You have been more loyal to me than any man has ever been! Moreover, you have always been there for me come what may. You have been my best friend, there to console me in all my bad times and not to forget your presence on all happy occasions. You are literally acquainted with all my highs and lows.
Our rendezvous every Saturday may have started late, but our friendship was forged since I was a little kid. And Lisa Whelchel has quoted it quite aptly, "There's something about childhood friends that you just can't replace." We were introduced to each other by my parents, and they have bribed me with you every time I threw a tantrum to eat food.
Our tryst forged when I was presumably in 6th grade. You were my Saturday Buddy, aided me to forget the difficult times I was facing with my Dadu being unwell, understanding my long silences, reading it all without me saying a word. These were the times when most of my buddies did not even ask me how I was doing, but you were there.
I have also seen you through all your transitions, through all your different shapes and sizes, from cups to cones and; from chocolate to strawberry, and even bubblegum. I have loved you through it all no matter what, just like you have.
But in my heart, I have the largest piece dedicated to "AMUL" CORNETTO CHOCOLATE. I valued you at Rs. 20 and still do at ?30. Your crisp exterior with the chocolate ice-cream inside to die for reminds me to remain strong and fearless but with the gentlest heart at bay. And that last bit of chocolate surprise at the end prompts me to be ready for any curve ball thrown at me because the outcome would be enriching.
If I were to ever become a politician, my campaign would be run on the slogan - 'YOU SCREAM, I SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM ICE-CREAM'. Ice-cream - you have stolen my heart like no man ever has, ever will...
