There's this supersmart guy on my Facebook page who has opinions on every single thing on this earth and hence he puts up a status update-Har ek friend ekdam zaroori nehi hota hai.
And he says I quote- I never interact with someone with the idea that somewhere down the line, I'm going to need him/her. During the Prince Williams shaadi phase - this guy said Omg I'm so tired of this marriage thing on news channels , I'd rather prefer a documentary on wildlife. There are documentaries running 24x7...who stopped you from watching :X
Coming back,
here's a list of my zaroori friends and their zaroorats :P
The anytime buddies-You need some friends whom you can call up anytime, whom you can call to share things that just happened in your life, whom to call to tell what shoes you bought yesterday , whom you call to tell how the Chinese at Zytoon tastes so good,to talk about the guy who just sat beside you at office bus, to talk about roommate sagas , or simply bitch about anything.To quote Amrita "Luv u all " :P
The night-walk buddy- Ahh those were the early days in Bangalore, when Srimoyee would sms me post 10pm, asking "Walk e jabi??Come near Liberty ". At a time when traffic has vanished , shops have closed and even street dogs stared at awe, we would keep walking through gullys and nukkads with the gentle breeze as company having a KFC Soft Twirl in hand discovering eateries and institutes, admiring beautiful houses in Koramangala and smiling at Bengali nameplates. Srimoyeeeeee, I miss those days, rather nights so much :(
The outing buddy- Be it 15 hours journey to Mumbai or 9 hours to Ooty or 6 hrs to Tirupati, ever since we came to Bangalore and thus left without a big group we used to have back in Chennai, Kaberi and me have been each other's travel partner. Ya, we survived the 30hr train journey back home too.
The chaddi-buddies- Dola and Jhoomi are like the sisters I never had and ever longed. We grew up in the same place with adjacent houses and we are so chaddi buddies that in most occassions we dont even remember each other's good names. They are among the few friends I can call anytime who would answer back with receptive voice on the other end and bombard you with news and gossips about the neighbourhood.
The study buddies-Thank you Sudeshna for Organic Chemistry, Amrita for Control system, Parnisha for Process control, Srimoyee for the DSP matrix, and Amrita again on whether Data Structure matrix is better than the book :)
The Tution buddy- Me and Arpita have never been to the same school but we always had a tution class in common right from Science tution in 10th , Chemistry tution in 12th to CAT classes.And post classes we would walk back home having icecream and phuchka, discovering new shortcuts each day :)
The Rules-n -refulations buddy- Whenever I want to know hw much is my speed post going to cost , or what is the smartest way to book a Tatkal ticket or whether sick leaves need to be availed by August only, all I have to do is to turn to Ratna and she has all the answers!
The work buddies- You all are really not work buddies, but training day buddies. I didnt really make any good friend post training days.So Neha, Arpita , Noor- we needed you to make Siebel days as energetic as you are, all the Sakthi girls hostel girls for making the Durgapujo, new year , christmas and every birthday memorable for life , and all you four girls in Bangalore for making life easier for each one of us.
Finally, They-make-you-feel-important buddies- Pallavi , Abhay(who dies to see his name in everybody's blogs !) Priyanka, Payal , Ria....chalo thank you for saying nice and sometimes embarrasing things about me!!
