We are four friends, who have been together for the last 15 years.

We met in 2001, during the time we took admission for an MBA course in Pune.

We completed our MBA in marketing in 2003.

Till date, we are all close to each other.

We have faced ups and downs together. But we knew that our team members will be there to help us out.

Whenever I have faced a problem, Sandeep, Vinod and Sandip would pull me out of it.

We may not speak to each other regularly, but we ensure to keep track of what's happening in each other's lives.

Even our family members are aware of our friendship. If we are together, they will not ask what time we will be returning home.

We thank our family members for understanding our friendship.

We all are settled in our lives. Sandeep Jadhav is the youngest and the most successful. He has his own business and is MD of the company.

Vinod lives in New Zealand while Sandip works with Fiat India and I work in Pune. 

We pray to the Almighty to let us be good friends for our entire life.

Thank you to Sandeep, Sandip and Vinod for being my friends.

Celebrate Friendship Day with us. Post your crazy, fun friendship photos on Rediff Zarabol #Selfie-With-Friends!
