SHIJIN THOMAS
My friendship with Ms. Shijin Thomas, to whom the eleventh post on my blog is dedicated, dates back to the second and third grades at Indian School Muscat, Oman in the academic years 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively.
Shijin is an extremely fun-loving girl whose best feature is her smile. A typical Gemini woman (born on the eleventh day of the month of June), she is adaptable, communicative, versatile, witty, intellectual, eloquent, youthful and lively.
She has a positive attitude, a fantastic sense of humour and is never afraid to speak her mind. It is always a pleasure chatting with her, because her thoughts are extremely clear.
A stylish girl with loads of spunk, she is now on the other side of the globe from where I am. She's moved to the west coast of the United States (namely, the state of California) from the east coast (namely, the state of New York), and works with a top accounting firm.
I feel extremely fortunate to have a great friend like her and wish her all the luck, success and happiness. I certainly hope we keep in touch on a more regular basis, despite our schedules (and of course the time zones we're in).

SALEHA (ALIA) BANU KHAN
SALEHA (ALIA) BANU KHAN
The tenth post on my blog is dedicated to Ms. Saleha Banu Khan, also known as Alia Khan. She will be referred to as Alia in the forthcoming paragraphs of this post.
My friendship with Alia dates back to the second and third grades at Indian School Muscat, Oman in the academic years 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively. We lost touch after the third grade, but thanks to Orkut, we recently got back in touch after a gap of about seventeen years and it is great to see her after all these years.
She is a spunky lass. In fact, she was born under the zodiac sign Leo (on the fourth day of the month of August) and has a number of qualities in common with a lioness. She is firecely proud of her achievements, extremely generous, warm-hearted, creative, enthusiastic, broad-minded. faithful and loving.
Her family and friends, most of whom she has known for a long time, constitute her world. Extremely talented and passionate about work, this globe-trotter added another feather to her cap when she went to the city of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, to work as a scriptwriter for television serials.
This girl is extremely ambitious and has her head on her shoulders. She is short-tempered but extremely cool, witty and bubbly. Her intellect is her biggest asset.
Here's hoping Alia keeps rocking and we keep in touch with each other and wishing her a great deal of luck and success in all her future endeavours.

PURVI RAMAIYA
PURVI RAMAIYA
The ninth post on my blog is dedicated to Ms. Purvi Ramaiya, whom I have known for almost two decades.
She was my classmate in the ifrst two academic years after I joined Indian School Muscat, Oman, namely the second and third grades (in the year 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively) and then, after a gap of eight long years, we found ourselves in the same class in the eleventh and twelfth grades (in the year 1998/99 and 1999/2000 respectively).
She now resides in Mumbai, where she is currently pursuing a competitive course (cost and management accountancy). She has always been a bright student and has her head firmly on her shoulders.
She is bubbly and fun-loving. Her best feature is her smile. Having known her since we were six years old, I can safely vouch for the fact that once she makes friends, they are usually her friends for life. She is an eternal optimist.
A typical Scorpio (born on the twelfth day of the month of November), Purvi possesses all the traits of people born under that sign of the zodiac. She is determined, emotional, forceful, intuitive, passionate, powerful and magnetic.
Here's hoping we continue to stay in touch and wisihng her all the very best of luck and a great deal of success in all her future endeavours.

PEARL D'SOUZA
PEARL D'SOUZA
The eighth post on this blog is dedicated to Ms. Pearl Judith D'Souza, affectionately known to her friends as Pearly. She is literally a gem of a person. My friendship with her dates back to the second and third grades at Indian School Muscat, Oman in the academic years 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively.
Born on the thirteenth day of October (the same day as yours truly), she is a true-blue Libran. In fact, it took me almost seventeen years to get back in touch with her and even longer, perhaps, to find out that we share a birthday. However, it made my 25th birthday an extremely special occasion.
She hails from the city of Udupi in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. She has an extremely positive attitude (no matter what the odds), a warm personality and a charming smile (which is her best feature). Her infectious enthusiasm rubs off on all the people who know her.
A simpleton at heart, Pearl now lives in London, England and is busy with her career as a clinical pharmacist.
Here's wishing Pearly all the very bet of luck and success in all her future endeavours and hoping we keep in touch with each other.

PALLAVI BARAT
PALLAVI BARAT
The seventh post on my blog is dedicated to Ms. Pallavi Barat. She is another person with whom my friendship dates back to almost twenty years. I first met her in the second grade in the academic year 1989/90 at Indian School Muscat, Oman. We were classmates in the third grade in the academic year 1990/91, before the shuffling of our divisions.
This well-travelled lady, who left Oman in the sixth grade, has lived in three of the four ndian metropolitan cities, namely New Delhi (the national capital and the northern metropolis), Mumbai (the capital of the western Indian state of Maharashtra) and Kolkata (the capital of the eastern Indian state of West Bengal).
A fellow Libran, Pallavi was born on the nineteenth day of October, and she possesses all the qualities of a typical Libran, namely she is diplomatic, urbane, romantic, charming, easygoing, sociable, idealistic and peaceable.
With the confidence she exudes and her radiant smile (which, apart from her eyes, is her best feature), she would have been an asset to the hospitality industry (she pursued a course in hotel management), but chose to pursue a course which is as different from hospitality management as chalk is from cheese, namely dispute resolution.
She now lives in the city of Townsville in the Australian state of Queensland. An avid quizzer, she is a fan of actor Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of Bollywood.
Here's wishing Pallavi all the very best of luck and success in all her future endeavours. I certainly do hope to keep in touch with her.

MEGHNA SHARMA
MEGHNA SHARMA
Forgetting a friend's birthday cannot be excused, particularly if the friend in question is someone you've known for nearly two decades. Ms. Meghna Sharma, to whom the sixth post on my blog is dedicated, is one such person whom I forgot to wish on the occasion of her birthday recently. If she is reading this, I apologise because I just couldn't keep track of her birthdate. If she had mentioned it in her Orkut profile, I would have definitely wished her on the special occasion. Sorry for the belated greetings, but here's wishing Meghna a very happy birthday and any happy returns of the day.
My friendship with her dates back to the second and third grades (in the academic years 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively) at Indian School Muscat. Our divisions were shuffled after third grade, but we were reunited as classmates in the eleventh and twelfth grades (in the academic years 1998/99 and 1999/2000 respectively).
She is a quiet, reserved, soft-spoken girl who is always smiling. In fact, her radiant smile is her best feature and indicates that she has an extremely positive attitude at all times.
Her world revolves around her family, her work and a close-knit group of friends. She is mature and level-headed.
She pursued commerce in the eleventh and twelfth grades in school, but opted to pursue a bachelor's degree in hospitality management. With the warmth she exudes and the charming smile that is a vital part of her personality, it is no suprise that she is now a successful professional in the hospitality industry.
Here's wishing Meghna all the very best of luck and hoping she scales great heights in her chosen area of specialisation. I also hope to keep in regular touch with her despite te time constraints and commitments that we both have to fulfil.

JUBIN JOSEPH KURIAN
JUBIN JOSEPH KURIAN
The fifth post on my blog is dedicated to my close friend of nearly two decades, Jubin Joseph Kurian. My friendship with him dates back to the academic year 1989/90, when I joined Indian School Muscat, Oman. We were classmates in the second and third grades (in 1989/90 and 1990/91 respectively). We were shuffled after third grade but Jubin and I found ourselves in the same class in the ninth grade in the academic year 1996/97.
Originally from the city of Kottayam in the southern Indian state of Kerala, he now lives and works in the city of Bangalore, the capital of the southern Indian state of Karnataka.
He chose to pursue humanities in the eleventh and twelfth grades at Indian School Muscat. After completing his twelfth grade in 2000, he returned to India to complete his bachelors' and masters' degrees, specialising in psychology. He is a now a successful counsellor in Bangalore.
His smile is his best feature. Like me, he is also a Libran (which probably explains why we get along so well). He was born on the fourth day of the month of October. Like most people born under the zodiac sign represented by the scales, he is diplomatic, urbane, romantic, charming, easygoing, sociable, idealistic and peaceable.
Jubin's world revolves around his family, work and a close-knit group of friends. He is reserved, keeps his cool at all times and is extremely level-headed and mature.
Trustworthy, hardworking, caring, confident and warm are some other adjectives one would associate with Jubin. I am sure these qualities hold him in good stead both in his personal and professional life. He is a gem of a guy.
I hope our friendship continues to grow and would love to keep in regular touch with him.
