In continuation to one of my older post related to my experiences with various associations in life. In that post I wrote abt about the people I have met since childhood and their impact on me and my life. It was also mentioned that the list is not exhaustive. Life is a journey and you keep meeting ppl and making friends.
I had always thought that the strength of a relationship is directly proportionate with the no of years spend together. Older the relationship more comforting it is and vice versa. Especially true in in case of professional relationships. And since I have never stayed in an organisation for more than 2 years I somehow cud never have long lasting relationships / friends in my professional life. I have always believed that you never make good friends in office. Cause of various reasons like cut throat competition, the survival of the fittest etc etc. This post talks abt two ppl who helped me in breaking this myth. And come face to face with a reality that never underestimate life u never know wats in stored for you next.

One man army, my most special guardian angle who never takes rest. I must have done something really good to have somebody like him around me to watch over. I have no words to describe the special bond we share. Although we two are stark opposite in character. Our association started, on a very normal note. He joined when I was already 2 years old in the organisation. With a bad reputation and flirtatious streak to boast about. I was in a snooty bitch kinda of a mode when he walked first in the organisation, Who had vowed to stay away from guys. That’s why when I was first introduced to him, I never showed any emotions.
We must have hardly interacted on his first day, barring our normal professional conversation. Days passed and from hard nut I slowly started peeping out of my shell. All thanks to his broad streak of mind and his comfortable personality. Eventually I also realised that we have a lot of things in common, and that he is not as dumb as other guys in my life. Flirting with him was pretty dangerous and it could back fire easily. Unlike the other guys in the organisation whom I loved showing the ground or bossing over with my acidic tongue, this guys cud surely not be taken for granted. We had slowly graduated from being office colleagues, to friends to being good friend to indispensable friends now.
I cannot think of a day without him in the office. I have never confided the way I did with this guy and all thanks to him. He has even coaxed me to rite my autobiography. Which I secretly always wanted to do. We fight, we sulk we get pissed and hate each other at times, but still there hasn’t been a single point of time where I havent shared some stuff with him be it good bad or ugly. I have only known him essentially for the last three months, but it seems as if its been 3 years already. Cause there are instances of my life which I would not even share with myself forget abt sharing it with somebody else. I could go on and on and on riting pages after pages in his praise and what he means to me but then the blog space wouldn’t be enuf.
I donno how long this association is meant to last, I hope its for a lifetime. I am gonna be optimistic here and think that this one is suppose to last forever, as this relationship as taught me to be. But then whatever moments I have spend with him, have sincerely been the best moments of my life till date. The benchmark set cannot be reached by anybody else forget abt something equalling it. Its so difficult to describe some relationships in word and this is one of them. AM stay that way, hate me, hit me, but don’t leave me.

Another human being who broke my myth abt the fact that the strength of a relationship is not directly proportionate with the time spend together. I had initially avoided this woman thinking that this is one of those ibm snobs. Because of a dearth of seating space in our office, she was initially asked to share a workstation with another gal on my floor. And I used to wonder how can you let someone so close to you and embark in your private space. It must be suffocating. But then she later on told me that the other gal was a very good friend of hers. And they would bitch about me unanimously, giggling in private calling me names like Ms. Congeniality and all that. I donno when where and how did I happen to break this ice, and who said hello for the first time. I still remember interacting with her formally in a group but never thot even in my distant dreams that we would click like a house on fire. Initially when she contacted me on gmail I was sceptical and she could sense it. But then slowly we realised that we could bitch at the same wavelength and that’s how things started easing up.
Today we are like two indispensable pieces in the organisation, which fellow colleagues don’t much admire. But who cares a fukk. Our day is not complete, without , the morning round of coffee and everyday bitching session. Which includes dissecting anything and everything gone by in the last 24 hours. She is married to this amazing guy, whom I was not very positive about before marriage. But now I think he takes good care of her. I think most of us suffer from the consequences of a bad perception. As in everybody just judges the book by the cover of it. But if you had to look closer or happen to read atleast 10 pages of this book. I am sure it would become an addiction. As the case has been with me and her. Vandi you one of the reasons of unadulterated fun and happiness in my life. Be like that so long u are around.
