This was written by me (Ashutosh) after the (in)famous dinner at Trehaans..
I was upset but equally amused by the conversation ran between the two most powerful ladies in my life. Armaan suggested me to keep a firm line between these two. Let me see, what these two mean to me.
Mallika
If I have to give a female name to my self, no doubt it is Mallika. Yes, obviously she is my best friend and often I forget that we belong to different genders.
She is so close to me...that I can guess what must be her take on things when we have a complicated case in front of us. I know it is the same with her..she knows exactly what could be my next step. We think 100% alike and We never had differences of opinions in the past twelve years. She knows me in and out.. my traits..my fears..my best interests and what is good to me.
We enjoyed similar interests with similar enthusiasm and equally hated the dislikes. If I had anybody in my life, with whom I could share anything of importance to me, its her. Surprisingly, she is not a sibling to me..but there are all the similarities between us that siblings have. May be this is the reason why, I cannot stay out without informing everything to her.
I knew, Mallika wanted to marry me and I ask why and how is it possible...Both of us know each other very well ..the strengths and weaknesses..both of us know, the marriage proposal it self between us is ridiculous..we can be good friends but not partners in the marriage. Obviously, we both know, that we must look for the qualities that complete us in our partners. I cannot hurt her, but I cannot marry her either.

Nidhi

The very name itself surrounds me like a pleasant perfume..brings a smile on to my face.. Nidhi is such a character, that, one has to love her..you cant do anything else..They say, different poles attract..I dont know how much it is correct..because, she is neither completely different from me nor similar to me.
She has firm opinions about things like me..and doesnt go away, unless she gets it... her opinion about not belonging to medical profession...amazed me equally ..as with her academic and practical brilliance ..I prefer more the conventional text book practices...I think before act...and she acts before thinking..she believes the practical approaches to this profession..which I could never thought of...I am more like Rahul Dravid and she is Dhoni..her level of positive confidence dazzles me..she is a sweet winner always..
Nidhi's nature is a complete sea change from me...but the phrase they call 'Ardh nareeshwar' aptly suits both of us. She completes me. She is everything, whatever I am lacking. I simply dont have any idea about anything what she does next. I am totally totally bowled by her. She is the colour of my life and I want her always with me!
