Being a resident doctor, Monish had hectic schedules and there used to be days when we did not get to talk.
There were days we could not talk even at night…
But the best part was we could go months without talking and still whenever we talked, NOTHING CHANGED…
We never fought regarding that… Neither he nor I ever questioned each other regarding that matter…
Monish was protective for me… Actually VERY PROTECTIVE…
I feel blessed to have had such a guy in my life…
He was different…!
Um… Yaa He still IS!!....
No one else called me S.G or idiot … Not even Disha…
No one else called him M.D.S… NO ONE!!!
We shared a special relationship and I could be “me” in front of him…
I could talk rubbish with him…
We used to talk 3-4 hours on the phone about absolutely nothing and crack up on the poor jokes we both made when everyone else snored!!!!
He used to help me with my studies whenever I had any doubt…
Blueberry’s Restaurant, Yuvi coffee shop, Java Green, Karnavati Dabeli center, Woodland Restaurant were our favorite hangout spots…
There was this lady at Yuvi coffee shop who was so fond of me and Monish that she used to let us sit there even if we did not order anything… She was truly a darling…
Those were truly the best days of my life…
Those mornings where we texted each other, afternoons when we met in the canteen, evenings when we sat together or watched movies at Rajhans multiplex theatre and nights when we talked on the phone till sunrise… I have my FOREVER in those moments…
To be honest, I never valued it at that time but had it not been for Monish and Disha, I would have had a tough time in that alien city of Nadiad…
And yes of course, not to forget Rajhans multiplex…
Had it not been for that place, Monish and I could not have watched Fashion, Dostana, Ghajini and Rab ne bana di Jodi together….
It was February 2009 already…
I hardly had 2 and half months with Monish and Disha and my five star batch…
I would miss Nadiad…
It is not a metro city…
It does not have any CCD outlets…
It does not have any other happening places or huge malls …
But still Nadiad is special… DAMN SPECIAL!!!!
I had my exams in 2009 and I had hardly 11 months for preparations…
I was very scared regarding the entrance examination but more than that I was scared of the fact that I would have to leave behind Nadiad…
I would have to leave Monish…
I would have to leave Disha, Niharika, Karishma and Richa… My five star intern girls batch!!!!!
I loved them!!!
No more Blueberry’s and the cheese crunchies,
No more movies at Rajhans,
No wetting the feet at Nadiad canal…
I was feeling really horrible…
Those days were really tough for me and I used to crib about it in front of Monish everyday…
I annoyed Monish a lot but still he used to be that sweet guy who never got angry on me, but was always polite and considerate towards me…!!
