Things Left Unsaid

right now I'm in an internet cafe and nobody's online. i just read shilpa's mail and I'm all senti.... its unbelivable. i feel this whole sense of unreality descending on me. while i'm happy that shilpa is in Kerala and that our clan is completely here, I'm also at this moment feeling kind of lost. shilpa was one of the last of my best friends to get out of that place... the last real connection to riyadh city(other than my parents) and now its all for certain. we're going to college. our lives are going to change beyond recognition. we're going to meet new people, new teachers and have new experiences. and most of all and worst of all...we wont be with each other.

so this post is to all my friends, who've been there through the best and the worst times of my life. this post is to all my friends....the old and the new, the guys and the girls.

of all my friends, the one who stands out the most is maryann. literally as well as figuratively. girl...u have been a rock to me. i'll never forget the times we had... lambasting boys, playing basketball( remember how nobody used to let us play on the same team???), playing pranks on classmates and yugs, bunking classes together(official bunking rullz!!)...the list goes on and on.... oh, and of course i'll never forget interschool with u. gurl with u on any side..they will never lose. i had the best four years of my life with u... thank u doesnt even cut it.

then there is beena and aparna...the two of u are like paper and glue!! an unstoppable team... i know there have been times when i wasnt fair to both of you and i am sincerely sorry for that. but we moved on to become such an awesome team together... from basketball to decorating corridoors and classrooms to winning talentia... we were the bomb!! i'll never forget the love and support and most of all- the fun!!!

next of course, is shilpa and nimisha. a crazy pair if there ever was one. the systematic and intensely loyal nimi and the colorful and bubbly shalapolia. you guys are the best EVER! i cannot remember a time when nimi and i didnt stand and talk after school, waiting for our dads to pick us up. i dont know why but just hearing your voice makes me laugh. you've been a great comfort to me over the past 6 years that i have known you...thank u gurl....
and shilpa,chippy, sippy, shilps... homie....what would i do without YOU?? without u there wouldnt be andaman or bykergurl... there would be nobody to glitter up the pages of my slambook or bring sparkle, flair and colour to my life... i can honestly say that u and nimisha are the style gurus of our clan...

and of course limia, geslin and shadia....limca!!!! comic genius!!! u've cracked us up more times than i can rememeber!! ur imitations and sound effects are the BEST!!! missing you!!!
geslin...who else will i discuss the ethnicity and ultimate hotness of keanu reeves with??? ur such a fab girl and i had soo much fun with you!!!
shaddo...shady!!! when will i ever see that pretty face again?? i know i was not all that close to you, but the 9 of us would never have been complete without you!!

u girls are the dearest people i ever knew...the best part of my life. you've stuck with me even when i was bossy and arrogant...u guys were with me all through the crazy nemo phase... there are no words to describe exactly how sad and happy i am right now. my life was so empty without u all... i thank God that we all found each other.

and of course i will never forget the best batch of girls to hit IISR.... XII - G, batch of 2006 - 07.....u are the best bunch of gurls EVER!!! the best classmates i ever had the privilege to be with. our shared experiences and the fun i had with you all are unforgettable and mind-blowing!!!

next are the guys who made the last two months of my life fun. the only ting i could do was watch tv and go online... and online is where i found the nuttiest guys i know. jibin,antony, naimul, sagar and arun... u guys are the closest i've come to being friends with guys. thats because in riyadh i was always closeted up... somehow i never met guys my age that i liked... but anyway thank you so much... you people are truly cracked and i had fun chatting to u all...LOL...

alrught then...i would love to go on and on but i am cut short by time... i love all of you... in your own special way u have shaped my life and the person i am today. u have each of you brought out a different trait in me and wish all of you ouit there the best of luck....

always and forever...
