My Lost Friend

                                       In our life time we would have made lots of friends and met lots of people. Some of them tend to become special. We may or may not be in touch with them.We may not remember them even but certain things about them always remains with us . Whenever we remember those moments there will always be a smile on our faces. I also had a friend like this and I would like to tell all about him

                                        This incident is of that time when I was in Class 2 or may be 3 (I don't even remember). I had a friend or you can say as classmate. His name as much as I remember was Tapan (but not sure though). We both used to sit in the same bench. So must of our time we spent at the school we were in each others company. During lunch break we also had lunch together. We used to talk a lot in the class also. No we didn't talk so much that we got punished. We used to enjoy each others' company a lot.

                                      The days passed very smoothly. One day he informed me his dad is getting transferred from our city so he will leaving soon. I asked him for how long will he be gone . He told that his dad told that they will be gone for six years. And he also told that after six years he will come and again get admission in the same school so we will be again be friends. We used make elaborate talks regarding our lives after six years. I remember a particular instance, on that day we were standing on a slope just near our school gate and we both were having ice creams. And as usual we were discussing about his leaving. The scene is still fresh in my mind.

                                      I don't remember when he left , but he was gone. I don't remember his face even. But I know one thing for sure he was a great friend and the time we had spent together was good. In some part of my mind I still hope to meet him one day. I am not sure even if I meet him I will be able to recognise him. He might not even remember me also. I even thought of going back to school and search the records to know his name, address etc. Whatever it may be he was a good friend and will always remain special.

The Busy Us

                       All of us are so much busy in our lives that sometimes we take the people in our lives for granted. They may be our parents,friends,relatives,neighbours or spouse. We keep on running the race of life ignoring the fact we are missing something very precious in return. Have we ever thought of spending sometime with our parents simply talking about day to day affairs or anything we feel like? Or spending an evening with our friends as we used to do when in school or college? There are many such simple pleasures which we are neglecting in our pursuit of success and our dream for attainment of greater goals.

                     We are also forgetting that the persons who are with us now may not be there with us always neither will be the time which is lost. And by the time we realise(if we realise) it might be too late for us to be able to do something. Many of us don't get the opportunity of realising it also.

                      Can I say we all are being selfish? Then some us can object that whatever he or she is doing is for their family only, for there better future. Its not that we don't love our family or friends its just that we have become so busy achieving our goals that we are ignoring those persons for whom we are struggling so much. This is such a fact that all of us know but are ignoring it. We think that we will make them happy when we would have achieved something in life. But the problem is this at every passing time our goals change and we aim higher. So we never get the time.

                      Whatever we are doing may be good but we have to rework on setting our priorities. So that at the end of our lives we shouldn't be left alone pondering on things we could have done for near ones which we didn't and now we couldn't. In today's fast paced life we may try everything we want to fulfill our aims but not at the price of being so far away for the persons who mean a lot to us.

                      It will be better if we realise this fact as early as possible before we lose someone so close that we will be left repenting our entire life.......................

First Experience

              Experiences are what life is made of. To make it even simpler, our day to day experiences taken together make our lives. The different experiences we have in our lifetime makes our lives complete. Of all the various experiences we go through our entire life first experience of everything is memorable. It may be good or bad these are those special moments of our lives that we cant forget because there never can be a second first experience of anything.
              One can never forget the joy of getting their first bicycle. When one fine morning we wake up to find a brand new cycle waiting for us. The experience of happiness joy, pride of now becoming a owner of a bicycle. To be able to tell all our friends with a glint in our eyes that we have cycle also now. The first ride on the bicycle. Even though we all are grown up to adults now, whenever we think about that experience we always have a smile fixed to our face unknowingly. We still feel happy about that incident happened in our childhood. We feel nostalgic.
             Remember the first crush in college. A moment spend with them. First love letter written, received. First love. First date. First kiss.  The very first time we said I Love you to someone or someone said the same words to us. We still could feel the butterflies in our stomach remembering those moments of our life. We still blush thinking about it. The person may or may not be any longer in our life but that experience will always remain with us. We can still feel the excitement, nervousness, the panic etc we felt during that moment. These experience will always be special to all of us. We may be happy or sad remembering those moments but they will forever be part of our life.
            The day we received our first job letter. We may not have been happy latter in that job or may be satisfied with the job but nothing will beat the happiness we felt at the moment when we first held our offer letter in our hands. Fresh out of college or still in final year college or after lot of struggle it does not matter . The thing which mattered the most at that time was the fact that we have a job now. We proudly told everyone that we will be officially be a part of  the earning community now. We would have called all our relatives friends whomever we know just to give this news. We would have partied late that night. Some of us would have gone to temple to seek blessings and express gratitude . Many of us would have now changed many a jobs but none of the later jobs letters could ever possibly give us the joy satisfaction we experienced by holding the first job letter.       
              The day we got our first pay check our first salary. We were so happy that we started making plans as in how to spend the money, whether  to spend entirely or give it to our parents or do some savings. The happiness of  becoming now capable enough to mange our expenses and that of our families. The excitement of that moment when we held our first pay check is unbeatable. We would have jumped in joy. We still feel happy when we receive our salary but the happiness we experienced when we received our first salary cannot be expressed in words.
              There are so many first experiences we have already gone through in our life we ourselves  have not kept track of . There are many more first experiences yet to come in our lives which we are yet to live. But still First Experience will always be special.

Introduction

                   This is not the first time I am writing something but yet it is the first time I am writing something which anyone can read who wants to. There is so much going on in my mind that I am confused which thought to write now. I finally decided to write about myself.
                    Its better to introduce myself before writing down my thoughts or experience. Its like intoducing the actor before the actual play begins. This wont be like the normal introduction we all are used to ( remember you first year in college when your seniors asked for your intro). It will be more like making you aware of that part of me which very less people know about. You might be thinking whats there about me that is not known and I  need to write about it. I may be not the right person to judge that but I still feel there is part of me which very less people know.
                  All my friends know me as a person who is very easy going, talktive,loud etc and all the adjectives that can come to your mind when you think about me(if you know me). Dont worry the list is long and I know that. But they dont when am alone am nothing like that. Actually am a very silent person by nature. I love to be left alone to myself with me thoughts. No one disturbing, no noise, no tension, no deadlines, no expectations. I love to be lost in my thoughts.
                  I like watching the sky if its cloudy. There will clouds of so many shape and sizes. Pure white clouds in blue sky. Its just awesome, breathtaking. I dont know if anyone of you have ever seen it or not. If not please try observing once you will be lost watching it. Its so beautiful, words arent enough to describe. I have thought of capturing it in my my camera so many times but the camera always falls short for the vast sky so I discared the thought. So many times I will be lost in watching the clouds that I will forget what I have been doing or what I had to do. One of my dream is to be sitting under big tree in a cloudy day on an open grass field and enjoy watching the clouds in the sky savouring it all.
                  I also like watching the night sky full of stars. I often go to terrace at night to watch the stars. Its so peaceful and serene. I will be in lookout of reasons to go to terrace to watch the stars. I wish one day to watch the sky full of stars with my love by side sitting in his arms enjoying the night and the company both. It sounds romantic  may be cheesy whatever it may sound like but I would love to be able to do that some day. I would also like to go for a long walk in such a night and ofcourse with my love.
                 I love sitting on the beach and watch the waves crashing on the sand on the beach. The sea is so vast you can never find the end. If one look as far as one can then the sea appears to be a flat surface and giving an illusion that may be the Earth is not round. One can see a boat coming at a distant coming from nowhere suddenly. Mostly at sunset the beach is good place to be. Sitting simply on the beach or taking a stroll with water just lapping at your feet. Its feels so good and relaxing.
                I tried sharing something about me which no one knows I guess not even my closest friends. It felt good. I hope it wont be long enough before I will be writing again.
