I remember now...

His name was Aziz. Pretty sure you dated for about two months.

So apparently I was wrong, I didn't throw out our letters. Ma found them and got some for me. I spent part of the day reading them.

Do you remember when we used to go to computer lessons together, after ICSE. It was so bloody hot and I never had anything to wear. They were trying to teach us MS DOS. What a colossal waste of time. After a while we just stopped going and started hanging out.

That was the summer we met Jojo and Rudro. We also hung out a fair bit with Bhai. On the way to Radhika's house, I fell off the bus and scraped my knee and my new white jeans. I think you mocked me endlessly about that. Not all of us can be graceful, some of us are clumsy. Bah!

I remember that we were chatting with this gorgeous guy, in St. Xaviers campus that summer. He was really good looking. I think he was interested in you, but not you in him. I have this memory of us sitting on the bleachers talking to this guy about his insecurities and ego. For a gorgeous guy, he sure did have issues.

That same summer, or was it a summer later,  I ran out in a towel in the middle of shampooing my hair. I remember you and a group of other people were there.  I had just been chased out of the bathroom by a cockroach. You looked very calmly at me and said "I think cockroaches are cute".  There's a pic of the two of us in towels, a few years after this incident. I don't remember that day at all.

I hate that there are gaps in my memory. I was reading the letters and had forgotten some of the names in them. I wanted to call you to ask you about them. Your number is on of the few numbers I know. It's strange to think that I will never dial it again. In a year or so,  I'll probably forget the number.

We got too little time together and even in this little time, I can't remember it all. The memories are all I really have left of our friendship and even then, there are gaps.
