Sagar Mantri (Sagar, Topper)

It's just about 7 years since I first met him, but it seems I have known him forever; such is the tuning between us. A genuine person in the truest sense of the word, there is nothing put-on or artificial about him. Though he does tend to give the impression of a bumbling idiot or a mannerless slob sometimes, he does that solely to keep you unawares. He is downright serious when it comes to studies, which explains the fact that he was the 4th ranker at the University level in the final year exams. He's the guy to have around whether you are having a blast at a function or discussing past failures, relationships, and heartaches from 11'o clock in the night to 4'o clock in the morning (yes, we have done that). He will be at home equally in both the situations, and admirably so. Apart from this, he has a great sense of humour and an ability to see the silver lining in every dark cloud, which is undoubtedly a vital asset in life. When you have to play a practical joke on someone, he is the one whom you can trust to come up with something really cool.
Over the years, the tuning between us has got better and better. There are very few things about each other that we don't know. Also, the fact that you can always depend on him to lend a helpful ear, if not some sensible advice makes our companionship even more special.
