A very meticulous work day but what an end! Left my mind turning back some ten year old pages of my life. If i look back from those times and see the course it is shocking and surprising at the same time. I least imagined i could stand where i do. To me it was just a basic hunger of trying to get some place in the herd, the as-usual. To earn and live like the rest. I never imagined i could live my dreams. I could get to work on ground and be part of the change which then sounded crazy to all. My closest of friends used to laugh at my thought of wanting to work for farmers.
Today, thanks to one of my friends from my graduation times form Sahyadri Science College, i mustered enough courage to venture into her son's birth day party. Yes! I do have a strange aversion from crowd but i yielded for two reasons: One, i have lot of my old friends on Facebook but they hardly are there! Here was one invite from a friend i was not in touch since years. She took my number and called me to invite for the party. Second, it feels great to re-cherish those old days. So here i reached the venue almost at 7:30 in the evening. Trust me i had to call two of my friends to muster courage to enter into a over crowded party hall.
Though the party was not as i thought, i met my friend and she pointed me to three of my other friends. It was a pleasant shocking surprise. I least expected any known faces except her but here i get three more!
Now these three friends just adored me (so i felt - happy that way). I hardly used to speak during those college days but i guess the very fact that they have seen me through my days growing, was nostalgic enough and pleasurable.
We had a little round of ubhayakushalopari. The best part i liked was these three had not changed. They kept clapping and encouraging kids who were dancing - exactly the way i had recorded them in my memories. I never imagined meeting these not so close friends could be so cordial and special. We had food together. Got a typical group snap captured and we all said bye for now and walked in different directions.
Life is so strange and full of surprises. Meeting them gave me almost a hallucination of the past. Of those days of struggle. Where everything was tough and risky. I am thankful i could live my dreams. To be able to contribute to those 'ambitious' speeches i used to blabber.
I almost felt like crying but wait! I had not slept well since weeks and another hectic week ahead! I had to keep my spirits up! And the day ended with kisses from my little princess after a show down from her mother teaching behaviour! Among all things, this little angle was not even born back then - today she is my life!
