GET-TOGETHER WITH FRIENDZ

         

              Have you ever missed your friends? Hope everyone would have. We keep shifting from places. They cannot be with us every time but their memories can. My school days were the most exciting of my life. This blog is about the get-together we had recently. We organize get-together at least once in a year and will spend a day with our beloveds. I got texts from my friends about the get-together. They asked me to be at sharp 10 in the morning.  The location was Bedford which was near my home. I got up at 8 and reached there by 9.45. I waited there patiently and I texted my best friend” Where are you?” She told that she almost reached the place and will be there in few minutes. At 10, I could see a familiar face walking by, I recognized it was geethanjali my best friend. She greeted me with a smile and she asked about me and the college. I replied her and we were chatting for some time. We waited for the others to come. She told that Parghat will come a little later. Parghat is from Ooty so naturally it will take a hell of a time to cross those bends and reach Coonoor. I enquired about my best pal Julia and geetha told me that she is on the way.

 After sometime two of my friends came. One was Julia and the other was lokeshwari. They shook hands with me. We four decided to walk some distance because the place was a bit crowded .I asked them about the plans they had for the day. The clock ticked 10.30. Parghat came at last and joined us. We 5 went to suicide point (To end our lives….lolz). That was our favourite place. The hot spots for get-together were my school and the suicide point. The suicide point was accompanied by a cemetery. It was a good place for taking pictures. We started to the place. It was a big walk. We went in rows me, geetha and Julia together with Parghat and loks behind or we shifted randomly. On the way my friends spoke about their experiences and I shared mine with them. We reached Cemetery. The place was abandoned and the gates were locked. I wondered how we could get in. Geetha went by the side and she climbed up the wall and jumped in. She was one heck of a girl. Her pet name was monkey because she involves herself in activities like this. She called us in. The other girls were not interested to get in. They found it difficult to climb up and waited outside. Geetha called us in. We went inside and she took us to a grave and she took a coin from her purse and kept it in the grave. She asked me and Parghat to touch the coin. We three pressed our hands against it. She yelled “Come out David!!! We are waiting for you (Is she nuts???). I wondered who the f **k was David. Parghat pointed his hands somewhere and I looked keenly and saw a name board (IN THE LOVING MEMORY OF DAVID).Are you nuts??? I asked geetha. She told that she could easily make the coin move by calling the person’s soul. She tried times but the coin didn’t move a bit. She moved the coin by herself and pretended that it moved by itself (Enna koduma sir ithu!!!).

          Loks and juls shouted from the outside. We couldn’t hear the voices and we got a call suddenly. Loks in a disturbed voice said” Runaway you fools!!!”.The call ended and we ran to the end and got out by another way. We walked through tea plants and finally found them. They were laughing to glory and we were fooled by them. We finally reached the suicide point. It’s a single rock and everybody was afraid. We managed to take pictures there and we traced our path back. By the time we went back to Bedford it was almost half passed two. We were so tired and hungry. We went to a restaurant. Geetha and I ordered chicken fried rice. Everybody ordered their favourite dishes. We bought two large packs of ice creams and asked for five spoons. We ordered blackberry and butterscotch. We mixed up our spoons in both the packs and within a short time the whole place was a total mess. We left the restaurant and reached Bedford again… We shook hands and departed. Geeth accompanied me as we have to go by the same path. After a while the road diverged and showed two paths. She said bye and walked towards her home. It was a pleasant experience. It’s a chance to meet our friends and share many wonderful experiences with them. I miss them. Love you guys!!!
