A lot of things, like chocolates, ice-creams, gulab jamuns, etc etc, but at the moment I'm talking of a laddu. Or at least someone who calls himself Laddu in the blogosphere.
A fellow blogger and one of my bestest (I know such a word doesn't exist!) friends. It's Laddu's birthday today and this post is dedicated to him.
For being the most avid and loyal reader of everything I write. For being my greatest critic and my most honest fan. And most importantly for being what he is - just a really nice person who unfortunately doesn't realize it most of the time.
Our friendship sparked off by a post I had written last year about Valentine's Day and how crappy it is. He liked it, so he sent me an email as feedback rather than leaving a comment. I, of course love receiving emails from people who read my blog, so replied as soon as I saw it. And that was it. One mail followed another and we found ourselves becoming friends.
Some people may frown upon this kind of friendship but I don't think we need to explain it to anyone. Others feel that these kind of situations often lead to romantic involvement but we scoff at that too because we know we're the best of friends and will always remain just that.
He is perhaps the one person who knows everything about me, someone I can be point-blank frank with, and the one person who would never hurt me, even unintentionally. I'm lucky to have a friend like him. :)
So today, Laddu, I wish you get everything you deserve and desire. And may God bless you with abundant happiness, love, and a little bit of self-confidence. You are a smart, talented, incredibly decent guy (though I know you will snicker sarcastically at this) and I wish you a really, really Happy Birthday!
Just like you make others smile, may YOU keep smiling too. Now and always. :)
Oh, and PLEASE, don't go to sleep before midnight when it's supposed to be your BIRTHDAY, at least! :P
