Mere yaar ki shaadi hai :)

Before I actually begin this post, I would want to warn you it is going to be long. Sufficiently long. Because these are not merely words, I am pouring my heart out. In fact, tears have already started rolling as I am writing this. It is my best friends’ wedding!!!

My best friend Yusra Abbasi, whom I met almost 7 years back, is finally getting married. Tears of joy and sorrow just don’t seem to stop. Though I had booked my tickets well in advance, the worst part is that they are still not confirmed and I will not be able attend her wedding.  

Since the time we became the best of friends, we have spend hours together in “discussing” on almost every possible topic under the sun. Like every other girl, marriage and kids was invariably our favorite topic. In the 2 of us, we both were aware of the fact that if at all anyone would get married first… it had to be her! I would pull her leg saying that, “Tu toh meri shadi mei apne bachcho k saath aegi.” And all she would do is laugh away.

You remember those days when we were in class 12^th? More than the classroom, we used to be in the washroom, trying to apply kajal by looking at our reflection on the tiles! Remember? Swizi mam would hate us and always complain about it in parents teacher meeting!!! :P

And let me tell you one thing, you had a very bad taste when it came to dressing up! Complete with super oily hairs and a sport shoes, you would only run around the whole college and complain about the lecture timings.

But now, all of a sudden you have grown up. You have evolved into one of the most elegant women I know. You have an enviable sense of style and confidence. I am surely getting to learn a lot from you.

I just want to say one thing yusra. You have been the best thing ever happened to me in my life. You have been more than just a friend.  You have been my mentor, sister and a mother. Always keeping me motivated and enlightened with your “expert” advice, I am really gonna miss you. I am going to miss our long talks and the fact that I will not be able to see you frequently any more.

Be grateful and thankful to god for whatever comes your way. I am sure he has brilliant plans for you. And if ever you feel lost and low, remember there is someone in Mumbai who can run all the way to Gorakhpur only to see you smile and be your partner in crime!

Though I wish you a very happy married life ahead… but frankly speaking, I don’t want to let you go. Itna door jaane ki kya zarurat hai yaar. Hamesha ki tarah, kuch setting laga naa. I am going to be really alone. I love you, more than anyone else. DESPERATLY looking forward to meeting you AS SOON AS possible.
