A story...This is the story of two girls- two best friends.
She dosent remember her first day of school, probably coz she was two-and-a-half when she joined school and she left that school when she was 18! (yea i know thats TOO long), but she clearly remebers HER first day of school. it was the fall of '96. and she was a mean person, (still is) and SHE was a shy kid and yes fat too. and they never let go of any chance to make HER feel bad and out of place.....and SHE cried. who could have thought they'd become the best of friends in just a few months? SHE turned out to be the hardworker and got first position, and she wasnt that bad either. HER popularity grew.....SHE lost weight, became smart and she got jealous.
pata nahi when it happened....but soon they werent to be seen apart. SHE became the prefect and she was with her at all times. they fought, they cried, they laughed......
they fought over everything- a cornetto, the latest back street boys album, a spice girls poster, and yes guysss....
they cried- over silly indian movies, over crushes which changed every week, over ppl they thought they loved, over bad results, failed tests, and high achievements.
they laughed- over men, women, teachers, other people's follies, their own follies and gross jokes...
they loved- backstreet boys, hot samosas(mmm), canteen ki coffee (- in 3 paper glasses with colorful patterns on them), bunking classes (and hiding with the fear of being found out), going out, and the same guys!
they hated- their school*yikes*, oily rolls (aarrgh!), the chemistry teacher, the english teacher and that fat girl.
...........and they talked alot, but her mother says they didnt talk, they rambled coz it didnt make any sense to anyone else. well ok so they rambled....about songs, movies, boys, teachers, food, clothes....and sometimes books. they were obviously just like everyother teenager at that age....
....who would have imagined then that they'd become something like strangers who met accidentally on a road and stopped to say 'hi how do u do?'...
....they who were with each other over every lost boyfriend, every lost penny, every failed test, every family argument.....and deaths too??
..been 10 years since they met......
i realized today that i havent talked to my best friend in ages....i guess almost a month! and then i called her...but didnt have anything to talk about.....howz the day? howz the job? howz ur boss? howz ur mother doin now?.........is that it? i thought i could never run out of topics with that girl.....but i was wrong....my phone call ended within 6 mins with the news that she is fine, her mother is better, her job is hectic, her boss is fine and i am fine too, my papers were fine......why is everyone FINE? dammit! being fine has become a curse.........why is everyone so fine? why couldnt they be NOT fine so that we could have had something to talk about?????
*sigh*
thats what time does to you....
