When would you know that you found that Special Someone?

Two different Worlds meet

Sometimes imperative, sometimes worried, sometimes desiccate, sometimes excited… such are the eerie days when one’s trying to find a life partner.

During such days the so called ‘encounter by chance’ happened, which made Jonah stumble on to Rebecca’s profile on a matrimony site. Yes, thats right - A Matrimony site (where Rebecca made a profile that she barely checked!) Both were from two different worlds. Not crossing lines even once. Till that day. But something about her whole profile and the picture there, made him write to her. Very typical beginning right?

But what happened after that is something unthinkable and out of ordinary (atleast for them).

Interested in the profile, Jonah chose a ludicrous source to communicate with her. FaceBook.

The first communication

First time she had received a strange message. A strange name. A strange Profile Picture. A strange message saying ‘We have a lot in common’ - I mean, how 'cheesey?' Who the heck is this?

But hold on!! Inquisitive as it may sound, she went through his profile on facebook and found out the first similarity; working in the same office! She thought "This one's gettable!" - not entirely.. but something could happen, considering he lived in the same city too! *Rebecca was smiling already!*

Soon enough, she replied to his facebook message with an ‘enthusiastic Hi’. And a request to add as a friend.

Returning from office one early morning, Jonah heard a beep with a notification ‘You got a new message from Rebecca Luther’. Well, well, Joy seemed to have no bounds as he read that message. Eager enough to know more about her, he ransacked (yes, thats the right word!) her whole profile and the next few days seemed dreamy!

The first of Chat(s)

Killing time on an early weekday morning waiting for her cabbi’s call at around 6:00am, she saw him online and pinged him, and they chatted for while before her cab finally arrived.

Soon enough came a weekend, they’d been secretly waiting for, and that evening they had their second chat on facebook, then the third on gTalk, fourth on YM, then webcam, & then the exchange of phone numbers. Result: An erruption of similarities!

Talk about compatibility already!! They both had a liking for Crackle. Not realizing where the last 4 hours of that Saturday went, they realized it was time for dinner and good night.

Naming Names

Among the firsts that day was the first sms… which contained the first of names... He sent her a message saying… “Saved your number as ‘sweet’ coz you kind of are’ and a first response from her with a LOL (laugh out loud!)

It was January 15, 2011.

They both kept chatting on and off - sometimes even taking time out to make sure they had a chat. Difference in office hours was difficult to cope up with, but they left no bit of the weekend or a weekday for a conversation with someone else! It began to get RebeccaJonah / JonahRebecca (without the space mind you) already.

The conversations

Beginning of relationships is always sweet. The first chats and sharing of likes and dislikes. But the strange thing was… there was hardly anything similar between the two, it was all same. Be it a world view or religion or the institution of marriage, or dislike towards tinsel, flower, to name a few.

This really bonded them together. One fine day… unable to contain the emotions anymore finally, Jonah said, "I'm dying to meet you.".

Venue: Coffee Day.

Time: 6 and half minutes after 4:30 (Gosh! did he keep her waiting!)

She sat there, meddling with her phone, making frantic phonecalls, asking "how much longer?".. Only to hear "5 and half  mins more.. 4 and half mins more".. 

While she was busy detesting the wait.. Jonah happened to describe her to his friend (CoffeeDay Manager) and placed the order (Devil's Own), and the waiter appeared with a Cold Coffee, put it in front of her & said.. ‘Sir will be here in 5 min.’ Surprising the day lights out of her… she went..” Sir ???” the wait and frantic phonecalls continued & continued and continued! [psst... Men !!! ]

The meeting

Finally he made an entrance, and what an entrance it was!  You know what they say about making the First Impression, right ? He stole the show! :) that 'Sir' walked in - formally dressed and looking as impressive!

He came, he sat in front of her and they both stared. Not knowing what to say to each other, she blurted out.. "What is the time?!?" [in a way as if to scold him for coming late!]

She was fidgety, he kept looking at her, she was having coffee, he looked at her, she touched her bag, he looked at her, she was talking, he looked at her, she made phone calls, he looked at her.. and that’s all he did, he looked at her! [apart from the time he tried snatching her office ID Card from the table!]

It was January 31, 2011.

The falling

One thing led to a lot of others - and with passing of time they only got closer! :) it didn't take them too long to fall in love. It just happened, as if it were meant to be. For the good and for the better. They found each other for a lifetime, and are tangled in Love.

There were many first times. First movie. First dinner. First fight (already!). First Meeting of parents. First fixing up things. First shopping. First gifts. First drive. It all went on to be one hell of a ride :)

And now when everything is happening… they both look back at the days when they thought ‘would it be possible?’ and certainly God was behind it all. The Story writer. The Creator of this beautiful harmony. A pleasant hope of a Future. And a Promise.

The Matrimony

Amidst all the uncertainity (of venue, date, clothes & what not!), the one thing that is certain is their love and a promise of togetherness. As they wait to be united in this holy nuptial knot. Like they say, "The wait is going to be worthwhile" :) For them both, it certainly is. 

Answer to the Question in the title of this blog: You just know when you find that special someone :)

p.s. Jonah, thanks a million for contributing a major part of this write-up :)

The Wedding That Was ! :)

Im sure she has no clue - But I felt like writing this -  Coz she does deserve a mention! :)

Then: Miss. Yashika Mathews :)

Now: Mrs. Yashika Gaikwad :D

Just as I was looking for a recipe to bake a Vanilla Cake, it occured to me that I should add something to my blog :D

It was Jan 2010 - In the RajivGandhi International Airport, when we went to say goodbye to Yashika after her trip to India - She was going back to Brisbane - She wanted to settle there..  Make her life there.. She had the best of everything that Brisbane could offer.. & So, she left - we thought that was the last time we were meeting in a long time! - We didn't know when we'd see each other again -  But who knew 'a long time' was only till April 2010!!! She returned from Brisbane, for good, to Pune, IN. She landed herself into a job in Pune, and returned bag and baggage to her motherland! - She joined work - and one weekend, she landed herself in Hyderabad; spent a day with me and returned back to Pune for duty called.

Now, little did she know - Shaadi.com was doing the rounds in her life! :) Was that the reason she got back to India? Nope, but Cupid Struck - Sameer walked into her life and changed it around 360degrees! :D

October 01, 2010 was THE DAY that I saw her walk down the aisle in her pristine white gown! (I didnt think she was the 'gown' kinds! :P) - But Yes! Lovely as she looked, they said their "I Do's"..and walked out arm-in-arm, smiling cheek-to-cheek! :) Im wondering why she didn't throw the bouquet at me !! :P :) Tears of JOY filled my eyes to see happiness take charge of her life! :) I quickly thanked God Almighty - So true, his doing is marvelous in our sight! :) 

Its a day I will always remember :) Something that "my friend" had always looked forward to and hoped for! A decision she took on her own - and made sure it fell into place - efforts that were made were all of her own - with her brother by her side, and the man of her dreams in her life - Yashika's life has come a complete circle! Its everything I'd always wanted for her *happiness in totality!* - my prayers were answered :) Now when I look back, I know for a fact that She's not worried, she's not anxious, she's not upset (except for her job that annoys her sometimes, haha!) - and thats what matter to me! - The Extra Chirpy Bubbling Yashika is back, my friends! :D

A Li'l note for Sameer - Thanks ever so much for walking into her life & filling the emptiness that was in her. Im sure she's all you've ever dreamt of :) If you' ask me, she's SUPER :) So, have a fab life together :D BlessYou guys :D

Unfolding the baker in me :")

You know, it was one of those days where I wanted to do something. Something I'd never done before. Something that I could do without anyone's help. Something that would give me a sense of accomplishment! ..

and just as I was thinkin, it occured to me that my mum baked a million cakes for Sam & me when we were little (not that we're too big now!).. but yeah, i remember one cake she baked and she put my doll on top of the cake as a decorative piece -

So I thought - maybe I should 'start baking cakes? And then I thought of the cocoa smell fillin' up the kitchen and dining area of my home! - that sort of egged me on to do this 'something' - i'd been thinkin of for months! - Besides, dad kept telling me.. "Joy, since you spend so much time on the internet- Why don't you check out some recipies and do some cooking!" -- Voila! what better than to start off with Cakes! :D

So it was August 1, 2010..
One morning I looked for the perfect recipe among a zibillion that were available in a heap of websites! Tada! - I found that ONE recipe for an 'Easy Chocolate Cake' - read through, asked mom to 'check' if the ingredients were different from what she used to put - Took her 'Okay!' - unplugged my laptop from the charger, disconnected the internet cable, and placed my lovely macbook on the dining table - where i'd 'Unleash the Baker in Me!' - Played some songs on iTunes - Katy Perry's 'Hot n Cold' reminded me of Master Chef Australia! - and to be honest, i felt like a little master chef too :D :D & so it began...

1 + 1/2 cup (170 g) all-purpose flour - (so that's 1.5 cups, right mom?)
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (dutched/dark) (what the heck is Dutch/dark? )
2 teaspoons baking powder (Mom said, "powder right, no baking soda?")
2 pinches salt (Salt ? what ? im baking a cake brother! - its supposed to be sweeeet!)
1 cup (220 g) sugar (Ground in the Mixie!)
2 teaspoons vanilla essence (& do I love the fragrance or what!)
1/2 cup (1.2 dl) milk or water (Milk? Water? I mean is this recipe correct? - Mom said, "water is used sometimes!" - relief!)
1/2 cup (1.2 dl) vegetable oil (flavorless) (flavorless? ehh, whatever!! oil is oil! :P)
2 eggs (Sure! )
Took this Yellow bowl - a wooden mixing spoon (australia special!) - and mixed the eggs with the sugar, in went the cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder little by little - and as I was mixing the batter - my arms felt like it was the toughest and the hardest exercise ever ! - It made me wonder how mom could do it so briskly! I guess Im talking experience here! :) You know its fun when music is playing and you're mixing cocoa along with the other stuff - and then the home begins to smell of cocoa - all chocolatey! Ah, I'm at a loss of words to express that aroma that fills up the home! - So yeah, just when the batter was about to be done - I greased the baking tin - a wide round aluminum tin! - sprinkled some flour to prevent the cake from sticking to its base - mixed the batter for one last time, ofcourse taking breaks in the middle ! :) - poured the yummmm batter into the baking tin! - and put the baking tin into the oven, after pre-heating the oven for 10mins! Wound up everything off the table - wiped it clean and waited patiently for the next 40 odd minutes to pass by!

Gradually, the smell of Cocoa filled up the home! - Rich Chocolate flavor - and I made 'on-purpose' trips to kitchen only to see the lovely cake rise to its best! 40 mins were done, the cake was left to cool - and around 5:00pm, just before mom woke up from her afternoon nap, I placed the cake onto a plate- cut it into small square-ish pieces - and set them in a blue-lid rectangle box! Mom came to the dining room - we made some tea - and I heard her say, "Its perfect!" after she bit into one of those delicious looking cake pieces! - What else could I have asked for than two little words from 'my master baker!' This was the something I'd wanted to do - Something that definitely made me feel on top of the world & gave me the feeling that I can do better! - So next up was Marble Cake :)

-- a typical day at work --

Here I am, back on - after having shed, umm about 70% of my laziness! I started writing another post before this one, but deleted that, thought about something for a while and... now im writing this! :) 

Okay, let me start with the previous day's night - when I hit the sack by about 10:30pm (I try to sleep 'early'  because I neeeeeeeed that much sleeeeeep!) So anyway, i sleep, and before that I set my alarm for 4:30am or something, depending on when my cab would arrive. So if the cab arrives at 6:30pm, that means I wake up around 5:30am - for which I set my alarm at 4:45am - what do i do for 45 minutes? - SNOOZE !! :D 

5:30: I wake up, put the kettle on (mom isn't around, otherwise she'd make tea by the time I get ready) ..  yeah, so i put the kettle on, get dressed and stuff , if I have the time, i have some "early morning" breakfast.. and wait for my mobile to ring - only to hear.. "madam, cab do minit mein aa raha hai" .. to which I respond.. "ok ok" ... and I rush down! :) & then I find that the cab hasn't arrived, no where to be found, and the so called "transport helpdesk" number is Forever Busy! So...  what do i do?  I Wait :) *patiently*

So, im finally in the cab .. its like an express ride, you know - like a jet plane or something - sometimes the driver uses the accelerater as if it is the break ! - I wonder if there is a break in his car, hmm .. So I have this high flyer sort of a ride for about 30mins after which I reach work! The really friendly security staff say,  'Good Morning/Hi Ma'am' - to which I reply, "Hi, how are you?" -- and she (one of my fav female security staff) says, "fine, how r you " :) -- So that's a pleasant start - I try really hard at this point to forget the turbulent journey to work, hmm.

I hit the floor at about 7:05-7:10am - walk right in - Say Hi to everyone :) check for "my" chair .. and swirl around on it, then I turn my system on with Ctrl+Alt+Del & Password - and TADA !! - Open MS Outlook - the send-receive file thing goes on (I turn Out of Office off) ... and the inbox is flooded with some absolutely irrelevant emails! and believe me when I say "absolutely irrelevant" .. so then, without much waiting, i press my fav Del key on the keyboard :) and clear my inbox! people start trickling in! - its time for Lexicon! - an Idiom and Word for the Day! 

Now that everyone's at their desk - our day begins with some heavy dost of Transport Discussion! :) [log in and log out issues!] - after this - everyone goes about their work, opening databases, trackers, folders and everything that is a part of our work! :) 

Its time for breakfast/coffee/tea/juice .. 3-4 people go together, and the rest go after another hour or so. 

Its 10ish something, when some random conversation begins! - there was a day we talked about everything under the sun! - from alcohol, to chocolates, to movies and everything else ! :) the swirley chairs make it easy for us to turn around and talk to everyone around us! :) amidst the PS Letter and the PCPA, the doubts begin to increase, researchers and QAs are all over the bay, sorting out queries and taking calls. Before we realise, its time for lunch! - Here, it is like Dosa in the morning, Idli in the noontime, and Mirchi Bhajji in the evening! in addition to the typically southindian- coconutty food, there's 'meals' as well - some of which is cooked in coconut oil again! hmm, most bring food from home and avoid the Super 'Oiley' Food! - back onto the floor- it'l soon be 4:30pm and we'd be going back homeeeeeeeee :D Before which most of us have one more company to work on! the air-conditioning gets cold-colder-coldest - and all our calls to the facilities department are in vain! -  I stop cribbing and quietly put my jacket on.. 

Time passes by.. i keep looking at the time - 3:30pm, 3:51pm, 4:17pm .. oh! the uploading email reaches my inbox! its 4:00pm! - CIBR- my best but not-so-loyal friend starts acting up at the wrong time :( and my favourite dialogue.. "oh, come'on - chalo bhi !!" is put on 'repeat' !! its 4:28pm and and im done uploading! :) So is everyone! :D I put my water bottle in my bag and say, "Chalo"; before which we check our bus/cab number in the transport email sent so lovingly to us by our beloved transport department. The fish market at the bus-stop doesn't exist these days, much to our relief ! The bus is like a furnace - we're boiling, roasting, getting fried and what not ! - "bhaiyya A/C on nahi kiye kya?" - that's the question popped by every second person in the bus. The bus starts moving and I'm on my way back home - and after a 45 to almost 60 minute ride, I get off, walk for two minutes and step into the house!

Its 9pm - I set my alarm again, depending on what the Transport sms says - and Off to Bed, I go - by 10:30pm.. *zzzzz*   -- 

its 5:30am again - Wake up! Time for Work - again!

December- Sad; January- Happy

I was actually in the middle of making some almond soup for mom, granny and myself when this thought about writing something up here struck me :D The title of this blog is random - it was the first thing that came to my mind when I was wondering what the title should be :) and yeah, I think its quite apt too :) I sure have had a great start to 2010 :) but that doesn't mean I forget the tragic end that occurred in 2009. Also, this blog is titled Mixed Emotions - its so very true - Umm .. Hny Truth (a line on one of the red tee-shirts I had) says, " Life can be dramatic and funny, all in the same day" .. and well, I'm sure you'd agree :D

Christmas 2009 was nice- I returned from Australia after having completed my higher education. Jobs didn't come easy there so my parents and I thought returning to India would be a good decision. That is how I did not miss Christmas at home- and guess what, we had Yashika over too! (Most of you would know she was my roomie in Australia) .. Yashika and I ended 2009 with 3 Idiots in the day time and the Watch Night Service at Church ... and we prayed into the New Year 2010.

Dad left on 2nd Jan 2010 for Delhi and the following night Yashika left for Brisbane (Australia). Mom, granny and I were on our own - mom's school reopened, and I started some serious Job Hunt :)

11th Jan 2010 was THE day! :) 5 rounds of interviews in 8 hours at Bank of America :) Honestly, I didn't know what was going on for as long as I was there. People kept walking in and walking out while I sat there in the reception area staring at the bright red strap of the 22 numbered HR Id card that was hung around my neck.

I wrote an essay about "My Dream Job" (no questions pls! ).. and then gave some aptitude test- I really didn't think I'd clear it. There was this short fat girl in a business suit who looked oh so professional and she pretended like she had 10 yrs of work ex already. When I questioned her, she said she was a 'fresher' from some random college around town. The HR walked towards us and said .. "Bhumika, you can leave. We'll call you tomorrow" - Now was she selected ? Oh my! But wait! I was sitting there- no news from the HR.. Finally two geeky looking guys walk into the reception and call out my name- and they got all technical with me .. Umm .. After asking me to introduce myself, they asked, "What is an export firm?"- and I said.. "A firm that deals with exports" - LOL could I have been any more stoooopid ? - They both said thank you after questioning me for 25 odd mins and walked out. The HR came to me and said.. "Rebecca you have your last round with the manager" - Wow, now had I known the export firm answer would help me get through I would've answered all their questions like that !! The manager walked in. Called out my name. We went into an interview room, she started questioning me.. and at the end of which she said "Rebecca, it was lovely to talk to you, I am certain you will fit the role perfectly!" ... she left. I walked out into the reception area, and waited for the HR. She walked over to me and said, "Rebecca thanks for coming. We'll call you tomorrow" .. Now there were those Bhumika thoughts running all over my mind. I walked out of the office and headed home. 11th Jan 2010 came to and end.

12th Jan 2010- I woke up when half the day was over- there was not a single phone call from the HR. I thought maybe I need to start looking out for more jobs now. The clock struck 3 ! My 6300 rang ! It was the HR - she asked me to come in the next day with my documents ! :) Was I jumping for joy or what !! I passed on the news to my mom and granny- They were thrilled beyond words :) Another answered prayer :) Smiles everywhere - all my relatives could now think off was to get me married ! Sigh - the downside of getting a job and being in your mid 20s .. and of course, being a girl ! Hmm

Well, I got the job :) Received the offer letter from the Bank of America branch in Gurgaon. Acknowledged the same and sent it back via email to the staffing team. I WOULD FINALLY START WORKING !! :)

There was so much joy all around .. but it could not cover up for the saddest day I had seen in Dec 2009. I lost a friend in a bike accident. He died. :'( Nothing could ever fill up for the empty spaces he has left in our hearts ! - There is not one day when I haven't thought of him. Abel, if i could take his name, left us. Something which I still can not believe. No one can. I am guessing this was God's way of checking/ testing our faith - Okay, wait. I am lost for words. I lost a friend. It has been a tragic end to some awesome talent ! The church was full. I really am lost for words even as I picture every moment that was on 12th Dec 2009. Everyone misses him. There are traces of Abel here in my house, in my room. His watch, his jackets, and the blue curtain that was a background to one of his pictures on facebook! What a loss. there will never be another Abel. There will never be.

Sigh. God's ways are so mysterious. His plans unknown. I fear death- my greatest fear. :(

Abrupt ending- can't help -- I am teary eyed and so thankful for his life..

- on my mum n dad's 25th weddin anniversary -

My brother from Chennai (India) and Myself from Brisbane (Australia) wrote this for the two people, after God, who created us :) .. Ma and Pa celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on 21 nov, 2008 - minus Sam and I.....We couldnt make it for the celebration, but this is what we had to say to them and to all those that gathered!.. Read on! :)

a sharing from both of us- for both of them

**********************************************

Good evening everyone,

A famous poet says, “LOVE GROWS DEARER AS WE AGE” and this we can see in the life of our parents. Married for 25 years now and still very much in love.

At this point we would like to quote 1^st Corinthians chapter 13, verse 13 which says, “Now abide faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Today is a very special occasion for our family and is indeed a very special time for all of us.

We often think of couples who have given up on marriage, who are unwilling to endure through better or worse, sickness or health, poverty or wealth, not being able to compromise and finally ending up at the doors of the court, but Today, my brother and I, thank God Almighty for all the love he has showered upon our parents for the past so many years. Deep faith in God, lifelong commitment, loyalty and self denying love are the themes of their marriage. Mum and dad are a perfect example of God’s unfailing love and constant presence.

We believe it has taken immense trust and faith in each other to keep them together for 25 years. Living away from one another has not been easy. Dad has been the pillar of support and strength to mum, which combined with God’s grace and mercy, has kept them both going for so long. Hats off to our parents for standing by each other in times of trials and hardships.

Our family has been through times of happiness, times of sorrow, times of difficulty and times of achievement. We thank and praise God for putting us through tough times and making us realise that Christ is the Solid rock on which we stand. We are sure that today mum and dad are so full of praise to the Almighty God because it is he who brought them together 25 years ago, and it is He who has kept them together till today. We have an assurance from our heavenly father, that he will see them through all times in their lives. Even as four of us are in four different places, we believe God has a purpose for our family.

Field posting, night duties in the hospital and national conferences have not shaken this relationship that God has so graciously bound with love. Sam and I are reminded of the times when mummy took care of us while dad was posted to field area at Srinagar and she single handedly took care of us, never ever did she let us be sad or feel that dad wasn’t around to provide for our needs. Mummy worked so hard to keep us happy every single day. She did all that it took to ensure that the family was together all the time. At that age, little did we realise how much effort it took to bring both of us up without dad being around. Today, when both Sam and I are away, we cannot help but thank our parents for the guidance they have given us, for the wonderful way in which they have brought us up and for equipping us with the word of God while we were still young. We look back and realise all that they did for the both of us and at this moment we would like to thank mum and dad from the bottom of our hearts for being such fantastic parents to us, being our friend and our guide. There was never a day when they gave up on us or stopped believing in us. They have been encouraging, loving caring, comforting and understanding towards us and they prepared us to be strong courageous children. Whatever we are today is because of the upbringing and nurturing from our parents. Nothing can be forgotten or erased from our minds. Tears of joy fill our eyes on this special day when we cannot be physically present with mum and dad, however, we believe that we are united in spirit.

Mum and dad, here’s wishing you both a very happy 25^th anniversary. May the Lord bless you with many more and grant you your hearts’ desires. We thank you for all that you have done for the family and we look forward to seeing you both real soon. Love you both more than words can ever express. Have a great day. We miss you both and we can’t wait to be together once again.

We would also like to thank all our family and friends who have ceaselessly prayed for the four of us. Thank you ever so much. Please continue to uphold us in your prayers just as we pray for all of you.

Enjoy the fellowship

Love to everyone,

Sam & Rebecca

CHAT FRIENDS can change your world around :)- it has happened to me :D

we met 5 years ago!

we met online- in the cyber world! :)

thanks to the YM!

we've been in touch - 5 years and counting! and trust me when i say this- these guys are for the keeps! :D

being there for me, listening to me, making me smile, supporting me, and completing suiting the definition of a "friend" - this is what Zohaib and Shane are to me!

Much much more if i could put in here !

Endless phonecalls, nonstop crazy funny chats on any messenger , 1paisa local sms and 2 bucks std sms- i did not care :D i had to keep it going :D , its been fantastic ! :D

Life is sooo complete with these two adoreably adorable men in my life ! aha!

distance did make the heart fonder! - since this was all online- we did not meet for a long long time!

Zohaib and I bumped into each other at a food court, way back in 2004 ! the shy guy that he was; he spotted me and sent his friend to ask me if i was Rebecca !! and well, yes it was me! and it was him! :) the entire "online" relation began to get real :) its been the best so far ! :) .. [you can lean on me, my love will still remain!]

shane's an extreme case !! we've never met, but there' is not one day when I feel we've still not seen each other in person! :) the relationship has grown so beautifully-- distance which existed in the past, and that which still exists, doesnt seem so obvious now! :) However, im soooooooooo eagerly waiting for that one day when Shane and I will meet and sparks will fly, hahaa! :) well, not really, but yes! We're gonna meet :) Are we not, shane? oh, btw's we've planned to meet in SriLanka ! :P Ask him! He promised to take me there actually :D :P haha! - aww is he cute or what !! :D

once again, thanks to technology- I talk to them when i want to! :) i love to listen to Zo's chirpy "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and Shane' s ever naughty "Hellewwwwwww" .. they really are the best people i've come across ! :) they're close to being perfect :) and there is absolutely nothing i would want to change about the two of them! :) lovely in their own ways - to the world they maybe be just other guys, but to me, they mean the world :)

And i know for a fact, that no matter what - we're always going to be friends :) you know, the friends for life thing? yep! pretty much that ! :)

zohaib and shane- you guys are my favourites! :) at the top spot in my life ! :) When i look back into the past, when i rem'mbr those days we met online .. i find it difficult to believe that we've come this far with an online relationship! or well, we're just too posh, aren't we :D :D - thanks guys for meaning so much to me! :) what would i do without you both? :P or in michael bolton's words - tell me how am i suppopsed to live without you ? :P
