A year ago, if somebody had asked me, I would have said I have a sister — but I guess I can now claim I have a sister and a brother. I'm so glad we had that honest chat this year and worked towards such a wonderful bond.

You've been the guy I’ve loved to hang out with — you’re sweet, gentle, and of course, also one of the most talented and hardworking people I know. I may joke about it, but you truly inspire me to have the best work ethic. It's been an absolute joy — whether it's chatting about cricket, placements, or everything under the sun. You're terrible with punctuality and have made me wait at the metro (and even forget sometimes that I'm waiting!). But one thing you're not bad at is being a great friend. I hope we spend much more time together, share many more amazing memories, and continue being the rip-off version of Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain.
