We all need a person in our lives who can make us
laugh even when we are feeling to break down, someone who can bring a spark of
happiness even during the most pallid hours of our life. I am too lucky to have
such a person in my life who is not only my best friend, but is also my
lifeline and soul sister.
I call her my lifeline because whenever I feel
burdened with the weight of the world and feel that life is not going my way,
she brings it back on track by her motivating words that are coated with a
killer sense of humor.
I broke my leg on her birthday in 2013, which was a
terrible year for me. I looked at her with moist eyes and said “Pri, I think it’s a fracture.”
Instead of shedding tears or offering me any amount
of sympathy, she started giggling and hugged me tightly. I was confused by her behavior
and looked at her without a word.
“This proves we are soul sisters, my love. Last
year, I also broke my leg and had a fracture in the exact same place. Cheers to
our friendship and our unbreakable bond, Purba. Let’s celebrate!” This was my
peppy bestie, Priyam’s reply which instantly lightened my mood. I started
laughing and the fracture didn’t seem too big an issue anymore.
With her by my side, even the most difficult
problems seem easy. It feels that when we are together, all the problems seem
to bow down before us. If anyone or anything spoils my mood, I just need to
dial her number and she would ensure that I laugh so much that tears trickle
down my eyes.
The thing that makes this girl so unique and peppy
is her quirky nature. I have come across so many different people, but no one
is as quirky and as crazy as her. She gets sudden desires of exhibiting her
craziness to the world. We were in CCD one day, chatting about our respective
lives. Suddenly, I saw a twinkle in her eyes and instantly, I knew that she is up
to some mischief.
When the waiter came with the bill of three hundred,
she decided to give him two hundred rupee notes and coins amounting to one hundred
rupees. The poor fellow looked at us as if we are some aliens and the other
people in CCD looked at us as if we are some lunatic clowns. I felt embarrassed
to the core, but Priyam looked like she has achieved something great.
“See, I made so many people smile today. If there is no craziness in life, there is no life at all.” She said and started laughing as we came out of the CCD.
This peppy girl is definitely one of the best things
that have happened in my life. Right now, I am thinking about her crazy
reaction when she will read this post.
