Love you 3000!

So for this post, we have brought the person behind the lens in front, you could say he is my muse because I simply love clicking his pictures!

If this goes as per plan, this should be the very first post you would read that is written by me for you. Happy Birthday bbdoll! Hume tumse yaar kitna, ye hum nahi jaante because utni counting hume aati hi nahi hai! But someone you love tried to explain it as “Love you 3000” so yesssss I do love you 3000! You better reply that you love me 6000!

Dodo, I have never believed that you have to experience love in some majestic gesture or it is this loud feeling. Nah. I feel love is in those mundane things we ignore. We could do the biggest gestures to make each other feel validated yes but yaar love can only sustain through those small and simple things. Tolerating my spam of cloud pictures, endless hyperlapse of same scene every evening, watching a series you’ve given up on ages ago just because I am still interested, going through 30 odd tiktok videos I spam you with and replying to each one because it matters to me, downloading snapchat cos I want to do a streak, staying up that extra hour because I want you too, bearing with my endless opinions on things that are probably worthless for you. I could go on but I feel you got the drift? That’s love.

I still am shook whenever I think of how this relation has turned into a long distance relationship, fuck you Corona. For a person who always thought she won’t sustain even a month in a long distance relation to have survived 4 without meeting you is the actual testimony that I might have days where I am down but I trust this relationship and love you (3000, obviously)! It is 0300 am right now and I am just trying to formulate words to convey to you that you mean the world to me. 3am. For someone who himself sleeps at 11pm, significance samajh rahe ho na? I mean waise toh tum ho sakht launde par I hope yahan tum bhi pigal gaye..

I know this is the first birthday you won’t be celebrating with your friends and that might make you feel a little down but I promise we will have a big belated bash to make up for this Lockdown wala Birthday! ❤

Polaroid Love!

I know I have done this below a lot of pictures but I LOVE THIS PICTURE so so so much! I really do.

This is from my first birthday with you and you had given me the best gift I could ask for, your time! Oh, also the Polaroid camera or whatever it is called. While I was still trying to check how it even works, you had managed to click a selfie with it and developed this first image as well. Mind was blown. I will always cherish this picture. It is so cute. Like always, I am stunned how your first picture in a polaroid camera and that too in a selfie mode turned out this good? Like, HOW?!

Both my birthdays with you have been so amazing. I am missing those times very badly now where I could decide on whim that I want to meet you and make it happen. Uff. Khair, thank you so much for changing my perception about my birthday from a day which I used to ignore to a day I look forward to because it would mean being with you and being pampered by you.

Love you max!

Three kids!

How can I not put up a picture from this day? I mean I know I don’t believe in anything elaborate or mandatory but I really loved the way this day turned out. Most importantly, I love this picture so much. It has three cutest kids captured by the cutest person.

I was so nervous, I had just turned up into a room where I barely knew people. Worse, everyone was staring at me! How did I get through it? Probably because of you. I remember I could not even eat anything. Imagine!!!!! Still gives me the shivers. And there you were, eating like it is any other day, with your “it is what it is” attitude. I have never really implicitly told you but I love you so much for wearing the ring as fondly as you do. It makes me veryyyyyy happy. I don’t really know why but it does. What made this day most special was how you stuck by me throughout and helped me get through it, in your own way. I am going to need it in future. A LOT. I am sure you know what I mean.

Okay now, ending this here by giving you a task, message me what you understood when I said “I am going to need it in future”. I am really going to need you so I need to ensure you understood without me having to spell it out. This also helps me to know if you are actually reading that I am so invested in writing.

The one from our tech expert and traveler!

Met you at Dukkar’s birthday party in 2018 at Hitchki for the first time also met Pooja for the first time on that day, and then we immediately hit it off ! From our discussions I could make out that you are some kinda Mumbai Club and Cuisine Guru 😝

This was clicked in 2018, this picture is very close to my heart ! Thank you so much for this picture 🙂 Met kanksha and Avinash for the first time during this trip. We spent the most amazing 3 days there and this picture brings back all those memories as well 🙂

This was in 2019 at marine drive, by then I knew about your love for photography and your skills, you had carried DSLR along with lenses and it was great to see you go on your famous silent mode :p and just click awesome pictures.

Wishing you a very happy birthday, have a safe one this year 🙂 I know you must be as cool as a cucumber even during the lockdown LOL ! But once it’s over let’s hit the new clubs, let’s try different cuisines !!#SamsungGalaxyPartners

Brides galore!

The women featured in this blog (a few are missing) are all super women and I love them immensely. So if this feels like me fangirling, it probably is.

So one of the first things Bhavesh did when we were getting to know each other was tell me about his friends. I swear, that is when he is the most excited. He loves all these girls a lot and cherishes the friendship he shares with each one of them. So, when talking about them he also shared how he attended their weddings with his DSLR and captured them. He genuinely seemed proud of capturing the moments of one of the most important days in their life! He almost made me jealous of not being present at these weddings!!! So I felt, all things considered, all these pictures deserve a separate feature!!

She is as sweet as she looks! The girl with a golden smile that could melt anyone’s heart. Interestingly, me and bhavesh were already dating when he attended Meenakshi’s wedding in Delhi. She was not aware of my existence until that day from what I know and I was getting live updates from Vasu about what was happening at the wedding. Even through phone, I was so excited!! Meeting minu was probably the easiest because that’s how she is, warm and welcoming. She has a way to connect with people. The thing I love most about Minu is that she is the best listener, that’s also something that makes her a very good friend. You can tell her anything and she will listen endlessly without judging you. To wrap it up, she is sweet and brilliantly aesthetic, just like this picture ❤

I can keep looking at this picture and not get over it because of how beautiful she looks and I can keep talking about Ritu and yet it won’t be enough because of how amazing she is. If you are just meeting bhavesh, Ritu is one of the first names to pop out of his mouth and rightly so. She has had his back since forever now and it shows. The comfort and relation they share is above and beyond anything and anyone else. Ritu is also one of the most pampered ones for Bhavesh. She often says she has harassed Bhavesh over the years, but hello, showing 10 outfits to best friend to choose one and then wearing the 11th one is not harrassment. It’s the most best friend thing to do!!! He loves pampering you, a lot. Also, there is nothing Ritu can’t do. Seriously. She cooks amazingly, she has the coolest fashion sense, her baking is to die for, she runs her own business, I could go on and on and on. Ritu, you have amazed me too many times and each time I tell this to Bhavesh he goes “ya, that’s Ritu”. His love for you is evident from how fondly he speaks about you. Lastly, Ritu is a bundle of love and care and I am so happy to be one of the lucky ones to be recieving it in abundance along with Bhavesh ❤

Sana is an actual ray of sunshine that engulfs everyone just as the picture portrays! Bhavesh calls her super sana and I have come to agree with it, in my own way I can conclude that it is not just a tag. She is super, in every sense the word can be used. She is empathetic, she is beautiful, she is smart and she has one of the most kind hearts I have ever come across. The best quality about Sana is that she sees the best in everyone. If you are talking to Sana and telling her just about anything, you can be assured that you will have her 100% attention and no matter how mundane what you are telling her is, she always sees something nice in it. I have told her this already and I know bhavesh completely agrees with me when I repeat that Sana is very inspiring! Interestingly, Sana means brightness and radiance which is exactly what Sana is and also what this picture depicts – a beautiful soul, inside out ❤

I just grinned from cheek to cheek because I had to write about Kanuuu! My first impression of Kanksha is of that girl who goes “BUNNNNNNNNNYYYYYY” for no reason at all. Yes, that is right. She could have been with Bhavesh for hours and suddenly she would say this just because that is how happy she is with him. Kanksha is a fiery little miss you would not want to cross. She has a very small closed circle of people that she absolutely adores and if you are a part of it, you probably should consider yourself lucky. I hope I get entry into the circle sooooon!😋 I know Bhavesh is immensely lucky to have Kanksha in his life. He has told me Kanksha is that one friend he can speak to at any point and about anything. I still remember how on our first date, he had pointed to a Starbucks outlet and had said “aree Kanksha hoti toh khush hojati yahan”. And as I have come to know her, I think this instance defines Kanksha. She feels in extremes. There are things and people she is extremely passionate about and if she speaks to you about it, she can make you fall in love with them. There is a very kind side to her which very few get to see. You ask her for help with something and she will be with you till the end of it. Kanuuuu, bunny and I love you ❤

If there needs to be a picture that defines Vasu, I’d pick this one. She is a live wire full of energy, bubbly and the cutest bundle of joy. Vasu, there is so much I could write about you and it won’t do justice to how amazing you are. You are the smartest person, most kind, superlatively expressive and immensely funny. We both can talk for hours and jump from one topic to another with such ease, I don’t really feel like I have known you just for two years. Feels way way longer. I seek you out like you are one of my own friends. Be it sharing something as simple as a dish I cooked or something as complicated as politics, talking to you is so fun. I still remember the first thing we bonded over was a Joey GIF and our love for emails. If I have such ease with you in such a small time, I can only imagine how much must bhavesh love you! From what I have heard from him about you, you are his go to buddy. As he says “Vasu ke saath sab chalta hai”. I mean, this much ease only comes when there is ample of love behind it and there is. How can one not love you anyway? Duh! You are so adorable! And behind that smile and bubbly face is a strongest and fierce girl who is strong, both mentally and physically. Be it your perseverance to achieve your goal or your discipline around workout routine, it just leaves me in awe! Wrapping it up with a hope to see you very very soon and just want to tell you, “You do You, Vasu” ❤

The one where our dancer becomes writer!

The only picture taken by you that I could find was this, on your birthday last year at Baraana. Ohh hey, Happy Birthdayyyy Bhavesh🥳. This also made me wonder why don’t i have a picture with you instead? Well, that’s what good photography skills does to you, makes you always stay behind the lens. Going to make sure we click a picture together whenever we meet next.

When i was asked to write something about you, the very first instance came to my mind was when you came for my dance show. Honestly, I really didn’t expect you to say even yes but you did and i remember you didn’t just show up, you were very much there and gave me a good feedback on both my performances too (well, everyone knows how fond i am of REACTIONS and how bad or subtle you are with that 😂) but still you managed in your own way and that means so much to me. Thank you so much for coming that day and cheering for me from the audience.

I know many will say how lucky you are to have a partner like pooja (which by the way you are), specially after this exceptionally amaizng birthday gift. But I am happier to say that pooja is lucky to have you, she has finally found someone who manages to deal with her drama, respects her opinions on anything and everything, understands her emotions and of course THE someone who agrees to travel with her anywhere and everywhere (not that you have any other option) and has happily called himself her suitcase too😂. Thank you so much for coming into her life and make me feel less guilty when I ditch her for most of her plans (though i know i am irreplaceable and she would still want me if she plans that way) but i feel relieved that you are there with her to make her feel alright. Amidst all the congratulatory messages for the upcoming wedding and your future endeavours, I want to wish you all the best for your future ADVENTURES with my best friend ❤️

Concluding with this picture, the only time we have gone to clubbing till now. Take it as a reminder of how i want to see you dancing next time when we go clubbing 😉 Happy Birthday once again bhaveshhhhhh🥰
