DAY 70:

Many more happy returns of the day, ra.

This is your first birthday without me in 14 years. Our first time apart on each other's birthdays.

Ammamma must have been busy making your usual birthday lunch. You must be busy too. It's your 1st birthday with Nisha.

I have no doubt she'd make it extra special for you.

After more than two months, I reactivated my facebook page for few minutes to send you wishes but I couldn't. I didn't have the nerve to do so.

In the end, I only made a fool of myself breaking down in front of my roommate.

I miss watching your wicked smile as you slice the cake knowing it's going to be smeared on your face minutes later.

I miss listening to your phone calls as I stick by your side and list out the names of people who haven't called you, yet.

I miss not being there with you. Right now.

How did we go from best friends to strangers!
