The Wooplr “Besties” series is brought to you in celebration of Friendship Day 2014.

Prarthana Prakash is a marketing communications professional in an IT firm. She loves theater, has a passion for all things art and is a big animal lover. She’s got two lovely dogs - a dachshund and a cocker spaniel.
How long have you two been friends?
Prarthana: Since MBA. That was June 2009.
Agratha: It’s been 5 years!
How did you both meet? When did you both hit it off?
Agratha: It was in college, while pursuing our MBA. I was excited as she was the only other Arts student in my class full of engineers.
Prarthana: Agratha came and spoke to me for the first time, when I walked into class. She thought I was weird! It took us a while to hit it off, maybe a couple of weeks.
Have you both ever been after the same guy?
Agratha: HAHAHAHAHAHA! NO.
Our tastes in men don’t match. At all.Prarthana: She’s right. We don’t like each other’s taste in men.
What’s the most ridiculous thing you two have done together?
Prarthana: Goa trip two years ago. Agratha was passed out and I slept through the noise and shenanigans. It’s a funny memory that has a lot of mystery till this day- because we still DO NOT know what happened that night - so it sounds like the most ridiculous thing we have ever done.
Agratha: Yup, but that was 4 years back. On that fated night in Goa, after tons of alcohol, we did some unusually ridiculous things that are best not shared on a public platform.
And NO, that’s not what you think happened.
Where do you both like to hangout together? What’s your favourite eatery?
Agratha:BOCA GRANDE! We used to practice our Dumb Charades there quite often and LOVED their Fried Golden Munches (yummy fried potato balls with cheese)
Prarthana: Yup, it was our favourite college hangout where we have literally spent every afternoon together. Ordering up Iced Tea with those Fried Golden Munches Agratha mentioned. We discovered it together and went into paroxysm of delight after the first bite
Describe each other in one word
Prarthana: Sexy
Agratha: Zany
If you two could go anywhere in the world together, where would it be and why?
Prarthana: Las Vegas. Because I really want to go there with her. She will know why when she reads this.
Agratha: I’ll say Amsterdam. We’d walk down the streets together, check out museums, appreciate art, visit the coffee shops and try some interesting brownies.
What’s your bestie’s favourite word / line?
Prarthana: You Bum!
Agratha: You Donkey.
…and I do love saying ‘Bum’ a lot!
What’s Agratha’s favourite colour?
Prarthana: Purple
Agratha: Yup, I love purple. Violet. Mauve. Well, they’re all from the same family. Prarthana loves Burgundy. And Reds.
What’s your favourite dish? One answers for the other.
Prarthana: Chicken Biryani.
Agratha: She’s right! I LOVE Chicken Biryani! I would readily sell my soul for a good Biryani.
Prarthana: She used to get it everyday in college.
Agratha: Not everyday! I hate sharing Biryani though.
Prarthana: …er, I guess you need to give an answer too, for me!
Agratha: Ah yes… Pratty loves her mum’s green gram curry. She used to bring it to college quite often and loves it.
Prarthana: My favorite is home made food. So anything at home and yes the green gram curry too!
What’s Agratha’s Bollywood song?
Prarthana: Sheila Ki Jawaani
Agratha: I love Sheila ki Jawani. It’s my ultimate go-to Bollywood dance track.
