For this very special friend..

This post goes out to one very special friend in my life.. A person very close to me, one who has been with me through all my highs and lows.. And I know one thing for sure, we will always be there together.. Its her birthday today and these are few lines I had written a year or two back on her birthday.. This is my Parul.. :) Miss you..

This girl is called Parul

You know her, you have had many talks,

But its a nice time to tell you why,

my Parul really rocks!!

A girl with a lovely, mischievous smile,

and a laughter, she has little control upon,

Oh God, sometimes she starts laughing,

and then carries on and on and on!

Riding with her funny helmet on,

Enters into the college, but then on...

Her sight is a rarity, she's ms.invisible,

Search for her and she's already gone!!

A dancer of high caliber and variety,

she dances with an amazing grace..

Its a treat then, to watch the expressions,

that light up her beautiful face..

For a girl with intelligent brains,

Even does acting and paintings with a zest..

Enthusiastic with and dedicated to work,

Truly an all-rounder at her best!

A friend, so helpful and caring,

Always there, with highs and lows on..

A bit serious, a bit of mischief filled in,

A perfect blend to rely upon..

Its been a pleasure to share with her,

The cadburies and those 'dozy yawns'..

Some busy, some triggered nights,

sleepy early mornings and lovely dawns..!

So today, on her birthday, it is,

A wish from me and everybody..

Let that wonderful smile never go off your face,

Live life filled with love, joy and glory!!

Wishes at 12 in the night..

Couple of days ago was Mugdha's birthday.. And mugdha is a friend of mine, really close to me..
Well, this time around though I couldnt wish her at 12 in the night.. Had problems of internal body heat coz of lack of sleep and had to sleep early that night.. My gums bleed coz of that sometimes.. Anyways, that apart for now.. The first thing I did when I got up was wish her a lovely day ahead.. But something was different when I did that.. Something, which wasn't as every year it is..

Its not that not giving your birthday wishes at 12 makes those less important or less special.. Some people rather argue that its one of the worst times to call and wish as we are disturbing the sleeping time.. Many of these people too are awake till 12 on their birthday nights, rather the previous nights.. Something is there in that timing which makes the talk feel really lovely, whoever the person wishing might be.. Our heart knows, and somewhere inside it expects a call from some people who are very special for us.. The smile stays on our face throughout, as we answer those barrage of calls from people, many of them, whom we wont normally be chatting with, at 12 ;-) .. Whatever be it, one really looks forward to that time..

The birthday evening when I met her, the topic obviously had to come up.. Coz both us had felt that different thing in my birthday wishes in the morning.. It hardly matters though.. I knew for sure that she would have missed getting a call from me, the previous nite.. And so did I sorely miss wishing her at that very special 'wishing' timing.....
