Happy Moment
I felt very happy today. I got in touch with one of my very old friend today. Last time I spoke to him was in 1996 and today after 10 years I spoke to him. I have been hunting for him for the past two days.
Actually the whole thing started about 2 days back when I dreamt of him and I felt a prick of guilt not contacting him for these many days . Then I googled on chennai BSNL and queried on his fathers name and all that were wrong numbers. I felt very sad and again yesterday when I was sleeping it suddenly struck to me that I was using a wrong name for his father and today when I used the correct name, I got his landline number. After much hesitation , I called his number and his mother spoke first and then his father gave me his mobile number.
After thinking for a long time , I spoke to him and he hadn't changed a bit ..... was laughing for every sentence . He is happily married ,his wife's name is Jerima and daughters' name is Mariam.
Talking to him , brought old memories...... how we used to like each other so much...... I am happy for him ........ I think I should have known him from around 9th grade and I think he was doing his UG Ist Year . I first noticed him because of his unique watch and perfume. The watch used to be bigger than his wrist and transparent and one could see all the parts of the watch . Even if the bus was crowded and even if one couldn't see him board the bus , his perfume smell would be so strong that anybody would know that he has boarded the bus.
Those days , there was trend when each gang has its own timing for the bus and they would usually be spotted on that bus number and that time . I was no exception to this, and he used be in the same bus. And thus we became friends.
And today , when I am writing this I am thinking of all those days and it brings nice feeling in me..
And the most surprising thing is , today is his B'day . I wish him a Many More Happy Returns of the Day. May be it was destined , that I should locate him and wish him today.
Good Memories don't die very soon.
