i was just thinking over the title for my first blog.. i was wondering where to start and how to start.. finally i decided to blog about my special friendship,which i thought was lost forever!but i was the most fortunate person to get it back!!
9 months after 9 years!!!
those kinder garden days,when, we never cared what was going on ,around us.. and never missed to play any silly game.. never feared lizards and small insects(err.. i do fear them now!). never knew what is worry,sorrow or anything,are the most memorable days we ever had in our life!
and when it comes to schooling, all of us would remember the first person whom we made as our friend in our school days! people who know me and had been with me for the past 14 years or at least 10 years would have guessed the rest of the contents of my very first blog! well,its going to be about me and my first friend and my friendship..
we were(are) friends since our kinder garden days! not all are blessed to be in contact with their first friend throughout their life! i too thought i belonged to that category...
we were great friends till our 4th std.. i still remember how possessive we were about each other in that age! i never missed out his birthday and so he is! we exchanged so simple gifts but we treasured them a lot! hand written greeting cards, pens and pencils.. and our friendship was special for one more reason! we were(are) family friends too! and that made us closer!
hmmm.. and there came a storm..we had the so-called-class-shuffling in our 4th std.. and we ended up in different classes! there started a challenge to our friendship! we had rumours from fellow classmates that we got accustomed to our new classes and never felt sad for not being separated.. hmmm there was the spark and soon it started to spread as fire.. we had plenty of misunderstandings and ego clashes which finally ended up in a mess!! we split up..
and after that "best friends" till then turned into the "worst rivals" in everything! right from academics till extra curricular activities(till 8th, i too participated in those activities;) ).
we had plenty of silent quarrels(cold wars) between us.. and the whole school knew about the story! years passed.. and we never missed an occasion to raise our collar's whenever we achieved something while the other was below us,at least by one point!
hmmm.. fate was playing a game once more in the name of "shuffling"..that day was very important in my life..because it was re-entry as a student of the same school in 11th.. new class.. new curriculum.. entering "higher" secondary with "higher" hopes..
hmmm.. at last , as expected we both were classmates again!!! so those silent cold wars started again.. though we dint have direct fight, we had difference of opinion in everything.. and trying to establish each individuals' ideas..
i was in my 12th then.. again we were so (un)fortunate that we ended up in the same class after "shuffling" once more!! this time it was more interesting because either of us would top in everything that happens in the class..and this time we had a direct fight during seminars too!!
our exams ended and results published.. even after knowing the results we dint congratulate each other.. months passed..i was excited in joining the college.. i was getting ready for my first day at the college.. and that is where my life met a turning point.. i received a message from him saying that i needed to inform my mam about my change of marks.. at last.. we started forming our friendship again with much stronger basement of trust,mixed with love,care and affection ,and with all those essential for a good friendship!
Now it has been 9 months since we renewed our friendship! and we regret for having wasted 9 whole years for silly reasons!we remain "best friends" and closer than ever!
wherever you are, however you are,if your friendship is true, whatever comes between you and your friend, you will surely patch up again! so never miss any good friend in your life!
I'm blessed to have my first friend in my life again!

Always, in life, do not think, when friends are apart, friendship is gone. Your cold war, etc. are like that. Learn to treasure everything - every experience with your friends, including your cold wars. You can't really get back those experiences. So, never regret for anything that happened. :)
