After a loooong exhausting day i was thinking of unwinding myself by having a late night walk but had to change my mind. Unable to think of anything else to do, i did what everyone else does..logged into facebook. Chatting with one of my old friend conversation took an unexpected turn. Some incident had taken place between him and me and he was giving his afterthoughts on that. Calling it an incident seems an exaggeration, most probably it was exchange of some words between us but i am just not able to remember anything about it. Its been six years which is not a short time but i remember incidents which took place 16 years back so the fact that i am not able to remember it is irritating me and more so because he remembers it so vividly and that incident had a great effect on his life. Thankfully he is mature ( unlike most of my friends :p) and has taken that incident in right spirit.
When i think of Jalipa, surprisingly i have got lot of memories related to that place. Surprisingly because i was there for only 3-4 months in which i hardly attended classes for 3 months. I knew i am not going to do my 11th there so i was sort of passenger there. Still i met classmates ( now i prefer to call them friends ) who were very cooperative and they made my short stay pleasant. But the thing which i liked most was that there was not much pressure on me to do things in a certain way and the fact that i was joint topper in the board exam makes it even more memorable ( though its of little consequence now ). Few people felt that i should have scored more and may be they were right but the girl who topped along with me was one of the best students i have met. In fact if asked about a "typical good student " she was better than me. So being a joint topper was not bad after all .
Fortunately i am in contact with most of my Jalipa friends ( after all Facebook is not totally a time waster ) and it feels good to be with them again.
p.s - mate if you are reading this , am sorry i don't remember that incident but you know little things like that, little memories are what that tests relationships and makes it stronger and i hope i have got a lifelong friend in you.
