Dumbo

When I woke this morning, I thought I had to write something about my Dumbo and my friends, WS and ESI.

I met these fellas in 1994 when we entered college. I was the only Indian in a class of 40+ Chinese students and I just hit it off with ESI. We sat together throughout 3.5 years of our studies.

Dumbo is a tall guy who sat infront of us and was blocking our view, the first time he turned around to talk to both of us was in our accounts class...I was hopeless in accounts as I had never done accounts in school while ESI was much better off and Dumbo, being Dumbo, forgot all about accounts...somehow from there, we just became good friends and ESI and I are the only ones who can call him Dumbo :-)

WS came into our lives coz he was attracted to ESI and he slowly entered into our circle....

This was the group that was with me when my dad passed away, my biggest blow in life and they helped me to cope with life....they were there for every single step of my life after dad...they just waited until I finished crying...they were just there....

Now, back to Dumbo, he is younger than me by 3 years, but he bosses me around worst than my big brother. This is the guy who held my hands to cross the road coz I donno how to cross roads if I am not holding anyone's hands. This is the guy who waited at the bus stop one night coz I did not have ride back home (he only has a bike and he had to fetch his gf) and waited till a bus came and told me not to board the bus as it was empty and waited till I got in the next bus, he made sure I took off my chain and watch before even walking to the bus stop.

This is the guy who gave ESI and me a single rose on Valentine's day, he said he knows both of us don't have bf and he took us out on Chap Go May as on Valentine's day, he was taking his gf out...

This was the guy who told me when I told him that I m getting married to think carefully before I do it and when he dropped me off after dinner, told me that no matter what I decide, he will be there for me 100%. When I got married and was going off to US, this was the guy who gave me a big hug infront of my house and told me to take care.

When mom passed away, I was in US and he was the 1st person I saw online and I was crying and crying, feeling guilty for not being there for my mom, and he told me that I have done all I could all those years I was with mom, he told me not to regret, he told me this was life, he told me my dad would have been proud of me...

This was the guy, when last year I decided to break away from my hubby, I saw Dumbo online and I told him I need to talk, and he flew from sg and came and picked me up for dinner and we chatted and I cried and he listened...

When I was chatting with my salesman and I told Dumbo that I might be going out with my salesman, he was dead against it, he scolded me so much, he really did and after scolding me, he asked if he sounded like my dad, I said no, dad would not have scolded this much :-)

Last nite, I saw Dumbo online, told him I have not cried in the past 4 days, he said that's wonderful and I told him I am finally going to see the lawyer, he said good and most importantly, he said I will be okay.... then I asked him, "can you take me for a moonlight walk on the beach?" he replied " yes, I will be there coming Thursday and I'll call you and we shall go for your walk"...

This is my Dumbo and Krshna, thank you for giving me my Dumbo!
