Chuddy-Buddy Friend

I don’t even know how to start this blog. As the title says “Chuddy-Buddy Friend”, you must’ve guessed that it’s about my childhood friend who is very close to my heart. Well if you guessed that then let me tell you, you are absolutely right. Wow! Congo, you are good at guessing.

Chuddy-Buddy Friend, it is such a Bollywood-filmy title, isn’t it? Well our friendship is nothing less than a Bollywood movie. We are “Girly” Jay and Veeru. Mansi is her name, I don’t know the meaning of her name and when she was small she didn’t know my name’s spelling. 

Mansi is a damn rich brat, who is younger to me and the only REAL childhood friend. She is the one who hasn’t left me yet. Many of my childhood friends left me but Mansi is the only one who is still here.

I remember we used to sleep together when we were small and even cried for each other. Mansi’s house and mine was used to be very near when I was small so almost every day I used to go to her house and used to come back when it was like heights of being late. We both were so crazy that whenever I used to go back in the evening to my house, she would come running down stairs to let me stay for some more time. But her grandmother used to intervene between us and told her that it was my time to go, and Mansi would just start crying and wouldn’t let go of my hand.

When we were old enough to understand the importance of time, we used to drop each other even though it was just a 2 minutes’ walk. 

They were some crazy moments we shared. She was like so possessive of me, and I guess she still is. When we were small, we used to be at each others' place 24x7 but now that I’ve shifted, she visits me once in a month, if we are lucky. I miss my childhood; I miss those moments when she used to cry for me and me for her. I miss our slumber parties, and I definitely miss her company. We don’t meet much but we still are in touch and will be that Crazy Chuddy-Buddy Friends.

I know what Mansi and I have is not that special, it must be very common between you and your friends too but what makes our friendship special is that after all these years, we are together.
