TEJAS UDANI-GUPTA
My friendship with Mrs. Tejas Udani-Gupta, to whom the twelfth post on this blog is dedicated, dates back to the days when we were six years old and wore a white shirt and tiny blue-chequered uniform. I first met her in the year 1989/90 (we were classmates in the second and third grades). We lost touch for a while after the third grade (in the year 1990/91), but thanks to Orkut, we are back in touch and it is a pleasure to chat with her after all these years.
She is an extremely headstrong and tough woman who is never afraid to speak her mind. If I were to describe her in one word, it would have to be the word 'bindaas' (the Hindi word for free-spirited).
Extremely spunky and fun-loving, Tejas (the oldest of three sisters) is refreshingly honest and cool. She believes in living life on her own terms, queen-size. Born on the seventeenth day of the month of October, this ever-smiling Libran is urbane, romantic, charming and sociable. She is also extremely level-headed and practical.
She was upset at me for not attending her wedding a year ago in Mumbai, forgetting to wish the couple on their first wedding anniversary and on the day their son Rishab was born, but this post is my way of apologising to her.
Family and friends mean the world to Tejas. Once she makes friends, they are usually her friends forever. Marriage to Shreyansh Gupta and motherhood seem to have had a positive impact on her, and I have never seen her happier.
I have nicknamed her TUG, which stands for Tejas Udani-Gupta, her name post-marriage. Here's wishing TUG and Shreyansh a very long and happy married life and all the luck, happiness and success to the Gupta family and hoping we keep in touch.
