For all the amazing people in my life

This is dedicated to all the amazing people I've in my life. Those who make my life beautiful and worth living. Those who have been there. Those who know the bad in me. Those who tolerate me. Those who make me believe that no matter how bad the world gets, it still has people who love you with all their heart.

Mumma - She has made us strong, disciplined and is one person who keeps me grounded. Extremely helpful and very lively.

Bapi - The most caring person I've ever come across in my life. Great husband and an amazingly awesome father. If I find a man half as caring as he is, I would consider myself lucky.

Mumma and Bapi - Together, they have inculcated values in us, which have made us better human beings. And they are a great example of couples who are in love with each other even after 26 years of their marriage.

Anu - She definitely is the person I love the most in this world. She is my man-friday, my friend, my partner in crime and a great sister.

Lucy - If you want to know what unconditional love and innocence is all about, get a dog. She has taught me selfless love. You have to see her to believe how cute she is.

Thakuma - Though I'm not on good terms with her for almost 12 years now, I still love her for loving us the way our didun would have, if she was alive then.

Shilpa - She, in one word, is my SOS. I can't imagine how I would have dealt with most of my crap if I didn't have her. She is the only family I have outside my family.

Akhila - Akhi, food and me - its as good as it can get. The biggest contribution she has in my life is that of introducing me to the world of booze. Can never ever thank her enough for that.

Umaima - She is one person who will patiently listen to your shit even when she herself is in deep stinky shit. Very sweet, extremely funny and a great friend.

Shilpa, Akhila and Umaima - Apart from my family, these are the only people I know, who will be there with me even if I'm jobless, diseased, drunk and lying in a gutter. If I didn't have these guys as my first lesson in friendship, I would have never believed in friendship the way I do today.

Sharad, Gopal and Badri - I had to mention these guys together because for me all three of them are one person. My classmates from K.V. Picket, they made the maths and accounts classes so much fun. Very sweet, caring and protective. I just hope that they don't get one of those pathetic sticky type girlfriends who doesn't like me being friends with them.

Prashant - He is my emergency helpline in Mumbai. One person I can call knowing that my call will be answered and I will be helped.

Amit - This guy pampers me like no other. I've had my best laughs with him and have hung out the length and breadth of Mumbai, many a times, with him for years now without getting bored.

Sourabh dada - He is a sweetheart. The coolest brother one can have.

Pintu - He is the guy who understands. Believe me he really does.

Chintu - The one guy with whom I've a great mental tuning. He tells me the truth in the "not so harsh" way.

Sourabh dada, Chintu and Pintu - Thanks to these guys, I've never felt the absence of an elder brother in my life.

Swati madam - A teacher who went beyond being just a teacher.

Having these guys in my life makes living so mush easier for me. I'm more than glad that I've had the privilege of being with some of the most amazing people God has ever created.
