Continued from part 1...
DIMPLE says she enjoys snacking and chatting with me. Now this here is not gossip, we don't talk about anyone as such but we talk about things.. Like our habits, our likes, dislikes, behaviours, parenting, entertainment, education, hobbies, baking..... We can go on and on whether its 6 in the morning or 2 in the night.
Also, whenever I am hungry, I go to her and ask if she'd eat something and she asks Didi bhookh lagi hai? Mujhe bhi.. So we are definitely BINGE and GUPSHUP partners.
BHAVNA DI replied saying she enjoys my jokes and mimicry. She does go mute when I ask her some bizzarre questions but she says that's because she likes to listen more than talk. We do have some stomach hurting and eye tearing laughs when we are in form. So according to her, I am her LAUGHTER partner.
REEMZ says for her, I am someone she shares all her negative and positive thoughts. We dint do school or college together. She is my college friend's wife and we met ocassionally a couple of times. When I shared news of my pregnancy, she was expecting too. Sharing our experiences was the start of our relationship. Our unborn children were the reason we bonded and hence we are the MOTHERHOOD partners.
JAY JIJU could not really come up with anything much so he said I should spend more time there so we can have more partnerships. We somehow developed this love for cafe caremel ice cream from corner house and everytime he eats it, he misses me. I am his COFFEE and ICE CREAM partner.
CHETAN took 2 days to reply... He clearly missed my question so when reminded he answered that I am his HUMOUR and FAMILY PROBLEM SOLVING partner. Matter of factly, both of us are the troubleshooters and go to each other first when hit with a crisis situation. We two wisecracks are proud to be PRANK BUDDIES too.
SWEETZ told me that I remind her of her adolescence. That’s where her memory lane is connected with our friendship. When she asked me the same question, I told her I always go back to the first day we met.
Something just clicked and we were almost inseparable during college. We studied, chatted, argued, laughed, cried, ate and enjoyed birdwatching all without being judgmental.. I did not know then that it would lead to a lifelong friendship and now, I am truly grateful for her presence in my life. We are, in every way possible, each other's FOREVER ADOLESCENCE partners..
Lastly, I did not ask this to PAPA but whenever I go home, He gets these variety of sweets. Different ones everyday saying chinku aayi hai. He loves sweets too but I'm sure he relishes food and mithai more when he has company. So I call myself his MITHAI partner...
These are all people I know and I am in constant touch with. I too have few such relationships that strengthen me, motivate me and sometimes just take me through a tidal situation.
HUM EK, HUMARE ROOP ANEK...
We play different roles in lives of different people. Mostly we do not convey the importance of such people and yet they silently continue to support, care, love, entertain, inspire and influence us in more than one ways.
So as dear Jug rightly said, it is unfair to put the responsibility of so many relationships on just one. It is completely alright to have various people to play different parts..
We can have someone to listen to, talk to, dance with, read books with, enjoy music with, travel with, gossip with, watch movies with, enjoy theatre with, laugh with and talk nonsense with and each of these can be different.
Go ahead and find your match for varied activities, I am sure this will uncomplicated life. Perhaps, we shall enjoy our lives the way they should be, without unnecessary disruption.
CHEERS!!
GOD BLESS!!
