Friends as I know......
I guess the sheer brilliance of my Sophia's English teacher always makes me use a dictionary whenever I think of a word, topic or a concept. So, as usual looked it up too; and was not so pleasantly surprised to see there are lots of variants of that term too. it is like gregor mendel extended his fruit fly experiment everywhere in this world.
I guess this is now not so much about defining friends/ friendship but to reminisce about only the friends who contributed lots of chunks of their lives into my cauldron of life and who would always be important, even if I ain't in touch with them.
My earliest memory of a friend is of DS, my class 2 friend. though i don't think i knew the meaning of the word friends or even knew if we were friends. All I knew that she would recite her tables with me, sit together in class and in photographs, we would and share coughs and stys. Sanju told me that Dharna was pretty and i was the Chinese lily with poisonous touch. Difficult to avoid and hazardous to be near. Whereas boys liked her, I was always the devil incarnate for them.
Enter MN, the enefren, the guy who distorted my face. Ok that time we weren't friends but die hard competitors for the coveted I position in class. But now he and his wife have become friends.
Moving on to A'nagar; I found lots of ppl in my friendly and not so friendly entourage. I loved that place for the numerous bike rides, cream puffs, burgers, movies and coke. horses were already a passion but this place ensured that passion grew by leaps and bounds. My best memories still smell of Nagar.Jayanti, Sameer, Binu were friends. Amit was not but now he has joined the label of being a friend. Jayanti was one strong dame. During days of those times when I didn't know how to handle a new school, she was a rock, annoying and strong and always there. Didn't even need her, but voila there she was.
