I'd like to thank......

Once upon a time, I was born in this world. Since then I have remembered 3 constitutional rights, 1) Eating all you can

2) Sleeping whenever you can

3) Complaining all you can at the slightest opportunity!

Yes those 3 beautiful things that every lazy bugger always stands by. But in the recent past, things seem to be a lot clearer despite the rising pollution levels in Mumbai. I may not be able to see stars anymore but I can now see things more important than them.

When I joined school, the complaint was that there were richer kids with much better lunch boxes and compass boxes. I didnt like the fact that I didnt have them. I would secretly want to be in their place. Yeah Yeah I was pathetic....kids are like that and what would surprise you is that even I was a kid!

At home, my mom seemed to be the one person who would find many flaws in my character and I never liked her for that. I had complaints from my dad too....I didnt get as many material things from him as the other 'Bandra' kids would from thier old men!

But my old man and his wife gave me 3 things in such abundance that I can never run out of them...and those wonderful gifts are love, patience and understanding. Now I dont wanna be in any other place!

But even though its not possible to turn back time and change myself...I'd like to thank my parents for being there and bearing the 3 stupid rights that I'd throw at them from time to time.

I complained that I didnt have many great friends until I met 3 idiots just like me in school. And though they're much smarter....I seemed to connect with them and till date I'm very close to each one of them. Bhanu, Rochan and Nimish.....I dont know how I'd enjoy school life without you three!

College didnt seem the glamorous type (for me a glamorous college would be one serving pizzas and 'amburgers for me whenever I'd want to have one!)....but there I met another 3 lunatics who have made my life all the more special. Kunal, Navin and that imbicle of a little brother that I have adopted...Pratik. Sometimes I wonder do all good things come in three's, first my stupid rights, then my family i.e. Mom, Dad and my ego (hehe) and then friends who would have one quantity in abundance, that I crave for...honesty in thier words, thoughts and opinions (dont look at me...even liars like me can have 'true' friends...hehe!)

Anyway as I come to the end of this oscar type speech.....I'd like to give each one of these special people an oscar for bearing a pompous arse like me! You guys make me tick.....and even tho Im a prick...im sure our relationship will stick...

I'd like to borrow a line from the friends theme song to bring this post to an absolute cliché...but hey I really mean it when I say.....I'll be there for you...coz you're there for me too!
