F.R.I.E.N.D.S F.O.R.E.V.E.R ..
I remember my first day at school ,I was 4 then. I wasnt a cry baby.. but as my mom n dad dropped me n I saw them leaving.. I remember I was in tears .. crying out loud.. and there stood Carmel Convent.. one of the biggest schools of my city.. welcoming me with open arms.. sister took me to her office and gave me some sweets to eat.. but tht didnt stop me from crying .. then I was given an identity card.. stapled with my handkerchief to my bottle green tunic.. :) that cudnt have stopped Me from cryin either.. :| .. then some nun took me to the class. Now .. I was given some other section .. but as she left me in front of the class n left.. I began to run with all my might towards the end of the long corridor thinking id see my parents.. but my loud cry was audible to the class teacher of K-1/B and she called me in.. and made me sit next to the most beautiful and the most adorable girl I have ever known :) Mridu :) well she cudnt stop me from cryin either.. I dun remember what happened after that.. but all I know.. is that we started to talk.. and then u know how I get indulged in it :D ..
we had many things in common .. and many nt so common.. after all how can u compare a dainty thing and an savage from texas :D .. I was amongst the most talkative and most naught fellow of the class.. and she was just the opposite. Id play on the slide and keep falling and hurting myself. And shed be some where on the the swing or seesaw some where playing some role play kinda game :) ;) :D.. she was cute and sweet and I was tomboyish.. ugly Id cal my self.. :D .. thanks to 4 brothers and just 1 sis (joint family u see) .. :) but more than that .. we had some things in common that not all best friends have .. we shared same birth day :) we were almost neighbours .. we were always put in the same section.. our bua ji were also friends. She was also semi lucknowite .. we were together at school and many a times even after that. Both typical taurens :) so pat-ti bahut hai :) .. my mom made spicy food. Which she cudnt eat, and I liked her lunch .. so her mom wud cook for me as well :) lolz.. that explains y I was soo chubby during my school days.. I remember those those hours in the ground .. sitting and talking during lunch time and free periods :) .. and then we both learnt karate together at school.. hey did u all know? Im karate senior brown belt :D.. just 1 belt behind black :D. so u see we have spent 14 years of our lives together ..both good and bad. There was one time when she broke her hand. And I carried her bag for her, I wrote notes for her. I cant even count how many birthdays we have celebrated together..the problem was if we celebrated bdays at our own palces then we both wud miss each others bdays.. so either we celebrated it together or i'd celebrate it in the afternoon and she in the evening :) ..
Then 9th standard we wre shuffled and we got into different sections .. but there I made friends with some really naughty girls. And the next year was 10th .. so literally our 9thCs notorious fellows were shuffled again so that we wud perform well in 10th standard and I was sent to 10thB.. bak with mridu .. and then came snigdha and garima.. new admissions and we four were the bestum best frnz :) .. and then 11th .. I took PCM & Computer Science .. and Mridu took Commerce & computer science.. so we still had 2-3 lectures together.. :) thank u God for that mercy .. and then me and snigdha left school in 12th .. thats a long story again.. but u were still in touch.. hamesha.. like we never parted at all :)
i remember after 12th standard.. I was planning to join DAVV and she was goin to pune for her Bcom .. and I was too lazy to buy that autograph diary .. and get it signed from my frnz.. I got her autograph first.. what shocked me was.. out of the 100s of autograph diaries at archies.. she and me had bought the same kinda piece.. exactly same ditto :D.. and I dun remember how many times such a thing has happened :) .. same to same thing.. like twins .. :)
well she didnt leave for pune .. and I didnt leave for DAVV .. thankx dads.. both her and mine :| newayz.. so we wre still in touch .. a few days bak.. I was @ her place. And i opened some diary .. it had a cutie Mickey mouse and fido dido book mark and some stickers made by some kid.. with crayons and pencil.. I being so interested in drawing and painting .. was havin a look at it and smiling and making faces.. and she came in.. and when she saw me and my dazed face .. she was like.. tujhe ye kaha se mila.. I said .. yahi pada hua thaa.. and I asked her .. ye tumne banaya hai? And what came next amazed me.. she said pagal hai kyaa? Ye tune banaya thaa.. mujhe tu kitni saare cartoons bana ke deti thii ..hool gai kyaa? (yess i had forgotten that thing or rather thing's') n was like almost in tears .. is it? Sach me? I made this.. and u still have it with u.. u have kept me and my stupid innocent gifts like treasure.. :)
and after almost 18 years of togetherness.. comes the parting .. mridu left for her higher studies.. banglore.. alliance .. and .. believe me.. im sucha freak.. It didnt click me that when ill meet her today.. ill meet her .. may b for the last time.. I mean.. I dunno where ill end up.. and when will I meet her next.. I was so occupied in my own world and my own life that past 3 days .. even though I had been calling her.. talking to her.. but it never clicked me that after this parting.. our lives will be full of uncertainties.. I had to meet her @ 5pm. But me.. im suchaa freak.. I reached her place @ 5:35pm.. u see now even that 35 mins late thing is killing me.. earlier I made her wait for hours.. n then for some reason I had to go bak home.. then I came bak at 6:45pm.. and those last 45 mins with her.. frankly speaking.. I still cant breathe easy.. feeling suffocated.. she is gone.. while coming back from her place.. I realized that in that uneasy state of mind.. I forgot that I took my digi with me.. and called her while I was half way home.. told her that ill miss her soo much .. and that I wanted to come back to her place and click a few pics.. and cud she say no.. even though she had to leave in 15mins.. .. the traffic was sick.. but managed to reach her place in 10 mins.. and took some pics.. Wanted to cry out loud.. but didnt..
ill miss u mridu.. :(( :(( :((
all my old frnz gone.. anu gone.. snigdha gone.. mridu gone.. what will I do now?? Im all alone :(( ill miss u sweety,.. Plz ill make the blog for u.. ill decorate it.. ill do all that I can.. but I want u to update it.. I want u to write about what all u did.. what all went on.. everything.. I want it to be like ur diary.. so that no matter what happens I ccan still hear u .. the way I heard .. when we talked endlessly on phone..
I havent seen a friendship as pure as urs.. I swear to god on that.. n ill miss u .. :((
i cant be mean.. i want to see u fly like a bird.. progress with leaps and bounds .. may God bless u with all the good and wondreful thing that u deserve :) ..
i dunno where ill be after 1 year.. HCL Tech or some good college for management.. but where ever ill be.. one thing is for sure.. this one year without u my frnd will be hard to spend.. even though we didnt meet much ..but we were in contact thru phone.. and its was like i knew that i have mridu some where in the city .. in my reach.. whome i can count on .. ne time.. at any hour.. all i know is.. ill be missin u .. ur one person who has given me love and unconditional support and friendship.. in return to wht i gave.. how offen do u find sucha frnd.. who gives u more than u give him/her. i wonder if ill ever find sucha frnd.. who'd care for me so much.. :|
:( this 1 year will me hard to spend.. and i have no idea what life holds for me after that :|
but as i always say.. the best thing God has gifted us with .. is the the ablility to move on.. no matter how much we want to cling to our past.. no matter how much we try to stay with our memories .. life goes on.. sun still rises in the east and sets in the west.. earth still rotates around the sun.. and ppl still come and leave.. insaan koshish kare ya naa kare.. come what may.. no matter how adverse the situations n difficult life gets.. "aadat padh hi jati hai" insaan "aadat bana leta hai" .. and he gets up and moves on.. broken hearted.. or without heart .. :|
with ur name etched deep..
a sweet special place..
where my memories i keep..
i lock it up tightly..
at the end of each day..
i hold then securly..
and put them away..
each morning im awaken..
to open it once more..
i find them secure..
with palce for still more..
if i love to one hundred..
each day may i find..
atleast one new memory..
and none left behind..
ill miss u :(
:((
urs .. forever..
