Before I start, let me tell you the reason of writing this blog. This blog is penned because of two reasons; first, FRIENDS are everything for me, without them I cannot imagine my life. Second, I am a very emotional guy (might sound surprising for lot of people) who remember & cherish all his good & bad (as well) memories.
So, coming back to the point, long time back somewhere around in 1993-94, we had a group of 4-5 school friends. This was the time when I was very “Seedha Saadha” type & was not such a big chatter box that I am today. We people enjoy each & every moment of school life. Except me all my group mates were legendary chatter boxes. As everybody’s school days, ours were also unforgettable. Life was complete fun. Then in 1995 one of our group-mate left the school. She not only left the school but also our city. Her family moved to Delhi. After that I lost touch with her. And as life doesn’t wait for anyone, it just moves on…………….
“Ye zindagi bahut lambi hai or hamare pass waqt bahut kam, isliye hum fir milenge” sounds impractical but I think that’s true because one fine day after a long gap of 14 years I found her on Internet (social networking site Thanks to ORKUT). I thought she might have forgotten me but to give it a try I scrapped her & to my surprise she replied in a fraction of second. That day we chatted for 2-3 hrs. We exchanged our contact numbers. After that we used to chat regularly. Then one fine day I thought of giving a call to her, in spite of in touch for long time now, I was in dilemma whether to call her or not. So, I messaged her “Can I call you” & on reading this she burst out in laughter, replied “Yes you can”. And in this conversation her sharp memory has really shocked me. She remembers all the bits & bytes of our school days. She remembers all our discussions, incidents etc. She even remembers the names of all our classmates, teachers (even I don’t remember). She refreshed my memory of those school days. She remembers all the things & if I was unable to recall any of them then she tried her level best in helping me to figure out incident. HATS OFF to her sharp memory.
But the best part was whenever I ask her to meet; she used to do “Talam-Toli”. We tried to meet once, but somehow it doesn't worked out and then we decided to meet after 15 days. She agreed to meet on a cup of coffee. We met after 14 years but I recognized her in a fraction of second. I had never even in my wildest dreams thought we will be meeting again She was just the same. We were so casual that no one can even think that we people are meeting after so many years. And as usual both the chatter boxes were opened. I am also a chatter box but she has done MASTERS in it. She is a legendary chatter box who can chat non-stop. All you have to do is just listen to her. But there is one thing that differentiates her from other girls and that is “her love for food”. She & dieting are like two sides of coin. That meeting was one of the most unforgettable ones of my life.
All the above mentioned things are just a glimpse of her. If I write all the things then it will take years. Well it was really good to regain a very old & close friend.
