Neha Mordia

For Neha,

Growing up and memories is like diya n baati ( cliché.. but nothing hits better). Everybody has a plethora of growing up memories. Stupidities, crushes, bunking lectures, my-parents-don’t-understand-me tantrums, the realization of the existence of the opposite sex (interesting) , aims which say i-wanna-be-rich-and-famous, bruises, heart breaks, college ,school, play park , bla bla bla , Neha Mordia (my growing up and Neha Mordia are like diya n baati), etc etc etc.

Calling her my best friend would be an understatement of my lifetime.

Always a talkative kid I was, but only with my close ones. She came and she brought out the crazy side of me. As a 12 year old she was a smart and intelligent kid. I was the shy and intelligent kid. Those who know me now might wonder SHY n RAJI… its like saying software and no-bugs together (the software engg in me..damn). I am not taking away any credit from my parents and me and all the other people. But Neha has her part (major part) to play in the person that I am today.
Always an extrovert with no inhibitions. Full of life, ya! that’s Neha. All this dance business that I keep mentioning in every other post of mine, this girl was a dancer right as a child, I had my inhibitions, being with her let me go of all my inhibitions. And that’s why I know today that I love to dance.
I am still way disorganized but if I have even remotely come close to that word its thanks to Neha Mordia.

Well let me introduce Neha Mordia.
Sunshine. That’s one word that comes to my mind when I think of her. One helluva gorgeous female. A true aquarian, she has a charm of her own. And what a blabbermouth we have in her. She can just yapp together for hours at a stretch. She does not only have the power of speech but the power of conversation (ders a difference if u noe). She comes across as this Miss. Attitude and what-does-she-think-of-herself, I know her since 11 years, she is the most fun and down to earth (well not exactly… lol ) girl. Well, if she doesn’t like you then she wouldn’t pretend either. But be ready to be smothered with affection if she has even an insy winsy thing for you. Temper is not her cup of tea, once in a while she might loose it, but most of the times she will not let is out.
A very responsible girl. If she has agreed to do some thing for you then rest assured that it will be done.
Sometimes she is a total tomboy. Sometimes she will want to look like a goddess, well without much effort she manages easily to look like one. At times she will be this philosopher and guide, at times a total brat. Sometimes we have wanted to kill each other at times its Friendship shining all the way. (Psst Psst .. a friend calls her My First Biwi)
Now you might think she is this goody-goody female, hold your breath, she can compete for the Miss. Mean contest if she wants and win it hands down. Lol
Well she has her strings of flaws. But that’s what makes her more special to me. And all my strings of flaws she has always embraced.

These quotes describe her best:

“No matter what the weather, wherever you go, you always bring your own sunshine”.

“Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.”

"Loves absolutely everything that ever happens in her life" (Modified version of :Love absolutely everything that ever happens in your life Paul Cantalupo, MD)

Some memories with her:
1. Right after school , after spending the whole day together, chatting on phone for hours.
2. Discussing how some girls act stupid in front of guys (we were equally bad I guess.. hahah.. school times)
3. Comparing how each other faired in exams (healthy competition is it?)
4. Alternately staying at each others place.
5. Covering up each others blunders at home (I did that most for her ;) )
6. Wanting to throw an egg from her top floor house on to the main road (and actually doing it… crazy)
7. Listening to Bye Bye Bye (N Sync) umpteen number of times to get the lyrics right.
8. Ye chand to seedha seedha gol hai (cant explain this.. )
9. Soothing heart breaks (we have a tendency to fall for THE WORNG GUYS... she just got the RIGHT one)
10. SECRETS (we know too much about each other.. )
11. Fights (silly sillier silliest (if these words exist))
12. Genuine comments (no faking)
13. Egg roll, Aalu paratha, mango milk shake, dosa, fish. (I guess these are memories with each others mums… hahah)

(I am ending up having lists in most of my posts. But kya kare, life hai hi mast. )

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart … and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words
(That’s Neha Mordia for me.)

With Love,
...RaJi...
