Numero Uno!

Well, this is the first of a dedicated series of posts about people in everyday life.. (Not actually my idea, but a brilliant one, never the less!) So it kinda is difficult to choose numero uno!
But i guess "opposites attract" should be the first..
Met this person when we were small little kids.. All of 16 yrs.. But still oddly different.. Different cause all the "normal" things didn't seem to attract him one tiny bit.. Not girls, not games, not the movies, not the cool hangouts, nothing.. Sort of weird for someone that age, huh?!
We became pals thanks to our common friend base from BP.. The journey since has been more than a fun ride!
Getting addicted to the now can't live without 'AoE'; understanding a little bit of economics, money making, the stock market; finding out places which serve you cheap but awesome food(read: khichadi); figuring out that ether anesthesia works, thanks to some experiments(don't ask me what they were); reading up on all weird little elements of history(and with me forgetting all of them); realizing that happiness can be found even in the smallest of places and a lot more; all thanks to him.. I guess a few of the things i've picked up from him are not what i would say the old me would.. But as chemistry text books aptly put it, opposites do attract!
God bless you, old friend of mine..

Thats him..




The last of all the generations of cats we've had..
