This article is the best gift i've ever gotten. A dear dear friend wrote this for me...
wishing that you all enjoy it as much as i do!

Take a day off from work (which I know you wouldn’t but I presume that you did for a change) and step out of your house. Walk into a nearby eating joint but make sure that it is the best in your locality. Grab a seat near the table at one end of the joint with a nice view of the outside world. Look out for a nearby table full of variable junk and a nice big jug-sized coffee crème, not to forget, the person most enthusiastically digging in. That’s him! (Wow that was quick...) If you truly are unemployed for the day, you will observe his style of relishing, his expressions while devouring huge chunks of food and that look of pure pleasure while taking huge draughts of crème. This will prove that you have ears sensitive at the drop of a hat: that is when he says “tension nahi leneka, coffee peeneka!” To add to it, only someone as stupid as you would even think of something like ‘oh how I wish I were that cool…’ :P
My apologies for a start as gibberish as such, but with my present situation I have the creativity of a hungry raven. I will not make excuses of suffering from a ‘writers’ block (which I am) for the reason that after a considerably prolonged break of nearly three months, I have ended up writing ‘something’ to assure myself that I can write. Free grammatical rectification accepted provided it is within the 26- letter range. (Sorry, I have zero knowledge of short-hand)
Coming back to the topic, presuming all that I ideally expect from you in such a circumstance, and skipping your introduction to him (don’t think too much, he may not like you at all!), you will have a great time hogging and chatting about worldly things. Mention bikes and he will jump on your head and rave about his favorites’, till your brain comes popping out. Talk about music and he may start humming (carry a stack of ear plugs, he’s no Bryan Adams) tunes you may or may not be acquainted with. (Be a music buff or you wouldn’t get to hear a major part of his life) If you are a guy, he will show you his system and explain how it works. (Be a gentleman and say ‘sexy’). If you haven’t explored Goa yet, you are not living a life! Don’t forget to mention books and don’t be surprised if he mentions godfather and scares you off your seat (maybe I am exaggerating, but he does get that perky at times). You can end your conversation and leave the games part for the next session. (I have little interest in talking about his special bondage with computer games).
If you are a girl, you will be lucky enough to experience all of this. If you are a dear friend, he will do anything to help you out in crisis or in troubled times. If you think too much, then you may think that he doesn’t care enough. You will get to see him once in a blue moon, but you will never face scarcity of assurances. He will indulge in your happiness and multiply them and at the same time, guide you through your grief. His honesty will compel you to respect him as an individual and the relation he chooses to preserve with you. If you propose to him, he will consider you provided he is single, no matter what emotional trauma he is going through (if he is). Even if it doesn’t work, he will see to it that you are timely consoled and helped in the best possible way. After that, he will still respect your feelings for him and be the way he has always been with you. You can always count on his support throughout your life.
If he pesters you for your opinion about his newly composed tune or a poem, don’t just smile and say ‘it’s good!’ Use your creative head to convey the same in a different manner to shut him up. Patiently hear when he plays his six strings on the phone; even if you talk he won’t listen to you. Don’t worry, all of that will be followed by a sweet apology. But that will happen only if you let him jerk around a bit..!
