I don’t know how to start; I’m so blank. I’m at home while writing this because college has ended.
Yesterday, I felt like writing something about the five years that I had spent with my friends.
So,
I've never missed someone as much as I miss them. It feels like a piece of my
heart has gone somewhere.
So here I go. I know all of you, Kastury, Jyoti, Maya, and Sakshi, will read this open letter. Guys, It’s a beautiful journey with all of you. It's a journey where I find comfort. The love you gave was commendable.
The
journey with Maya can’t be explained; she was my roommate, and the time we
spent was awesome. The late-night talks about random stuff, sometimes dancing
together on the room balcony – oh my god, it was fun. The best part is that Jyoti,
Kastury, and Sakshi were our neighbors. So, it has become even more beautiful,
he-he, thanks to the warden.
So,
In the beginning, we were not 5; we were 12. But with time, it broke, but these
5 remained constant. Ups and downs came, but this bond didn’t break. So,
whenever I feel low or happy, sad, I have my go-to person, and of course, I
have a different bond with each of you.
The
beautiful thing about friendship is that they understand you; they never see
you sad. They are happy for you when you achieve something.
There is no jealousy if you get good marks or something else. So, I didn’t have
friends in school. I mean, I had friends, but there was always competition
regarding who would get better marks. That was it. But college was a bit
different for me. Those five years I will never forget in my life. I mean,
whenever I die, I’ll recall all these moments that I spent with my friends.
Unforgettable, for sure. Girls' friendship is a bit different, but I would say
it’s the best kind of friendship. They understand your feelings and are
emotionally available. When you have a bad time, they try their best to make
you laugh hard, and you find peace when you sit with them (dost sukoon hote
hai). Once, I was not feeling good, so I called Jyoti and said,
"Mujhe accha nahi lag raha," and she was like, "Mere ghar
aja." I went to her place, and she knew I feel good when I go outside, so
she took me out. We roamed the city, and literally, I started feeling better. Spending
two hours with a friend feels like two minutes.
The
late-night Maggi, random talks, always being there for each other, dancing in
the room, small fights, Kastury constantly saying, "Chalo chai peeni
hai," "Tum Maggi kha lena," foodie junction chaap—ohh, sometimes
going to the VC lawn for stargazing, sometimes having deep conversations about
life—all these I miss a lot.
I
remember I had a date planned with someone, but my mood was off for some other
reason, and I felt like not going. But Kastury came and said, "Kyun nahi
jaa rahi ho? Because of that? You can't do anything about it yet, so go and
relax." I replied, "Main tabhi jaungi jab tu mujhe chappal pehn ke
jaane degi. I like wearing slippers (my own comfort)." She was like,
"Thik hai, chali jana, but tum ja rahi ho. I don’t want to hear any other
excuse." Uff, how Kastury, Maya, Jyoti, and Sakshi decide my clothes when
I go on dates, but sadly, I never listen to them. I was like, "Main ye
pehn ke nahi jaungi." Sorry guys, but thank you for tolerating my stubborn
nature. And ofc, thank you guys for the princess treatment. I remember whenever
I was not well, I never missed home because you all never made me feel like I
wasn’t at home. You pampered me
more than my family did!
Sometimes, I wonder, do I even deserve such
amazing friends? Thank you for everything, guys. You're the best!
I
remember when Sakshi was dedicated to dance; she was like, “This is our last
year. We are going to perform on stage this year.” The dedication she put into
teaching dance to us dumbo girls was remarkable. Even remembering the easy
steps felt like death, but finally, we managed. Sadly, on stage, we forgot the
steps, and to our surprise, Sakshi forgot them too when she saw us. Maza aa
gaya tha, bhai us din.
Last year, we played cards simply because we knew we'd never get that time back—the time we spent together. I can't write everything in words, but it was an incredibly awesome time with friends. Thanks for making me believe in the power of true friendship. I don't know how much we'll stay in touch after college, but whatever time we spent together was so beautiful. That's all that matters—having a good time when you're together. I don't think so, getting low marks in exams it really matters, but regretting not going on a trip with friends will haunt you for a lifetime. I only say, Live in the moments with friends, enjoy as much as you can, make a lot of memories, and have fun.
Love
you so much, guys. I miss you a lot.
Your
QT - Sadhna
