3D: Diva, Donna, & Dhaasu

 “No matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it without your friends.”- Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Here’s introducing Donna & Dhaasu, my best buddies, and since it’s my blog I get to be Diva.

Dhaasu and I grew up in Kolkata…Donna and I forgot all the growing up in Delhi J. Well about us, we are students of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And as people, Donna and I are surely “Monica (F.R.I.E.N.D.S)” and Dhaasu oscillates from being Chandler to Joey…with humor as his defense mechanism and never letting go of the “how you doin?” attitude. Donna is also called “Memsaahib” for her English ways & tastes. She prefers Danish pastries and Croissants to Paranthas and is chiefly responsible for my sweet tooth and love for the color Purple. Dhaasu isn’t far behind…the other day he invited me to have ‘high tea’. To best describe him there’s a song “English thumke dil ki rhythm pe, mare jam jam ke desi boy”. 

What binds us? Our secularism (we come from Bengal, Kashmir, and Kerala…we soon want to upgrade to 4D so anyone from the far West, there’s a vacancy), our passion for long, nonsensical chats (from silly talks on Yahoo! Messenger with falling hearts environment to “ashleel baatein” on Gtalk & Skype), love for food (we are green people chomping off all the chicken, mutton & fish coming our way to preserve the trees), and our amazing persona (Courtesy: DKNY, Zara, Maui Jim, Guess, Body Shop, Rayban, Lifestyle, Sabhyata, Mary Kay, Kaya, etc.). 

So three cheers to Donna and Dhaasu for sticking around and “may the romance & insanity never die” in our lives – Sue, Rang De Basanti!
