She is one of the most dynamic people I have ever met. She is one
of my best friends. Her name is Srividhya. She was the new girl in school when I
was in the fifth standard. Being me I had scared off potentially everybody who
knew me. That did not stop her from trying to get to know me. Till then I had
friends who were sycophants and basically with me because they were either
afraid or wanted something. And there she was... the new girl who tried to know
me without caring about what she heard. I, who thought the world revolved
around me couldn’t be bothered to talk to her or even be nice but she did not care.
Then came the sixth standard where everything changed. Everybody who
I thought were my friends made my life miserable. Nobody wanted to be with me
or to even be in the same space around me but strangely Vidya stood by me. She never
taunted me. Not only that, she was also always with me without caring a damn
about what people thought of her. That is when I decided to change. Be more
like her.
We grew to be best friends. She is among the few people I truly care
about and admire. She taught me not to be afraid, to stand up and speak for
what I believed in no matter the consequences. And the best part is I know I can
always count on her to be with me no matter who ever leaves me. Vidya is one of
the most intelligent people I have ever met. She is someone who can be anything
that she wishes to be. She never opts for the easy way but works hard to get
what she wants. She has more values than anybody I have met all thanks to her
great parents. She has the most amazing wit! One of the kindest and selfless
people I have met she would rather opt for a night with her family than a
superficial party. She loves to keep it simple and does not let anything
complicate her life.
I was beyond shattered when I heard that she was moving. I suddenly
realized how much I had been taking her for granted. I hated the very thought
of going through normally without her with me. That’s where I was wrong. She
now lives in Ajmer and constantly keeps in touch. But what I realized is that I
am making the same mistakes with her that I already made once. She is so
patient that she never tried to push it. I was so caught up in my own petty
problems that I failed to be there for her when she needed me the most. Being in
a new place with no one that she knows must have been an ordeal yet she never
once complained to me and nor did I try to find out how she felt.
She is the most amazing person I have met and I hope to make it up
to her no matter what. She has always been there for me and now it’s high time I
start being the best friend that I am supposed to be. So am sorry Vidya. I hope
you can give me another chance to be a better friend to you. Love you!
