Freaky Friday with freaky friends

Doesn’t it happen in our life that we get in touch with some person, with due course of time we get to know each other so well that we even go to the extent of saying that this person is my alter-ego and when they leave your place for further studies or for job, you just cant help but to see them off helplessly and miss them like hell, every now and then. you think like ‘ how I wish ,he/she were here; how I wish I could pour out my heart right here ,how I wish ,telecom people just exempt us of their lengthy bills for the sake of our long lasting ,strong friendship’ and all those senti sentimentals .

AM is a friend who I miss like anything. We had so many funny moments that it’s just simply refreshing whenever we recall them, sitting infront of each other and laughing out loud. Of course I do have a lot of very good friends in college and they equally matter to me but she and just a couple of more including kapoor are the ones who I can be the most myself with. In college it’s a general consensus ki if anuz mouth opens to say anything, others mouth will open to laugh out.Kapoor who is aware of my non-popular face too shares the same opinion. It will be an ‘event’ for them if they see me in some other mode than what they have been seeing for more than one and half years. AM is the friend who I can be whatever I wish to be with. It doesn’t surprise her if I talk upon some serious stuff. Before I met her, about three and half years ago, I generally would not believe in the influence of the sunsign you belong. After meeting her I began to believe and realized that we scorpions bound to have dual personality .Its just not in our control. After meeting her I developed my reading skills and found how good companions books (Non-academic, you see) can be. After meeting her I realized to what a great extent you can relate with somebody.

It’s been about one year since we met each other before today. When she told me that she is here just till Sunday, I was like why at some point of time we even don’t get time for people who occupy a good room in our heart. Though I had so many things to finish off with, this holiday, but when it comes to meeting some friend after ages, I am the last person who gives anything a damn other than having a get together and know what’s going on in each others personal and professional life. More importantly the personal ones since those superficial things can be best left to those few minutes phone call.

Moreover its my strong belief that when you are in touch with your friend on daily or regular basis you have so many things to share but when this is not the case you keep on thinking where to start telling things and whether to include this or not which no longer matters .But you meet after a long time, and surprisingly even a good number of hours seem so less.Thats exactly what happened when I met AM in Mr Beans .Since we both are crazy for ‘real’ coffee the venue of meeting was obvious. Though I don’t have any issue with Pizza hut or Dominoz or Mc D,but most likely I can be found suggesting CCD,Barista,Mr Beans, Rock or Mocha simply because they give the real taste of coffee. One time I tried coffee in Mc D that too on my B’Day and I must tell it was like Mc D gifted me a Bournvita drink on my Bday.


In fact it doesn’t matter where you are sitting, even gulping down golgappaz standing at the roadside or strolling along the road with friends, biting in a radish or guava that was bought in just 3-5 rs , is so much fun and kind of act that remains intact in memories for eternity.

Well, so more delighting thing was she footed the bill, on the name of treat, she was supposed to give me a couple of months ago when she got her first job, a decent one on that. We shared so many things from anything to everything, things we like to share with only those selected 3-4 close friends. Friends who you can trust at any time and who are always ready to listen whatever you have, with an amazing interest. At the end of those sipping session, eating yummy chocolate truffle and numerous topics, what we were left with the desire of more available time and an incomparable bliss of having a good quality time after a good number of days.

Same I felt when I met one other very very good friend PR right after 7 years just a few days ago. The day PR came here for her passport I took a whole day leave from college. Consequences which followed in BC class for that day were not that stimulating though as her trip was. Having been through a couple of real interviews, converting them all and now being a CSC employee, I asked her my few doubts on my CV and what followed was a real eye-opener. She nearly engulfed me with the potential questions any interviewer might ask. No doubt I was fumbling for words and trying to justify my answers. It didn’t take me much to realize that the sooner I come out of those mungeri-lal-ke-sapne-types sapne the better it is. Quite weird feeling it is so let’s leave it here only.

Most thrilling thing was, during all these years when we were not in touch directly with each other, I suddenly got her call the same after 7 years, that too on my Bday. My other classmate of 10th class, DK too called me up to wish me and I was like having no words to say them thanks. You see, I am kinda girl for whom even a personal sms or phone call from friends matters so much, so just the fact that someone remembered my bday for all those passed years, is apparently a big thing for her. Though it’s totally a different thing that I find myself unable to express the true feelings and rather leg pulling, kidding and ridiculing get the loins share of any talk.


So what’s next, my other close friend kapoor joined us at about the culmination of my meeting with AM and we were not surprised that it got stretched to one extra hour. And believe me it’s so fun and touching to sit together with like minded and same types friends around. Further it was Bday too ,of one of our friends AS ,so kapoor and me went to her hostel with flowers and she was so surprisingly happy to see us as it was a holiday and a couple of our friends in group were out of station so its been decided earlier that typical celebration would happen when they arrive. The laughter series among a few more friends pinku,chotu,shekhu for one good hour in the hostel room was looking like one more type of celebration. The smile, the excitement that one gets at such moment is worth the crucial time you spent to come all the way from your home, just to wish her personally. No matter how damn busy I am, if you have called me up you will surely get the reply call before the end of the day. No matter how damn busy I am, I somehow will manage to help you out on the stuff you have asked for. After all this ‘you’ is the person who I call my friend. I don’t know, if this is the reason why I get so much love and attention from my friends and close relatives. I don’t know if this is the reason why they feel good. But surely, this is the reason I feel good. Just that, I feel good because they feel good. And I don’t hesitate, going out of my way to help them out and stand by them whenever they need. Thanks to my papa, I inherited it from. Guess this is what makes us sensible humans. Guess this is what justifies our reason of being worthy of solid friendships and relationships not the hollow ones.

All in all a great day I had. So many times like this one, I thank god ki I got to meet so great and nice individuals. A few friends who matters to me a lot and I hope vice-versa too holds true.

By the way, I hope you people read it this post in a quite right sense. No L factor is attached, mind you. I am very OK. Just thinking – kya jamana aa gaya, you are required to explain things that you are not expected to, you just don’t need to, at all. Still….:p
