So ever since english composition was introduced in my school syllabus hamesha ek type ki exercise zaroor milti thi which was like writing a letter to your best friend or writing an essay about your best friend. Aur main hamesha usme best friend k naam alag-alag likhta tha.

But after my highschool i met this guy and he became a constant in my life as well as in those exercises. Hamne ek saath kaafi zyada achhi achhi memories share ki hain like ham saath mein guitar practice karte thhye. We discovered our love for literature together. Ruskin Bond ki naa jane kitni kahaniyan saath mein padhi hai hamne.

We were like Bros. We even had our very own Bro Code. And pure school ko pata tha ki they are like brothers from different mothers. We even decided ki ham ek hi college mein padhne jaenge but you know, life happens.

His father was retired from Indian Air Force so he also had this fancy of joining forces. Fir one day in my final year of college uska call aaya and he told me ki I am the second person after his father jisko vo bata raha ki He got selected in Indian Naval Forces. And to this day that phone call is one of the best phone calls i ever had in my life.

When i was working in Bangalore, he even came to meet me travelling hundreds of Kilometer.

And then one day I realised ki its been months maine ussey baat nahi ki and iski koi khaas wajah bhi nahi hai ki why i didn't talk? And even few months back he was visiting his parents. Aur usne milne ke liye text kiya and I didnt reply. Aur jab vo chala gaya to i regretted.

And I don't know why I did this. I also know ki he felt very sad because of that.

And if you are listening to this, Arpit you will always be my Best Friend.
