Gues(t) who?

Note from Sayesha: Ok you guys can stop bugging me now - here's your guest post! And it's not in C++. Phew! :D

===============================================

Today I'm the postman. Rather, the "one-post man". She said her blog friends wanted a guest post. How could I let such a
chance slip? The big question was - what do I write about? There are reasons why I don't blog, and chief among them is the fact that although I have a lot of ideas and thoughts in my head, when I put pen to paper, what results is a blank sheet. I'm just not that good when it comes to writing. Anyway, since some folks have asked for it, here's a post about my best friend.

Sayesha and I studied at the same university. And that's about all we had in common. We are from opposite ends of the personality spectrum. She's the extrovert, loves to sing and dance, creative genius, and so on. I on the other hand, am the self-confessed introvert. She's a fantastic cook and loves to play host. I remember all the times she used to invite her friends over to her hostel room for cake and strawberry jelly that looked so beautiful, it seemed straight out of a cookbook. Frankly, I am a real food-lover and so we're a perfect match in that regard. She needs a bakra to try out new recipes on... and I can totally live with that! :)

She is a very emotional person. One who really radiates joy when she is happy and one who can be depressingly depressed (if that makes sense) when she is sad. The way she feels for her friends and loved ones is very "dil-se". She's also got a very strong sense of intuition that is freaky at times.

I totally adore her creativity, her energy, her skills (culinary, literary, artistic) and all the things that make her who she is. And perhaps therein lies a clue to what makes us tick. Despite not having the same interests or similar personalities, we do have something in common... admiration and adoration for each other.

We've come a long way since we first got to know each other. Now, a new beginning awaits, and it's sure to be an interesting journey. Even though noone knows what the future holds, I do know that whatever happens, we will always be what we started off as... best friends.

By the way, she wore a pair of pearl ear-rings today and I think they suit her too!

HaRi pRaSaD said...

Machan!! (Well..thats a very popular slang in Tamil...something like Dude!!)

In fact I was wondering if I could suggest Sayesha to ask you to pen down something so that we got some break from the regular crap she dishes out!!!!! ;))) (You just can't define the happiness you get when pulling someone's leg..er..even digitally!!!)
And I get to read your post today!! May be she mind readed me (Freaky indeed!!)

Anyways Machan! Wishing you both a very happy married life and lots and lots of joy!!
Cheers
Hari

Deeps said...

Sash's guy (since you've given no name, we've to call you something), your post was good, but wasn't enough :-p. You said everything about Sash and not enough about yourself :-). Oh well, I guess Sash woh kami poori kardegi, kabhi na kabhi :-D.

//The way she feels for her friends and loved ones is very "dil-se". She's also got a very strong sense of intuition that is freaky at times.

Despite not having the same interests or similar personalities, we do have something in common... admiration and adoration for each other.

And these are very well written posts.. but the one i love best is the 4 liner (4 liner from Sayesha!) which announced that she has said "yes"

:-)

Sakshi said...

#hari
Thanks machi! :)

// In fact I was wondering if I could suggest Sayesha to ask you to pen down something so that we got some break from the regular crap she dishes out!!!!! ;)))

Ouch! I'm sure Sayesha's not happy to hear that. Given the amount of time I took to write this one post, I'm not that happy either ;)

PS: Enakum tamizh theriyum :P

Well...just like Sash welcomes everyone here...we welcome u at the bar as a writer..."Welcome to Sayeshaz!" :D
Even though noone knows what the future holds, I do know that whatever happens, we will always be what we started off as... best friends.
That calls for a toast... Cheers!

Wish you two a gr8 life together.
@Sash: u may take a brk from the blog once in a while...think Viv can do the job perfectly well in ur gair-maujudgi ;-)

Anusha said...

@Sash,
Hehe, I must admit -- hume toh yahan baithke bahut sara mazaa aa raha hai, bwahahahaha *twirls imaginary moustache*. Waise, I don't need to write a guest post, darling -- I already have a blog! If Viv also blogged, all this guest post 'hoo-haa' would never have started in the first place! ;)

@Viv,
If I were you, I'd seriously considering changing my 'comment' name to Mr.Sash. Seriously, it sounds hella cool. :D

R said...

@ Viv

Iday said...

//Hopefully, the compiler doesn't give a divide-by-zero error while trying to define infinity
Nope. The compiler handles infinity itself and does not let it to the processor. So no divide y zero error :P

Anyway - bhai ko bar mein tech talk karna pasandh nahin hai (kyon ki use kuch bhi samaj mein nahin aata).
And i dont wanna be kicked out of the bar :(
So me no tech talk anymore.
