Long-lost friends

I dont know why exactly I decided to write on this...

During my school days,we had to shift every two years or so coz dad was in a transfer job.Therefore I had met quite a lot of people.I got along with most of them,had lotsa fun with many and made friends with few.All that I would like to write about today are about the friends I had made.There are friends who I'm still in touch with,friends who I just know about and friends who are just lost...

Somehow this whole concept intrigues me a lot...

My kindergarden days were one of the best times of my life.I was good at almost everything and used to be this kid whom everyone loved.I had lots of friends but somehow I dont remember all of them except for one...R.Saravanakumar...He used to be as good as I was and we were really good friends...I used to like him a lot and I still remember the day I had blasted him for getting me caught for something I dint do...I dunno how but somehow even as a kid,I valued friendships quite a lot and I got mad at this guy for doing this to me...It all seems so silly to me now but as a kid,I stopped talking to that guy after this incident...Another friend of mine was Nivitha..She was one year elder to me and she was my neighbor...She was my play-mate and I spent more time with her than I did at home..When we had to shift to some other place,I still remember her sobbing so much..I was fortunate enough to meet her once again in my life,when I was in fifth grade but then...for nivi the memories prevailed but not the bond and for me the bond prevailed but not the memories...

My second grade was at Andhra Pradesh and it was the worst time of my life...I hated the school and my class-mates...Most of them were such difficult and bossy people and it was just so hard...But when I joined the school,I got a friend...Her name was yamini..She spoke tamil and tat was all that was needed to form our bond...I loved being with her and life went amazing with her...But I wasnt really lucky enough coz she had to leave the school..I was so sure my life was goin to be hell again but thats when sravya came along to prove it wrong..My school was like miles away from from my home and so I had to go by auto..She was my auto-mate but unfortunately she was not my class-mate...The auto journey was for 45 min or so and I used to love it so much...Those 45 min to and fro were the only times I spent with her and I looked forward to it every single day...Those 90 min everyday was enough for us to cement our friendship...When I had to shift from AP,I remember her comin to my home...She came along with her mom and gave me a gift...It was a flower vase that sang a tune of "happy birthday" when u touch a certain flower or so...My neighbor's kids had come arnd that time and so I was busy playing with them...Poor gal..She kept waiting for me and finally she left...I never saw her after that...But somehow I kept feelin that the flower vase's tune sounded like it was sung to me..

My fourth grade and fifth grade were once again the best times of my life..We were a group of five gals..Me,Vinupriya,Anitha,Lavanya and Divya...Lavanya and Divya weren really that close and so it was jus me,vinu and anitha...I was like the gang leader and we had so much fun together...I tried staying in touch with Vinupriya even after I left the school...Anitha jus disappeared all of a sudden...I still wonder what happened to her...She stopped coming to school in the last few months of our fifth grade...We kept waiting for her to turn up and finally,I decided I should pay her a visit...I still remember where she stayed...Thayumanavar street,Vellore...There was no one at her house...They had left it seems...I still imagined she'll turn upto school one day but alas,she never did...I still keep wondering what happened to her...Ani shared a very special bond with me and I just couldnt take it when the bond broke up all of a sudden...

Sixth and Seventh grade-Voah,I still call those days as the best days of ma school life...The best!!!Yeah...I had friends everywhere-School,class and in the park near my home...Me and my fren preshmitha...how much we used to fight with the guys,the troubles we used to cause,the oh-so-silly probs we had...Man...We were a group of four gals-Me,Shriveena,Mridula and Preshmitha...The funny part was before I joined the school Preshmi and Veena were like the inseparables,best of friends and they were infact named "Shri-tha"....Once I joined,I dunno how but things took a change and me and preshmi ended up being great friends while Mridula and Veena mingled up...Me and preshmi rocked those days fighting with the Rakesh gang...I still cant forget Ajay,Rohit and Rakesh-Three dare-devils they were...I'm still in touch with Preshmi...Veena,Ajay and Rohit-I do have an idea of what they're upto but Mridula and Rakesh -I last heard about them some two yrs back...I have no idea what they've been doing...

Eighth grade-I was there at this school for just an yr...It did take me quite some tym to get along with people..In all the schools I had studied,guys and gals used to be such good friends...But this was one school where guys and gals hated each other...I barely remember some of the guys there and in the one yr I had studied there,I had never been to the guys' row ever...All my friends were gals and there were quite a many of dem-Suganya,Ambigai,Maria Jeniffer,Preethi,Ramani,Swetha,-Sadly I'm not in touch with any of them now...I did hear from Ambika some tym back but we couldn remain in touch...

Ninth and Tenth grade-New place,New culture,New ppl...Everythin was new...I dint like it...Life seemed like hell to me..It was like as if God was telling me-"Well you enjoyed so much na..Now you start suffering...."Every day was a huge task for me...God wasn that mean too and wel there were few helpful souls arnd-Vruti,Hitakshi,Divya and Madhuri...Vruti left school in ninth grade...It was so hard to bid her goodbye...It more or less seemed like the situation I was in when I was doing my second grade...I tried to move on with life and life did bring some positive changes in the form of the tuts gang-Niyati and her frens...They were in the other section but we all went for the same tuts...I finally started laughin and learnt to enjoy life...I'm still in touch wid Divya and Hitakshi and I pretty much know what others are upto...I'm ever thankful to them....One more person worth mentioning is Niku...Niku was ma onlyn fren...And yeah I knew how great it was to have an onlyn fren after being wid Niku...Friend,Listener,Philosopher,Advisor and everythin-Niku was one in all..I just know what's Niku been upto..but we couldn sustain our bond...

Eleventh and Twelfth grade-Voah,I can write an entire blog on them....But since ma topic is about ma long lost frens,I dont think they come into the picture....I'm pretty mcuh in touch wid all of them...

Well...as I had previously mentioned,I really dunno why I started writing this post...I would love to meet ma old frens sometym...Yeah,I dunno if I wud be able to keep in constant touch with them but I can assure them that I can never ever forget them..And I guess I should let them know that they were indeed the reason for my happiness at sum point in ma lyf..And even if they aren with me now,the very memories with them still keep me happy...I love you all!!!
