This is what our groups name is on what”s app an amazing tool to be in touch with any one and every one around the globe.
The other day i met my friends nearly after 7-8 years,we picked up from where we had left.
There was so much to talk and it seems now that we still feel there’s so much more.
Its never ending for girls i think.
It’s nearly 25 years since we first met and got close together,all teenagers from different parts of Mumbai, a bit confused,a bit confident and so very carefree.
Our life was our canteen and the LCR(ladies common room) where we all shared our secrets,did lots of gossip,talked about latest fashion,films over steaming hot glass of coffee and samosas from the canteen.
I remember we used to get them served in the Lcr paying a good 2 rupee tip to the canteen boy.
Bunking lectures together to curiously checking out other girls dresses in college is what we enjoyed the most.
There was no worry about anything except, how to get through the exams– basically pass,that too when the exams were round the corner.Life has changed for us in many ways .From teenagers we are now wives,daughter in laws,mothers and soon tobe mom in laws.Today in our 40s life seems so different, but one thing that has not changed and will never, is our equation ,our bond of friendship which has no requirements of what, who and where you are? we are all friends because we like each other and nothing else matters.I remember once my mom had said “you make friends only at a particular age”
Yeah she was right.I mean though we do make friends in our life’s journey in different points and stages,the friends we make in those growing up years of our life are real,because that is the friendship which is created just by liking you as a person not taking other factors into consideration.
It’s said a person is lucky if he has a friend -Here i am one of them and feel blessed that i have many with whom i can share my joy,sorrow,desperation,fear and many such feelings.
Today when i think 25 years ahead,i am sure that even then not much would have changed except the fact that we all would be the same funloving, coloured haired,smart women the only difference here would be, we would have graduated to grand moms and talking with passion about our adorable grand kids.That’s why we are friends and will always be forever.
