FRIENDS...

Hello Friends here I am with my first Blog “FRIENDS”. This is first time I am writing something and publishing. I am inspired with my friend “Harshal” who has been with me since five years. He had already started writing and  told me that you could also write something. Whenever he has any problem he directly comes to me and consults the same.  Recently I celebrated my birthday and I really missed my college friends who were there to wish me at midnight and celebrate the day. Actually I do not belong to the family where birthdays are celebrated with full on, so my friends had started my birthday bash. Those were the days when I was not so serious about  life, future and career.  I used to enjoy with friends most of the time and spent very little time with family. Here I am sharing my part of life spent with friends.

Those were the days when I had passed SSC and got an admission to the Junior College. I was not happy at that moment since my best friend had got admitted to another college. My being out of station missed me getting an admission where my best friend got.  Finally I got admitted to 11th Arts faculty in "Mahajan College". First few days went out making new friends. After a month it was a group founded by us, its called as "PARAS". This is how PARAS formed, (P) Pritesh, (A) Achiket, (R) Rakesh, (A) Arun and (S) obviously me $arvesh.

The days were wonderful, after 3 to 4 months we had become good friends. In the next two years of Junior College  we had bunked most of the English lectures. Every day after the recess we would be on the play ground for playing cricket, for this we had made a separate timetable. Five of us as well as other classmates would play cricket everyday. During those days Achiket had nick named me "Jack Kallis".

I remember one incident related to cricket, One fine day we were playing as usual but  not at our regular play ground. Arun had been bowling and had injured three of my friends namely, Rakesh, Pritesh and Nitin. The very next year out practice won us  the Cricket Match against Science faculty for which we got certificate.
Our enjoyment was not limited up to Cricket and campus Masti. We had arranged two picnics of junior college. First picnic had been arranged when we were in the 11th and second one when we were in the 12th std. First picnic made us visit Sarankheda, ToranMal and Prakasha Places and the second time it was Saptashrungi Gad, Chankapur Dam and Saputara. We rented out a four wheeler for those picnic along with 8 to 10 friends. Those were memorable days in my life as I had never been to picnic before this. I also visited my home town along with my four friends where we visited Nakane Dam, as well Laling Fort, Dedargaon Dam places and Arun's Farm. We explored all those places on bicycle.

The two year's time of my life period went like 2 minutes. The time which I spent in the junior college was only for Enjoyment and there was no study. I could just pass out with few percentage of marks.
I remember one incident where,we were in 12th and our Test was in process and and we were supposed to appear for Economics  and on the same day our Cricket Match had been fixed so on that day we had left exam hall in a mere 10 minutes, almost everyone from my class.

Inspite of this we could manage to pass out. Rakesh was the Topper in the Arts Faculty. For degree four of us got admission in the S.S.V.P.S College and Rakesh got the admission in Jai Hind College. Jai Hind College is the No.1 College in the Dhule City, where a student with higher marks get admission. S.S.V.P.S College is for all type of students, where I completed my UG and PG in Geography. The important thing is that, I was Third in University as well college in my Post Graduation. I learnt  a number of thing here.
Afterwards we got divided in different branches so our getting together became less often. All of us  were pursuing our education as well as part time jobs so we didn't get the time to share our happy and sad moments. So we had decided that we would meet twice or thrice a month and we followed this thing for a long time. We used to meet in front of Ekvira Devi Temple after 10 pm. The meeting would  continue till 12:30 to 1 am. Due to family restrictions, Achiket got away from those meetings and ultimately from the group. So me along with other three friends would meet and share everything that had happened in last 15 days or a month. In the mean time we would go to movies once in a fortnight. Watching movie would be just an excuse to meet everyone. In Dhule, city movie ticket would be quite cheap for people like us who used to work part time.

One day Arun called me up and gave the bad news that Rakesh had some problem and we had to go his home. (He was leaving his uncles home). When we reached his home everyone was tense and sad. When we asked him what had happened, then his grand mother gave a letter to us. We read it out that letter and we were shocked, it was unbelievable. The letter read “I am leaving the home and I will never come back, I might be coming back in my next life with everything . I am sorry to all of you, don't waste your time and money in searching me.”  That has been the darkest day my life had ever seen. None of us had ever expected that Rakesh would do something horrible like this.... but it was a bitter fact and I am still waiting for him to come back.

In 2005 I moved to Pune University for my PG and further education in “GIS and RS” . For the very first time I left my Sweet Home, it was very painful for me but there is one quote “Khuch pane ke liye khuch khona padta hai.” One year in Pune was also very enjoyable and unforgettable for me. We were 30 students and everyone came from different place. Each one having different quality and I got additional friends.

In this way life is going on and at the same time am getting new friends every day. I am very happy that I got friends like you who are always there with me in each and every situation. I love you all and I will always miss you.
