
Funniest thing is both of us are equally childish n matured…. exchange the roles from a childish to a matured attitude most of the time …
Some situations had been common between us at different point of time…
Like….
First time wen I spoke to her , the topic was homesickness…She was cryin etc etc…
I think I acted like a “big bro” kind tat time : P … But nowadays I feel we have exchanged the roles ..hehehe..I cry n she consoles….

When we came to Bangalore, I still remember that we used to talk for hours n hours a day
..We used to call so often that Priya’s colleagues had ended up assuming that she has a boyfriend :-P …. Now people in my new team believe that I have a boyfriend : P … U know the reason ..dont u ?? Roles change!!!

The topic we discuss always range from literature , philosophy , religion, technology ….films, magazines….every aspect of our lives, changes we see…..changes we accept..which all things we should resist….our poems, writeups…everything…
The greatest thing is we have such a gr8 frequency match..so we never needed many words/questions to express or to understand what we felt. In her company I never felt stupid/ashamed about any of my thoughts or feelings…I am always sure that she will know what I feel beyond the words I utter ….
There were great many nights , wen we sat together discussing about deeper meaning of lyrics of songs, books , our love for nature , dreams ….till 2 or 3 am we’l be chatting…listening..Discussing ..making decisions….sometimes just go on dreaming like being among clouds , about clouds..about the beggar I/she saw on street…each new things we saw in our day today lives... ( Don’t be surprised, we used to do it ...) We enjoyed the activity so called ‘loud thinking/dreaming”.
These years , whatever changes we had in our lives, been always good… U can say “we grew together through our own experiences/thoughts “

Ayshu used to make fun coz our discussion used to become loud when everyone sleeps at 11-12 pm..and when somebody (Mostly Ayshu coz she’l be awake ) overhears, they will end up saying nothing other than “ These two are completely mad ”

Priya has a great sense of humor which can keep any group entertained and her target was Indu…later, coz of Ayshu’s ‘Great’ comments , the target was moved to Ayshu…I used to be a good listener…But she is one of those people who can understand my real face/feeling under my facial expression…
Priya has taught me so much in life…
Priya is the one who made me realize that distance or lack of a call cannot break a friendship….And whenever I was in UK , most of the time when I feel down , somehow I used to receive her mail with just two words in it ‘ hi dee ‘ or ‘da busy ?” …She knew the value of those two words..She knew how much I will welcome it….
She taught me wads called selflessness in friendship…she helped me to forgive people..She has been helping me to fight my confusions n problems..
She is always patient with me n my worries…
She never asked me to follow her advice…she always gave me directions to move forward …She never fought with me for not following her advice…or never bugged me with the question Why….
So always I could count on her on anything at any point of time….
Then there are so many more things about her …If I write everything down, I will end up writing 40-50 pages at least …

Now she is going to start her life … I wish her all the best n a lot of happiness around …
It has been always a blessing to have you around….It will always be …

picking up the gems ....

Friendship…well …U know wad it is and you know how it feels to be….
I think I should dedicate some of my posts introducing some of my very very good friends …my best friends …I often become a 100% nonstop express when I talk about them coz I have so much to tell you about them ……

I am not writing much about anything..but a few words now


“ My friends are the blessings in my life !! “
So from now on…I am goin to write abt them…recollecting the gems
