Sneha Nanavati

While reading her name she sounds Indian, and if you’re an Indian you’ll say she’s from Gujrat. Well, both of these things are true; but once you meet Sneha Nanavati or at least even glance at her you will notice that she talks. A lot. You rarely see her mouth closed, its always opening and closing. I’ve got the most experience with that gal, you see, I sat with her for twelve entire months back in 8^th grade. Though I never complained about it most people asked me how I could even stand it. I replied I enjoyed it. I was truthful, because I miss her blabbering mouth now more than ever.

Our History:

Her 12^th birthday was my first day at school. Its not so amazing that that day is so vividly burned into my memory. There was a special assembly for two hours in the scorching heat of July. Gosh, the horror! The western music people were singing that stupid song (no offence) called, “Jesus you're my superhero, You're my star, my best friend!” With there smiley faces and doing there silly dancing actions. It was dreadful,  though I do remember one face that kept appearing through out the assembly, she had an orange shirt on with brown capri’s. Surprisingly back in class I saw the same face again and again. The teachers kept asking her to read and she kept answering their questions. I thought it might've been a birthday treat or something but later on as the days passed I realized she was someone special, a favorite of all teachers even if it wasn’t her birthday.

Sneha Nanavati,we have no photos together,
which is really sad :( 

Dude, dude, dude. Constant body movement and hand throwing. Not to forget the Yo’s ,Jackie Chan and Lionel Messi. If you ever see a girl like this you’ll know its Nanavati. I got to know her the best when I sat next to her in 8^th grade. We talked about songs (she was in Western Music like Meetakshi Behal), I made her read novels, and guess what she just completed the entire Harry Potter Series just last week! If I weren’t so lazy, I could have written a whole blog about her when we were back in 8^th grade, she is all knowing. But I hope to summerzie her from this post it self and I do hope it will suffice!

Being in 9^th, as I have written in previous posts, the teachers split us apart leaving me all alone. The most lonely bit was not sitting next to her, I really missed the way she chattered all the time. It was fun sitting next to her in geography periods because I knew the teacher would never ask me a question as long as Sneha was around. In English she was the only one in class who put up her hand to read and in Social Studies she quarreled with the teacher about feminine inequalities faced by Indian women during the 18^th century.  I missed that a lot there was no one in my new class who had enough potential surpassing that of 48 students.

In the beginning of 10^th she left the school. Oh, the Irony! She wasn’t supposed to be the one who was supposed to leave, in fact I haven’t even left yet! But then the inevitable sudden transfer made  the circumstances unfavorable in her case. Her dad changed his job and got transferred to Hyderabad. She left in the second week of 10^th grade, leaving us all surprised and unfortunately alone.

  

Top 5 reasons why I miss you:

5. I miss your debating, I love the act that even if you don’t know much about the topic, you keep on expanding your small little points and talk so much about it that the other people grow silent and believe what you say.

4. You’re exploding with questions. There isn’t a peaceful moment in which there is no question for me. You annoy the teachers with your questions and with out knowing leave us with no studying at all. Thank you.

3. You’re like a ball oozing with energy. Hyper? Yes, a lot. There are only once in a blue moon opportunities to see you sad, lazy or even in a mood.

2. You try your hand at every single thing or at least try to learn it. Books, Football, Painting, Dancing, Singing, Debating, Elocution, Poetry, Doge ball (ahem!) god knows what else you can do!

1.  You’ve been there for me all these years, I wish I could be there for you now.
