For Nameeta...


Dearest Namidey,

You have always wanted me to write a blog about you and finally I mustered up the will to do it.

You are getting married, in what, 24 hours? and then you will change your FB status to married - Okay, you aren't that lame. I was thinking about about this complex thing called 'marriage' and I thought I'd write a nice post for you on that - after all, we are "Best Friends no da?"

Marriage does funny things to you - no, being pregnant is definitely not one of them - but it makes you happy and can put you down as well. It's a whole, long roller-coaster ride that you just gather up guts and go with it. Do not believe people when they say, 'Ooooh its fun, we are SO in love now' or 'It's the most blissful thing that ever happened to me' because one - they are lying, or two - they have not enjoyed or seen much of life. Marriage is definitely more than that - they say the first year is the hardest and I totally buy that. I have had my share of hard times and totally memorable times.

I know that you will make a great family. You have a real honest heart, though you act like a wood-chomping maniac at times. You are this person who just fills up an empty space (literally - he he) and that's something just incredible. I love the way you also shut up when I say leave me alone - not many do that, they actually bug me telling 'I'm there to help' when all I want is to be really left alone. I know that you are just a people-dealer, you know, just put up with all the weirdest ones (me being one). When you go to the big Apple, please make sure you still are the same and no one gets to change those awesome things about you (Yes Jude, I am looking at you!).

Some memories just for the both of us (and people, please DO NOT ask me):
The Karva chauth thing in office where you acted real funny (we both know why)
The man we fight for - "S" (he's still mine! :P)
The skirt and Bi story ( well, it worked,  didn't it?)
Cockroach and the cockroach from your side
How you made me not to wag my tail anymore to 'someone'
My buttermilk story (seriously, it was just gulped down okay!)
When you came to see me at the hospital (kutty ....)
Tequila (he he!)
My hate list (Who's number 1? - you better remember it and pass it on to my son okay)

There are more but I think this would make both of us smile....

I miss you already "useless, hopeless, see, men, mad only you are," girl. Oh and I totally forgot - I love the fact that you are my son's godmother because you were a friend who was there when I needed you the most and I hope that you'd be there always for him.

Don't give up when times are a little hard or when you miss home - always remember 'This too shall pass.' 

God bless you babe, and I truly mean that.
