I'm lucky to have a best friend like you..

Few days before Preeti's birthday, she messages me saying that I should write something about her as a gift from my side to my best friend.. It's difficult to pen down a list of unforgettable and lovely journey that we are travelling together since more than 7 years. But, here I am, telling something about a girl, who, by sheer coincidence met me when I was an alien to a big city and in desperate need of a friend.
We were in standard XIth, both in a new school and both from co-ed background, coming to a girl's school. I don't exactly remember that moment when we started talking but yes, we both were a part of a friends group. I really loved her sweet smile and straight-forwardness which still exists ;)
As I got to interact more with her during many light moments in school, combined studies, tutions, etc., we started to bond so well that we could actually read each other's minds....
The next thing I remember was that she was in a long distance-long time relationship with her childhood friend, which after some time was called off because of some personal reasons. During this time, I started knowing about her soft-hearted and emotional nature, "you really have a heart of Gold, Preeto!". The most confusing thing about her was that she didn't know what she actually wanted, and she was just going on.. She kept her heart open to any guy who talked to her very nicely,..and people came, people went, and her heart broke every time. Her life had many turn-overs...many twists, but with each incident, she became so strong within that she fought all of those situations so patiently,which I'm sure less people could handle, and I really hats-off to her. She is a perfect blend of a child's heart and mature mind which is rare to find these days in such a materialistic world. She is just like an ocean..sublime within but harsh if you intentionally cause trouble to her. And surely, if she starts writing her own biography, it's going to be a bestseller too :P and I would suggest each girl to read it as well.. :)
At present, she is happy in her job, earning well, and the best part is that all of these vulnerable situations have made her know better about herself and what she exactly wants from life and people. But, still she has grief and and a lot of un-answered questions from her recent past which, I'm sure she will get over with in a duration of time...
Today, on a very special occasion, I would like to give you my best wishes and all my love to you, Preeti..and stay connected always because, as I often say,
'You can run, You can hide, but you can't escape, My Love...' ;)
Happy Birthday Preeti Singh..!!
