A brief note to AS

Thanks for the memories *

- of the trips to Inorbit, Charminar, Necklace road and the Zoo

- of the boat we rode at Durgam Cheruvu

- of the "mouth-ke-beech" walk

- of the Cakes and more muffins & Subway coffees

- of the time you tried to teach me to say , "Ekdum rock chick", with proper style and intonation

- of the trips to the night canteens

- of the time you 'rescued' me at Gops (from my 11 P.M. friend, to refresh your memory)

- of the times you told me how good 'new friend' was, and how perfect he was for me

- of the time you went to Kolkata and returned, but sans a Bong Boy

- of the times spent philosophizing on the terrace

- of the spells and voodoo we used on the Chief Warden

- of the times we spent on campus and beyond it

And thanks also for the name ( Sam, the Real Reader :) )

So much has happened in the past two years since you came here. We were friends and we drifted apart. Maybe that's how it was meant to be, and now we're happy where we are.

All the best for your presentation!
