London: 21 OCT 2026: 3 AM


My heavy stout tasted like liquid dynamic; his crisp blonde was classic Jitin. We have been best friends for 15 years, and tonight proved exactly why.


Over clinking glasses, the conversation just flowed seamlessly, melting away all my work stress. The banter was top-tier. We talked past closing, entirely losing track of time until the bartender started flipping chairs onto tables right around us.


When Jitin looked at the upside-down stools, grinned, and said he still had stories left to tell, we just laughed.


I’m home now. Pure exhaustion, great beer, and the absolute best company. Next Friday is already set.


What would life be without my bestest friend?


~ Mishti

Mishti was stuck at home, with a bad cold and fever. The sudden change in temperature had completely outsmarted her. And playing in the early London snow had proved to be a huge mistake. She was alone, since her dad and sister were visiting relatives in Scotland, and honestly, it was such a pain to take care of herself on her own.


But she had forgotten that she had Kabir, who had already purchased a bunch of medicines, ready-to-eat meals and made his own special chicken soup recipe for her. He braved the snow, parked his car outside her building and rang the doorbell. Mishti came to the door, coughing, and Kabir immediately flung his warm jacket around her.


When they were finally seated in the drawing room, he handed her everything he had brought, explained the medicine dosages, and made her a chart on the ready-to-eat packages. Then he finally brought out the cauldron of chicken soup, reheated it, and fed her tenderly with his hands. At that moment, Mishti knew, he loved her.

Trying to match Mishti's craving for dangerously spicy pani puri, Jitin took a bite—and instantly regretted it. As tears welled in his eyes, she handed him a sweet panipuri. "You need balance," she murmured.

He looked up, grinning through the heat. "Or maybe I just need you?"
