Letter to Crush (Day 2)

-Letter to Crush

Dear Crush,

Today I have my fingers poised on these keys and I am strolling down the memory lanes. Times when it was budding teenage and even a mere eye contact with you would make the stomach feel fluttery and head a bit light. It was a sweet age, when crushes were just simple crushes, with no particular promises attached and of course, no one dared to approach directly to his crush too. A whole world resided in simple glimpses, corner twitching smiles and really, really small talks. Perhaps it was part of the effect of being in school, recent plunge in English movies may be, I Dunno.

I would reroute my cafeteria path just so that our paths would cross. And upon seeing you there, I would act oblivious and so-much-forced-natural. I don't know it was visible under that cool look and composure or not, but I always tried to hide it. Then I would giggle about you with my best friend. Those were some days.. New experience at using Internet and it was such a charm. Talking with boys/crushes was such a big deal! And if someone's crush added him/her on MSN messenger, sent a Hotmail email... It was considered to be a super great and a huge thing!

So, I remember you getting my email address from a mutual friend of ours and sending an email, full of emo quotes! :D
Haha, I was flattered. But I did get angry with my friend for giving my ID without my consent. Of course, email ID was considered to be a holy grail back then! XD
The era of forward emails was at peak then and I would receive ample from you. Neither I was the writing type back then nor were you.
(Pst, you still aren't. :P).
Then the huge gap was also somehow filled with the introduction of orkut. Still, we would be extra conscious to scrap because it was all public. Blimey, how we stalked! :D

It was fun, you know. Having something else to look forward to, instead of just lectures, tests and homework, while getting ready for school, having something to giggle about and have apparent serious discussions with best friends about you. That is how it worked; having a crush; it came and went away just like that. :D While we thought it was something serious. Lol. Childhood and initial teenage.

Ending note, I know you are doing great (hell, we are sometimes-once-in-a-while-texting friends now =D) and I also know you really, really, really want to get married. I hope you do soon :D
Best wishes your way, dude.

Best Friend

- Letter to a Best Friend (Day 1)

Dear Hira,

It seems funny to write you a digital letter when we actually have exchanged the old snail mail letters. Well only for one time but hell, it was fun. I am actually glad you shared my nerdiness for liking the old fashion way of corresponding and plunged in to write me a long letter during summer vacations :) Pstt, did I tell you that the letter was actually ransacked by my grandma before it actually reached me. Boy, did I flare up on that, Privacy people!

Our friendship is pretty amazing, isn't it? For starters.. when we were not friends, we weren't even strangers.. we were ENEMIES. Lol. And then, I don't know what actually happened and how we crossed the barriers of hate we had set. You unfurled worlds to me, Hira. Letting me borrow the first book ever to read, Harry Potter and making me embark the journey of reading books. Although you ALWAYS curse me for misplacing your books, bending the corners, splashing something on them (Off-note: Peeps, please don't stop lending me books after reading this. I'm not that bad, Hira exaggerates :D ), well, despite all these and threats to not lend me your books again.. you always lend me your books, Always! :)

I would always cherish those 12 years of school we spent together, all those craziness, those silly laughters and of course tears too! Although you were always a decent and a sober one but still that never stopped me from ranting about boys infront of you and seeking opinions. And boy did I get angry at your composure, calmness and all.. For a hot-head, impulsive and impromptu person like me, your composure was always disturbing but not anymore. You're a brave one, really and I have learnt to appreciate it and be proud about that. Oh but... graduating with a 3.9 cgpa, man that does not settle with me... STILL! And, I still hate it the way you freak out when exams are near and you cacoon up. Loosen up a bit.

I know I made you cry once and I take this chance today to actually tell you how awful I feel about it. Silly quarrels, honestly. I'm glad growing up did good to us, more like to me, induced some sense =D

Now that we are about to be away for a year, I want you to know how much you mean to me. Always meant to me. You have always been my bottomless pit to throw in my secrets and never judged me. Always have some proper, uncynical advice or opinion for me and never for once letting me feel out of place.

Sixteen years and counting, Woah! That is a lot, right? :)
But I really want to make it jubblees...like platinum, silver, golden or whatever. Be there.
I love you.

Sundus.
