Thank you for teaching me to live...

A few years back,a kid,small,stupid,dumb began his journey from obscurity to today.From nothing to something,from crowd to Sougata.Thank you all those people that taught me to live,gave me an identity,made me what I am today.

Jitz:The lean,curly haired guy,never imagined we will end upto this.I do not remember if he was there when I was happy,I am not sure if he was there always to congratulate me,but yes,he always made it a point to wipe off my tears.Someone who made me stand up,think,taught me to speak,to love,to dream.It was when I realized life is something more than academics,results.Somehow whatever he always said turned out to be unexpectedly correct and opt always.We have shared some really best moments of our life when we were way back in class XII.The best thing that we had ever is impossible because things are always best with him.His strength always amazed me,shocked me,surprised me,inspired me,kept me going...made me care for him.He was one of the rarest species of this planet to whom I ever listened.

Pds:Priyadarshika,one of my oldest best friends,since class XI.Amazingly i never had a best friend before.Someday I wish I could thank you enough for everything that u always did.The best part of our relation was that we fought,shouted at times...but again at the end of the day loved each other,cried and made it a point to care about the other.School days had been really wonderful just because of you.This lady made me realise responsibilities,taught me about life,always made it a point to make me feel special.Another thing that at times makes her special is the fact that she is the only of my friends who greets me with a hug whenever we meet.I will always remember your words,"Goto its not important how often we talk,what is important is that we should be able to pick up the conversation where we left it last time,even if we talk after ages".Thanx a lot for always making my birthdays so speciAl...!I never said her a thing,but she always knew what I needed...weird naah?!

Pallami:Ha ha...!She is crazy,mad,sick,stupid...but yeah my newest best buddy.The only "friend" in my college who bothered to scold me when I was wrong,cared to care for me more than anything and anyone.She is ferociously protective.thank u for everything,for being so sweet to my stupidity.Despite herself going through a turmoil,an entire sea soring within her,still managed to remain calm and comfort me when I needed support,take my side despite anything I did,listening to my craps at least 5 times a day over the fone and up till 4 in the morning.I would not insult your feeling by thanx,but yeah,surely a big thanx to all those times when I went over to your place and u forced me to eat coz I didnot have lunch.Whenever I felt i am too tired,all I had to do is to turn bAck to her,may be i could not bring myself up to ask for her help,but you always understood and a smile of yours always kept me going.I will never forget an evening of my life,i was on ur bed,u sitting on the floor,smiling apparently,ur eyes moist,weeping like hell inside,yet u could not show.Thank u for making things so much better for me.


Madhura and Shankhamala:Madhura,you had been my junior,but one of those friends of mine whom I respected the most for the way she is.Amazingly mature,sensible,understanding and lovely.At times I used to be amazed that how can someone be soo sensible.the best part about her is she knows where not to speak what.She taught me,"Whatever u do or I do,however bad we are to the other,the bond will never break,it just cannot".Ypur last line in my farewell dairy,"Sougata da,just remember that its much better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all".Amazing.
Shankhamala u had been one of my closest juniors in my school days.One of the people I really looked forward for.Thanx a lot for putting up with my stupidity and making things so much easier for me.lovely...!
will always be thankful to both of you.

Saumik:The two of us resembled each other the most.same kind of thoughts,family,problems,feelings... Everything.Had been "partners of the same crime" at times.Shared life and thoughts.You had been amazing and a brilliant friend.We share same tastes,books,music,food... haha...anything.we had been stupid together,dreamt together and i know will continue doing so always.Anwarshah and last days of scul had not been half memorable without u.Pondy time,ya,we did something great.Thanx always for caring so much and being there,for scolding me whenever I was wrong and for all those philosophies.Oh btw,u had been an amazing foodie always.thanx for those after scul biriyani s and staying with me till 3.

Poulomi:May be I spent the last year talking to each other most of the times.we almost went on talking always,utter nonsense always though.the first thing I remember when I take her name is talking till 5 in the morning.haha...!She is sensible,poetic and of course multi talented.The emotional bridge between the two stupids had always been amazing.She had been my only bestfriend who gave me a kiss whenever I needed it,kept me going always and always made it a point to pull me up through everything.Someone for whom I really bothered to change myself.I just wish things had not gone so wrong.wish so much of bitterness for each other never poisoned our love.Wish we realized,the "bond" should never break.
