This is the letter I've written to my another bestie Venkat, whom we call 'Venkhan'. I printed this on to a letter card and sent him before he left to Kuwait for his job. We are one hell of a crazy combination. His wavelength matches with mine. And the letter follows..
My Bestie, Venkhan!
I want to take the time to tell you how very important you are in my life. It’s hard sometimes to say these things in person, even to a best friend, so I’m taking help of this letter to convey my feeling to you.
How do I put into words how much you mean to me? How could a single letter possibly explain all the cherished moments of the past four years? Well, let me try my level best.
I still remember the day when I first came to your room in Chaitanyapuri, to complete my English record. You secured your spot in my list of best friends on the very day. From that day we have shared a lot of funny instances, the night studies before every semester exams, the coding technique for remembering the answers, the jokes we cracked on the PP Harsha, the chicken and drink parties, the tour and what not? Our practice of crossing 30 pages in the exams was a huge click, cheers!! You made me forget my parents sometimes. I love the feeling that we think the same way, like we are born to be friends forever. We have almost same dreams and views in life. We discovered studies are not the only thing in our lives. We even laughed at the smallest things (Do you remember the EDC class in 2nd year?).
Unlike our other friends, we both are rough and tough and aggressive in nature. You know my moods very well. You never got mad at me when I was extremely stupid and irritated you. Whatever I do or say is only to generate some fun around but not to hurt anyone, because most satisfying moment for me is when I make everyone smile and laugh. In the same way I started teasing about your love story and “Khanum”, because you can’t be best friends without insulting each other. You even had your first beer with me on August 4 2012 on friendship day, remember? Now don’t blame me for you drinking it, idiot. Being with you makes me laugh and gives me more energy than I actually have. We have had good times in these four years; I wish they just keep continuing. I wish we get back to the good old days.
The last one year was a very tough period in my life. The thought of all of us getting separated really pissed me off. But we have to accept the reality. Thank you for bearing an idiot like me for these four years. Thank you for all the tasty chicken you cooked. Thank you for teaching me M1 on the night before the exam. Thank you for standing by me in the tough times. You are going to a different country now and we are not going to see each other for a quite some period. No matter where life takes us, you will always be the one someone I can trust and always be a part of me.
It is getting late, so I will stop. This letter is a lot shorter than I would like it to be. There is so much that I want to and could say, but I don’t want to bore you with a lengthy boring letter because I know about you. I know we will see each other again; we travel the world in future.
All the best, Hope to see you soon (may be in your marriage).
Thank you for reading, I mean it.

Due to time constraint, I've used some common lines in both of my letters to my friends.
