Mahak Dewan

Before I *actually* start the post, I'd like to thank @NoopurJoshi who brought this Orkutiya to twitter. Irony is, after that she never stayed there as you'd see if you follow the hyperlink.

So the fairy tale of a story started in June 2009 when I created my dumb twitter account. Unaware of anything that twitter has to offer to me. Possibilities, friendship, interaction, followers, being in/famous etc etc etc.


Then I religiously started tweeting from December 2009, got to know the fine art of tweeting, crave for RTs, followers, got to know hashtags, #FollowFriday, #nowplaying #clt to name a few and what not. Yes, trending topics had that Fustin Fieber for like forever.


Anyway, then just after a few months I started making friends, *real* virtual friends...





Yes, I met @MahakDewan after a few months. Needless to say, I fell in love with her DP. Naive and proud Orkutiya kinda oxyMoron I was. I started following her just because she was pretty, simply pretty. Aadat se majboor, I asked her, "Is it you in the DP?" and on top of that, asked her to add me on Facebook *shudders*. She denied on my face, "I only add 'friends' who I know properly" was the answer. #OK.

At that very time I met a few more 'friends', I had a gang. We talked shit together, use to crib together, talk among ourselves. It was a mutual admiration society. So far so good. Till it was good.

During those times I was going through a very shit phase of my life - nothing going in my favor. Lady luck went for an vacation. Those times, @MahakDewan and I started chatting more often and use to flood our mutual followers' timeline time and again (morning mostly, yes). We were warned, abused, kidded, put into an OBC quota to name a few. We didn't care. We never did. This was the time when she was already @MahakD from @MahakDewan. Transition went one step further and it was simply @md610 now. Yeah, you guessed it right - to avoid orkutiyas and trolls. Sigh! My bad luck that I never got to enjoy like that. Girls are lucky to get a chance to handle those no? Indeed.

I'm an early riser, (Ha Ha!!). So, from the morning itself we use to chat. New Zealand was day by then - well ofcourse. Yeah, the bot @Bibhu2109 then and now @BrainyShady use to talk a lot as well with her as he use to sleep late. Wagerah! I was jealous, very.

Sigh! We started interchanging DMs now, then mails on gtalk. And one fine day she added me on Facebook. Whoa! :) Yeah - we started posting things on Walls, poke. This and that - left, right and center! You can ask @ImpsMom and @NabeelN for that matter.

We were friends now. Good friends. Over the distance! From New Zealand to India. Oh well.. my bad times with luck was not over, she knew. She was fighting with herself, I knew.

Time went on like that. Her prayers, my trials bore fruit and I was a relieved man now. She still had problems and I kept on underlining and do whatever I could to make her happy. I have no shame in bragging that I succeeded in most of the times. Early morning mails for example.

She called me once - yes. her voice was such a delicacy. I teased her for having a 5-year old's voice. She replied me that I sound like a 40-year old uncle. Which is so untrue. People tell me I sound drunk. But yes, I'm one of the few lucky people who are lucky enough to hear her sing a song. And trust when I tell, she rocks!

Best friends. Came to know lot about her, how artistic she is. How beautiful is her voice. How well she can dance. How strong she is. How well she can smile and hide her pain. How charming her partner is. So happy for her.

I really don't know what made me write this, may be alcohol - or may be not. You will understand, I know.
I couldn't have done it better than you what you did for me. The doodles, the songs, the voice b'day message etc.

Ooooh yes! She is fond of naming me aswell, which I just love it like beer. Notable one is, MHK - Mera Heera Kohinoori. Latest one is Goooeeeeyyyy! Meaning: Edible form of cuteness. :D

Yes, it's her b'day today and I wish her the best in life. And hope she keeps like this for ever. My friend. My best friend. To be frank, I never had someone who I could call that. Except from my sweetest sister Pallavi ofcourse. A Very Happy B'day Mahak!

P.S. - This post won't be considered complete without mentioning @rohwit and @xmanishaa who are also so so so so dear to me. No way, I'm stealing your thunder Mahak.

P.S. - I love you, Doooooeeeeyyyyyyyy!!! SIBAHSTMF! MahakA main MahakA.

P.S. - Take a picture of yourself once you finish reading this post.
