He Lives....

Aah.. my heart cries when i realise that time has sped by pretty fast and that I am in my last year at KGP now.. last year with a person and a phenomenon called Chintan S Thakkar..

I am surprised that for a guy who is never short of words, I, the chatter-box, am at loss to start writing this testimonial for Chintan.. God knows where to start..

He deserves more than the 1024 characters that orkut offers.. he deserves more than what I have written henceforth.. he deserves the best that life has to offer..

He is easily the boy next door.. the girl who gets him will be the luckiest in the world.. who wouldn't want a guy who eats, drinks, sleeps on time and in the right amount.. who washes his own clothes, who drinks milk and bathes daily (for half an hour !!! - well, that's a different case).. who appreciates good food, is soft spoken, is nice at heart and is simply AWESOME !!

Academically, no one can beat Chintan when it comes to asking doubts.. an inquisitive mind, an innovative and creative attitude.. i will cherish all those classes I have taken with him, all the time we have spent appreciating or mocking our professors, all the lab assignments, all those hugely satisfying intellectual discussions.. dude ! i am gonna miss all those..

He is my worst critic.. someone who can make me shut up.. someone who I listen to.. someone who has had the guts and the gumption to withstand me all the time.. he has been my best audience.. listens to all that I have to say.. has never given me any wrong advice.. he is a counsellor par excellence.. a good decision maker, a suauve diplomat, a smooth talker, a lot of everything !

He, alongwith all my friends, Amit, Kesh, Niket, Rachit and everyone else has made my stay in KGP bearable.. life would have been pretty diffferent and not the same as it is now without all of them..

Chintan, thanks for being what you are.. I know I have troubled you more than what you had imagined I would.. but thanks for still staying put :-) i am still gonna continue doing all that you hate and always advise me strongly against.. but keep scolding me.. keep me on my feet.. i know I am yet to earn all your faith, and I am responsible for that.. but yes, you have earned mine.. I can bet all my dollars on you !

Have a great life.. its all yours to rock !! stay healthy, stay fit, and inspite of all that I tell you about your eating and sleeping and bathing habits and how you overdo them, don't listen to me.. keep doing all that.. its these mundane but important things that are going to take you far far ahead than the rest of us..

He lives..
King Size..

Cheers !
