Hi,



Am thinking of writing (probably scribbling will be the right word I guess) here for sometime but hasn't been able to.. Today, I received a comment from my friend in a community saying that am his childhood friend :)... So I would like to share it here..



The bugger who wrote the comment is my honorable friend.. Mr.Arun Prasad... He had written our friendship as childhood friendship, I thought may I could give some colors to it.



I don't exactly remember from when I know this guy.. The thing I remember is all that my mom used to say that I can't even pronounce his name properly (may be I'm 1.5 to 2 yrs baby), but wanted to go play with him.



Our friendship started at the age where we both doesn't even know what "Friend" means.. Now, I believe may be the death can separate us.



When I go back my memories, We both used to play in one of our neighbors (vijaya'ka) house, (Only house between mine and his) and we doesn't even know the time running out until my mom gives a call from our kitchen... (Even then she has to come and drag me to the house LOL).. And the day came where we have to join the school. Our parents joined us both in the same school & we were class mates in LKG... And, we did enough to have our parents think "We're never gonna get these guys together again"...





We both continued our schoolings in different places and you know, only that time and the time we sleep could separate us. And again, knowingly or unknowingly, our parents sent us again as class mates in the standard 6th... Oh... No... we should have been quite atleast for an year.. But never we did.. Running out that one year was a big task for our parents and for us it went off in a flash...



Arun's parents took him off the school saying if you get along with this guy, neither you nor him will flourish in the future, better you two be seperated. And.... we never got a chance to be class-mates again. The school is the only place where our parents can separate us (LOL)



OFF-School, we were having a great party time. We used to play a lot of cricket.. And you know, Arun used to be a great batsman and a bowler.. He was our team captain too (That's how I got a place in the team, almost all the games). This guy always had a never-say-die attitude during those time when we played cricket... He used to win matches for our team single-handedly.......



Then came the time for separation..... The situation demanded me to get out of the place I lived and from then there was almost no contact between him and me for 2 years.... When I came back to my hometown, I was so eager to see him and the day we met, I'll never forget.... You know, we both met each other back in cricket ground....



But the life had taken some courage and fighting spirit off him, But he always has a thirst to win. When I came back to my home town, we have been in constant touch and sharing all the things around.... We still enjoyed our friendship, only difference is that we were not playing these days..



Now.... He had taken some distance and had gone to chennai where he is working now.. When he said he is going to chennai to work, I was REALLY happy but a bit worried coz, this guy, to my knowledge hadn't gone out of shell right from his childhood. He is not as freaky as me LOL...

But he has managed himself well with the situation... Hope is having a good outing there in chennai...



To conclude, I should say that our parents, situations and work had tried to separate us in their own time period and our friendship had grown like a banyan tree then... May be I guess, death alone can try separating us, but I hope that too cannot separate us sooooo long..



Arun, my dear...... I love you da... You mean a lot to me & You are more than a friend.
