I Dream of "Gini" (Sam)

Alright now, first things first. Don't let your imagination fly with the title..... that's my best friend... the one closest to me. Though there are many whom I can term the same, she takes the cake... and by miles. The reason being she has never met me!! Intrigued?? Hmmm.......... guess i have to tell you a story.........

The story between Sam and Gini began around 7 months back, when they came across each other in the world of Orkut. Before that they knew about the other's existence through a common friend. So not really strangers to each other, they interacted pretending to be strangers, and before long realised that it was an effort in futility........ Long chat sessions.... fierce arguments..... and then a phone call!!

23rd December was the night. Sam was on his way back from Mumbai, and it was around midnight. Gini calls Sam up for the first time with certain doubts in her mind regarding the person she would be talking to over the phone. But she got more than she had bargained for...... What was supposed to be a 10 minute conversation, ended up being a 3hour long one..... And that remained the norm till the end of April. I mean that was like the minimum number of hours that they would speak.... Often they would touch 6-7 hours in a day.... To an extent they can't pass a single day today without speaking to each other for at least 5 minutes (thanks to professional commitments). The journey till today has been a joyous one... A lot of emotional upheavals.... Turbulent times.... testing times..... But Sam and Gini stayed together....

Here is what Sam has to say about Gini:

"They say all good things come in small packages, but after coming across this girl, I’d say the best things come in small packages. Guarantee humari kismat tumhari!! Lolzzz………… But seriously speaking this lady is a pint sized bomb. Energetic, full of life, very curious, very calm and stable minded…… except when it’s personal……then you’d get to see the fiercely passionate and possessive Gini. And trust me you’d love that sight. To be very honest this otherwise chilled out lady, can be very hot-tempered and god save your soul should you end up being in her wrong books. And from what I’ve heard and experienced…… it’s one hell of an experience. And now the icing on the cake…… she is very moody…… and her mood would swing faster than you can spell it out. Guess I am the only one who can handle that and calm her down to a more rationale frame of mind. Her curiosity knows no bounds. She can ask any damn question imaginable…… and I being the quintessential “Mr. Know-it-all” would go out of my way to answer her then and there. And the best part would be it would all be so logical, she accepts it. I can recall only one question of hers which I’m yet to answer: “How do you know so much??” The first time she had asked me this question was a few days into our friendship. It came around when I had to voice my opinion about her. As fate would have it…… it was more than just accurate…… it was perfect!! She reciprocated in the same manner but took her time (say a few months!! Lol……).
There are so many things about Gini, that either language is inadequate or time or space…… in fact, it’s really difficult to capture Gini’s essence in words. One has to experience her persona. It’s magnetic!! Hunterwali, cattie, dumbo… are just some of the names I refer her by…… At the end of the the day the way we can understand each other is nothing short of a “miracle”!! I’ve tried to sum her up often, coming up with names like Devilish-Angel or Angelic-Devil. While both are applicable to her yet something is always missing. Guess “Ananya” fits her to the T, for she is unlike any other lady you’ll ever come across.
Oh!! I forgot to add…… She hates sweets, loves spicy food, is simply in love with babies (not the bratty ones) and…………………… still loves to play with Barbies…… Sometimes I wonder, whether she is really 23 or is she actually a 3 yr old kid…… That’s how she’d behave when I catch her on the wrong foot!! But still at teh end of the day she's a sweetheart....."

That’s not all. Assume it to be just an insight to a wonderful person called Gini.
And to know what Gini has to say about Sam, ask her if you can find her… else checkout my Orkut profile.


Being the nice girl that she is Gini is always there for me whenever I’ve needed her comforting words…… and it ahs been duly reciprocated on quite a few occasions. It’s been a month that she started her 2nd innings in the professional world. While it has left us with little time to be the chatterboxes that we were, we still manage to catch up. Ummmm…… to an extent you can blame her for this blog bug…… I was happy blogging away in own domain, and never really bothered to venture out into this blog world as such. But, she made me read Tanuj’s blog and then there was no looking back.

So thanks to Gini basically, I’m blogging here today amidst all of you!! Thanks Gini… I owe you one!!

At the end of the day no matter how much we fight and quarrel, but we can't do without each other..... and to top it we are yet to meet... She stays in Delhi and yours truly in Pune.........

There are so many things I have skipped... She deserves a book not a single post!!

And so there you have an insight into my best friend.... my dear Gini... the Angel!!
