Disclaimer:
If this story makes you wonder that I might be in love with a girl,
know that you're right. However, my sexual preference is still as
straight as it was before meeting this girl.
You may now read ahead.
Once upon a time...
It was around that crucial period in any student's life: getting admission in a decent college, the cut-off's for DU had been declared a day before and the rush in colleges was beyond imagination. Most of the girls wished for co-ed colleges, and there I stood in queue for admission forms at Gargi College, still unable to digest the fact that boys were going to become an extinct specie over the next three years. Nevertheless, what was important was that we could manage to get to Gargi with those awful 94% marks, given the current scenario of cut offs in DU.
It was a world where only girls existed, you may look left or right and as far as your eyes could see, you'd find only similar looking yet very different girls. Forms were filled, verified and forwarded for payment of fees when they met. She stood in line waiting for her turn to pay the admission fee when the never-ending chatting of girls caught her attention. Introductions: "Hi, I'm Richi from Delhi." "Hi, I'm Nikita from Agra." Course: Economics Hons. Destiny had it, they were going to make for the only batch of economics in Gargi College, as were 250 other girls. Then, they didn't know if it was a plight or a delight.
That was the day we met.
Months have passed since then and our hearts have grown fonder of each other by the day.
Here, I list few of the memories we share with a hope to create many more.
1. Mumbai college trip- A one of its kind trip for which I'll be ever so grateful to my college. Those 6 days including the train journey constitute a special memory. Fun in the room, dancing through the night, bus journeys, clicking weird pictures of each other, bitching about others, sleeping together :P (only, literally), agreeing to your request of straightening my hair which I would have never let anyone do if it wasn't for you, marine drive with you, eating out and the list is endless. Damn, let's do it again!
2. College- Without you, my college days define monotony. Be it talking during class, being chucked out for that, the never ending gossip, the men-ace, the Green Park and GK outings, my love for Dunkin Donuts, our shopping sprees, discussing our wild fantasies, our mutual desire for Mr. Grey, and the recent visit to Iskcon Temple. And how can we forget the college canteen ka samosa. Heaven can be bought in ₹5/-
3. Agra-Delhi-Agra
The day you leave for Agra is the day I start bugging you with questions as to when you plan to return. The girl who lives in Delhi but stays in Agra, yeah, that's how it is. I'm waiting for the semi-bullet train to start operation ASAP, for obvious reasons.
Agra toh aayi ladki university padhdi hai, kehti toh hai student hai, but I doubt. You don't attend college even when you're in Delhi. :/
4. Your pet dialogues
i) Mere sang- I'm reminded of the song 'mere sang' whenever you use this word. Such a cutie. Rich and Nik -Sang forever. <3
ii) Itne kam kapde pehne hai tunhe- Well, let's just not say anything about that. You have a strange opposition to me wearing shorts and skirts and sleeveless tops.
iii) Ladke kitne gande hote hai- Truth be told. Enough discussions about that, already.
iv) Baby/Babu- Our conversations are incomplete without the use of overly sweet adjectives. We know there's something wrong if there's no baby-ing each other. Also, the absence of 'xoxo' points toward men-ace. :P
v) Mere baal sabse lambe hai- Yes, you have the longest hair plus streaks, in our group. Thanks to your hair smoothening and other experiments, I'm not even close to being your competitor.
vi) Tu meri saari gandi photos daalti hai- Apparently, I always upload those pictures of you in which you THINK you look like the equivalent of 'kaam wali'. Nevertheless, I will continue to do so. :D
5) So, now I'm running short of words to write more praises for you. But still, you know, when it comes to writing about things and people I love, I can go on without stopping.
I'm so happy for you as you turn 19 today. I'm glad to have spent this one year with you and hope to spend many more. I wish that the only difference that we have to worry about is distance. You know, how much I care for you and love you. I'm like the sister you never had. I'm always gonna be there, even in your selfies, which reminds me that you're the selfie queen who doesn't tire of clicking selfies with my iPhone B-). Even when you call me in tears and I tell you that's not how you cry. We are the kind of friends who can share anything and everything without the fear of being judged. You're one person for whom I am ready to go that extra mile.
Who knew that the city that's home to one of the wonders of the world and the famous mental asylum could well, give me a wonder of my own world and a mental piece to deal with. Perhaps, That's the closest Agra and Delhi have ever come.
I love you.

Oh, and by the way, I just remembered.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIK!
