'coz today is your birthday!

College days...it's been a while since I've talked about them. Am I getting old..?No way :)When I first joined the college, the classes, the hostel everything was a new experience. But once we went for that "all-famous" picnic in our first year, things changed. We formed a bond for life, friendship . I am still in touch with most of them and today is K's birthday. I haven't been in touch with him since quite long.Definetely my loss! He is a gem of a person, always there for his friends, somebody you can count on ALWAYS.
There were quite a few crazy things we've done together...we sure had great time together, maybe coz we were like-minded, more like a male-female version of the same characteristics. Our bond strengthened when he came to visit my hometown once along with Putchu. We've had our shares of ups and downs, fights, immense affection and all that. I've always admired the way he cared for others, he was never outwardly emotional but it was all there in his heart.I can never forget the unwavering support he gave me during my initial days in Hyd,when I'd newly joined my job here. He was there almost every evening to take me out of that wretched hostel, to cheer me up.The best part of it was the way he "let-go" of me. I mean, I was making new friends, new acquaintances in office. He chose a different career path, our lives drifted apart. It was my mistake all the while in not continuing the same levels of friendship, but he never said a word.
At times his unwavering support makes me guilty, makes me feel as if I've run away from the responsibility of being a true and good friend. But then, that's me.Maybe now is the time, maybe I should pick up the phone today and wish him. Coz today is his birthday.(1 year,1 month, 1 day elder than me!)
Happy Birthday
