Flashback.....

peep peep peep peep......what's this?
oh stop it man!!
i am busy with ma chicken soup (its a book- collection f short stories...for those who don't know)
i went for my mobile...ohh shitttt....its a reminder.....

Today is 22nd jan...its ma friend Arunima's b'day...(how can i forget......ooopsss)......
she is in Pune now doing her final year medical...
Its been near about 7 years since we met coz when i was in 10th papa got transfered to Ranchi....
and she went to kolkata for her +2 studies...
Life passed on, she opted for medical and i went to bhubaneswar for ma engineering...

Without wasting any time further i called her.....
"Happy B' Day.....dear...." , even on her b' day she was busy with her vivas and all....
these medical students have to go thro' a lotttt...i tell u.....
hospital to hostel room and vice versa......

Point to be noted : They have skeleton in their room (erghhhh it scares me)

Neways......
After our conversation, i was reminded of so many memoirs...i spent my entire childhood with her.....we used to be the bestest of buddies.....

strolling in vasant vihar lanes , cycle racing ,playing baddy, gossiping at its extreme, watching infinite movies at a stretch, calling anonymous people ,chat friends and making full use of PARALLEL connection....discussing crushes......attending parties together in club...playing video games for long long hours......music class (jayanti aunty) , painting class.... and we did so many "nautankis" (drama) together...buying imlis (tamarind) from shops which was strictly prohibited for us...

We used to build idols of maa durga and chant mantras( which we hardly knew) and also went for "visarjan" (courtesy papa who took us to the spot).....then in saraswati puja picking "ber"(zizyphus) from trees and sharing.....

infact we bought our first "salwaar suit" together after such long discussions coz we hate to wear that.....and i remember our "piya piya" dance (rani and preity).... we were in so much awe to get those red t-shirts with "HOT" written on it.....

In this journey of life, we tend to forget so many things which at some point used to be so important to us.....
We expect so many things from our friends that they will call us everyday, they should always be in touch....but here comes the biggest irony......
How much do we think about them???
Its like, i am not gonna call first, let her call.....or may be she is busy.....
or may be she doesn't wanna talk anymore.......what if she also thinks the same???
Its almost the same for majority of people i have come across with.....
So i wanna say for all of them that, life is too short.....from your busy schedule take out some time for your friends.....and there is no harm in initiating a conversation first.......

today i cherish those moments spent wid ma old childhood frenz...and at the same time regret coz i have lost touch with some of dem......

cheers to all ma frenz.......
