A get together!

Remember I told you life is a circle. Note to myself- "Sometime take yourself seriously." Yes Life is a circle. What goes around comes around with same shit most of the times, but new asshole perhaps.

So after like 8 years, my forgotten school friends have decided to reunite and re-torture. Being a hindi medium student tilll standard 10, I have a dark past with funny creatures in school. Possibly, nobody would have heard me saying any sweet stories of my school times, becuase I don'd have any. I was being realised in my childhood only that I am going to be 'this' much weird in life and hence, I was given most weirdest friends.

Friends who boycotted me for a year because I had a hair cut; infact a Bob cut; from my waist long hair. Friends who used to play "Boogie Woogie" in lunch and I was always made Naved Jeoffary. Friends who called themselves 'Bhai Behen' while I could see they so badly wanted to kiss. And God knows what!

Anyways, I was horrified to meet them as I dont know what was coming on my way. I took an auto drive and got in this lamest mall in city. I hate that mall. We had to meet in Mcdonalds Ofcourse where-else and guess what everybody else was already there. I deliberately came late to present myself a grand entry like a show stopper. Plus I had so much of revenge pending on each one of them. I just wanted to nail each one, right down there!

So I entered with my new designer bag got from my abroad trip I was waiting somebody asks me from where I bought this, ask me, ask me, ask me. I wore my best fitted denims and a crisp shirt with hair open and fringes on forehead. I wanted to spread a formal vibe around so dint wear anything in ears. I was extremely self involved in me while I said 'Hello' to some friends who mattered least. I spotted my main circle.

Opes! Sara got married?? Shucks! she looks like a behenji. Oh GoD! Don't tell me she has a kid.
Man, is that big structure is Raksha, she used to be hottest of us.
Aradhana is same- silent and lost, hope she is not married!
Harsha has become fat in a weird way, ofcourse I cursed her alot. She was the mastermind behind my boycott!
Sneha looks Ok, but she is still 4 feet, Pity! I remember when we had grand finale of boogie woogie on her terrace in 8th standard. She and her sister made Panipuri for all of us with the money we collected. I saved my 3 weeks pocket money. And fuckers dint even give me consolation prize for my "Yeh Kaali kaali Ankhein" performance and just when i consoled me and sister (that we can eat panipuri and steal some too); sneha and her lizard sister threw all panipuri in air with a shout "Eat now, who so ever catches max gets the water" My sister saved me from committing a murder that day. I wish I could pull her hair and give a undertaker chowk slam on that Mcdonalds table!
Oh so here she is, The 'Meeksha Gupta', sister of married behenji and my hidden rival under the cover of "best friends". Yes we were bestest friends till 10th. I considered her best friend till 8th, after that I got to know why she was so near and dear to me.

She was competeing in every way with me. In fact she had a fight with her mom when she could not grow her hair with a length which I had. She tried hard and beat me in few internal exams but still GoD was with me. I still have my report card where she and me just has 2 marks difference. I somehow won everytime becuase I was never competing. I was actually looking a friend in her and the moment i realised she is just there to compete. I ditched her in my heart.

Today she looks good and I can see, she is mature of them all. Surprisingly, she has good vibes but I need to be at distance. Gone are the days when I was a punching bag for every body.

Where the hell is Aarikh. Oh! here he comes.

A little background- "Aarikh and me were kind of nice friends, I knew he had feelings and I am sure i never let him knew that I had too. He was my first crush. I remember the valentine day when he gifted me a poem in front of whole class. I was searching a place to hide my face that day. The day when we were playing Kho-Kho and he ran too far. I was bored sitting and he jumped above me. I felt l won olympics when I saw Sara's face. Yeah Sara and Aarikh were supposed to be 'brother and sister' for world but world knew Sarah had feelings. So I used to have ball of time whenever he used to do something exclusive for me in his own style. He was the only one who was crazy to develop vocabulary and I was asked too by my dad to develop a rich vocab. So we used to talk so much about this in group discussions. World used to fume on this!"

But what the hell has happened to him. He looks like shit. I wanted to say "Aarikh baby! you are no more in class 10. you are allowed to have a sane hair style and for GOD sake you look like Chandra Shekhar Azad in that mid parted hair style. And sweetheart, why have you not developed your height. You were the only hope for this evening. I paid so much effort in front of dressing table to nail you once again." This evening is going to suck so much now.

So we ask each other about profession and life. Except me, Meeksha and Aarikh, nobody really gave a memorable answer on that. Girls were wearing those danglers in ear which shouted from their spot "all day she just wears me and flaunt in front of lame guys around." When Sukhet was explaining his business venture, I was just wondering if he has ever noticed that how gay he has become. Alok and Aakash looked as if either they are in love with my boobs or they have been promised bumper prize if they can look at them without blinking.

Karan was infact decent and I asked him what is he upto. He was into software development and was working for an NGO in gwalior. Impressive! No doubt my Dad said you just have one guy worth of your friendship. He had dark circles and lean structure. His deep eyes, well combed hair and plain white shirt said alot about his rich intellect. I was so proud to see him this way. Hope he makes it big, I blessed.

Came to know Aarikh is having a live-in relationship in Pune. Girl is from our town only, of course who else will fall for mid partied hair loath of 5 feet. He seems to be bragging about Pune lifestyle and his job profile alot. Men! I tell you. Just when he asked me "when are you getting married" instead of "what are your career plans". I snapped back "I will take my time; may be after another switch I will think about it." He said "C'mon give your husband a chance. In the end you would be the one who will be sitting at home with kids." Oh Lord! Dint I feel like picking him up from his throat and throw him on Mcdonalds counter with a light speed. When i made myself content with whole beautiful wrestle, I replied " I have to achieve in next two years for which you have luxury to take another 4 years, So I have to be career oriented, especially thinking we still have guys around who take wife as a multi-service servant." Perhaps the sentence gave him a itch in his balls, he finished his drink in one shot and asked me "Dont get me wrong baba, just meant what max you can achieve, may be what I am getting right now, that is it. Okay tell me what are you earning today."

I gave my salary figure and he ordered another drink, Sara coughed, Meeksha clapped, Sukhet, Aakash and Alok probably had an organsm in their pants, Karan did a Hi-five with me. I so fucking loved that sight. So many year of glitch and I nailed in one shot. Oh la la!

After that nobody tried to be chirpy and took my silence for granted. Money speaks dude!

We chatted about xyz stuff post that and decided to leave. I was paying to counter when Meeksha came and hugged me. She just said "Sorry for all those years when we could have built a life long bond. You were so harmless to me while I was just focusing on material." I hugged her back and asked her number. We talk once in a week now and she is in my unblocked friend list on FB.

Sara told me to invite her for whenever i get married out of courtesy. We both knew we have no interest in each other. We belonged to two opposite world.

Sneha, Raksha and Harsha asked me out for shopping as they wanted to buy same bag. FINALLY somebody asked! I gave them shit about my foreign trip and they became silent. I hugged them all and promised them to get one for them in next trip if it happens.

Sukhet, Alok and Aakash; I dont know what crap we gave to each other when we said bye.

Aarikh and I exchanged visiting cards and he invited me to Pune. I gave my practiced smile!

I myself asked Karan;s number and his NGO page on FB. I wanted to help if in anyway I can. He invited me on some NGO award function in delhi.

We had ice cream in last and took pictures in the hallway.

P.S.- Oh yeh! now i remember, Sukhet asked me out on movie as he has just purchased a new Bolero with black leather seats and blue lights around its tyre. I sacrificed my ice cream on his Reebok shoes!
