He had the book which I had been dying to read and he wanted to renew it. I asked casually, "hey, how's the book?" Full story in caption Our friendship started because of a book. He had the book which I had been dying to read and he wanted to renew it. I asked casually, "hey, how's the book?" Surprised, he looked up and replied "I haven't yet started reading. Been a little busy. That's why I am renewing. Why? Do you need it?" I hesitated a bit and said, "ya, actually I want to read it. Could you tell me when you would be returning it so that I can collect it. There's only one copy of the book in this library." He smiled and said "I am not so desperate to read it immediately. You can take it first and finish it." I couldn't contain my excitement and gave him a broad smile. " Thanks a lot. Are you sure?" "Yes, of course", he replied. That's how our friendship started.
