Another year of my life draws to a close....but this year was different for so many reasons. I want to acknowledge a few friends who accompanied me on this year's journey :

Deepika - Constantly there. I just need to pick the phone and call her....and she will be there by my side. Thanks girl. I think 2010 sealed our f'ship for life.

Sunny - My friend for the last 10 years! One of the few people who shows me the mirror as it is....with the huge risk of getting lynched! But he still does it fearlessly. He is a selfless, all-giving dude. I have to yet come across someone with a heart as big as his. The turning point of 2010 was that he and Abhijit also established an unbreakable bond...after 10 years of 'hating' each other! Cheers to your f'ship guys!

Mas - My sweetheart! If I would have just been a little taller........no, a lot taller.......:). But on a serious note, I love him because he is so grounded, so full of life and so enthusiastic!The first time I saw him interacting with Kavin, I was stunned. I never knew that this giant of a man could be so tender, loving and tolerant towards a brat like Kavin. I can also never forget the way he participated in the Reunion Planning...from all the way across the globe! He rocks!!

Divi & Pankaj - An awesome couple. They balance each other....and tho I can say a lot of good things about them....but I wont. Why? Cos I dont want to jinx these two beautiful ppl in any which way. Just stay the same guys.

Uday Pal - We met for the first time in 2000. And since then have met him on and off. But the seal was put this year.....in Goa. I can never forget that night outside Tito's, when Uday stood with me on the beach and listened patiently to the ramblings of a a very drunk woman (me!). I went on and on and on.....and Uday forfeited the party and the crowd of Tito's and endearingly lent me his ear. He did this for the whole trip and still continues to do so. Muah, to you Uday!

Rupi - Tho i met her briefly, but I think she is a great gal. Considerate, caring and non-judgemental. Keep it up gal. U are a fighter and u will emerge!

Family is something which we dont chose.....its destiny. But friends are where we have a choice and I am proud I have you guys in my life.
