January 10, Sandy’s B’day

Last Sunday, it was Sandy’s B’day and I was at Chiplun. Fortunately Vishal reminded me of this auspicious day when SandyBaba took his Avtar on this holy planet. There is something special about this saintly creature; hardly had any subject been remained untouched with his authoritative commentary. And then after, if any dupe shows some guts to annotate it further with incongruity, our know-all friend just fumes. Despite being such an expert commentator he needs assistance in almost everything he does, right from paying his electricity bill to watching TV alone, he wants somebody around.
Really, last thirty months at Persistent had never been so enjoyable if he wouldn’t have been around. I met this terrific friend in very first fortnight, as a project team member. I was new joinee and was looking out for somebody to talk, to share my lunch table, and to help me to get acquainted with this new workplace. With Sandy Persistent remained no alien place anymore.
Like Sandy, many of my friends I met, over past few years stood by me when needed and made my life beautiful and to whom I never said THANK YOU but I would definitely like to say SORRY.
Thank you for being there when I was in mess, bringing cake on my birthday without fail and bringing wishes on every auspicious occasion like Dashera, Diwali, New Year, Makarsankranti, 26th Jan, 15 Aug and Labor day.
Sorry for forgetting your birthdays without forgetting. No matter how hard I try to remember my friend’s birthdays and how much closer he/she is, it’s almost certain that I am going to fail to wish him/her. It hits me only after I receive at least fifteen messages on friendship day that I have to wish all those special people in my life.
So thumbs up to my New Year resolution number one - better late than never, get ready for my belated birthday wishes. :)
