As heavy duty the name might sound, I always remembered and will remember her as the tiny, chirpy and extremely adorable AND huggable girl (even though I hate pdoa, she is just so adorable).
When I saw her after 12 years in her diva avatar, one thing was just the same...she was still sitting small and meek in the corner like in the classroom. In school, she was always the short, cute little girl who no teacher even dared to scold as she came across as so vulnerable. Even though we were not the best of buddies(or wait we were not even buddies) in school but here we are and this is us. We landed in the same team after so many years to become the best of chums. But those golden days lasted but a few months till her team was changed. Gosh! It felt like they changed my best friend's class section...
Nevertheless,our breaks are always together. The day starts with an ode to each other to be followed with a frothy, steaming and lovely cappuccino seducing us with its fresh bean aroma (ok, this isn't about cappuccino but both of us just love it). It's never any other way and the day when it is, our mood is completely spoilt. Chittering chattering, the coffee breaks are over soon too soon and followed by gossip on messenger or even animated conversations on office extension (a lot of times about school). A day in office is never complete without her. She makes me feel connected to the past long gone and brings back that girlie sparkle.
As life rolls by, I hope we keep in touch. But all in all, my piece of advice. Never burn your bridges because you never know who might turn to be your closest buddy tomorrow. So here's to Alka Singh Chauhan ;)
