The Storm in the boat of friendship

Many times in life we meet people who leave an impact on us, but its only seldom that u actually live with those people in your daily life. Well I have experienced that with my college friends which are the best group of people you can hang out with. Whenever we are together v all get along like an house on fire, and we make sure that if we all are attending a lecture the professor turns around to look at who’s creating the fuss. Mumbai was beautiful for me only because I had idiots like them in my life without which Mumbai would only be a place of materialistic happiness for me ( please Ferrari and Lamborghini don’t feel bad I love you too but in a different way ). So as in every relation the world creates there came an up- down phase between all of us which led to the ultimate separation of the group. During this period we all had our alter egos taking control of ourselves in not initiating the compromise. All of us but this one guy in our group could read our eyes and tell that we were pretending to be happy without each other but we were not actually happy. The distance grew so much to the extent that from sharing a common canteen table and pulling each other’s leg, we moved on to having two separate table and the neutral guy moving in between to make it up to both the warring parties. As time went by and events kept on happening we grew more apart thinking that we were completely over it, but actually we were getting more depressed and depressed over the time. And all of us used to jell together so beautifully that in the 4 months that we avoided each other we didn’t make new friends in the college because we had a different frequency wave which none except us could match. Many initiations came by but because of this one person in the group ( like every family has a black sheep this person was the one for this group) the initial initiations were blocked by this person making us believe that no one cares now and everyone’s happy in their own way ( only one sentence for you, never cross my line again possibilities are I might tear u apart for what u did, I don’t care ). This went on till the end of the second last semester of the final year. The best part was that we all had a very good telepathic connection in the sense somehow none of us spelt out our disconcert to anyone in the college and no one knew why there was a split……..this is something we came to know after we patched up that none of us had blabbered anything to any third party in the college.

And finally the time came when we all were pretending to be happy in our lives , the next semester started and daily the simply sitting apart silently without acknowledging the existence of the other used to pain us, then boom went the dynamite when we came to know that there were 3 initiations from the other side but none even communicated to us due to the misinformer in between. We were pretty pissed off when we heard this and then what happened was that the compromise occurred and we all came to know how miserable we were without the other and the whole college which was about to digest the fact that we were now apart had a rude shock when we all sat together and began our usual gimmicks for about 4 hours non- stop. When we all met face to face did we realize that the reason for such a split was the black sheep who never intimated us of any initiations and had added fuel to the fire of the already grim situation. The day we compromised was awesome I haven’t felt so happy in like a really long time we were back to our usual self, pulling each other’s leg ( some even hair ), spilling coffee over each other, giving the bro half hug ( keeping in respect the Bro Code article 41 ) etc. It was such an invigorating experience, seemed surreal for a day but then it sank down to the truth. The evening went acknowledging each other on facebook and letting the thirsty fingers comment on the pics and updates that were old but due to the differences were uncommentable. We all learnt a few things from this:-
1. We were a pack, and could not be separated. United we stand divided we fall.
2. If ever in a fight always chose a good mediator (because of which this finally happened: hats off to you buddy, your return gift: a bigger mimba).
3. Sit across and hear the other party out.
4. Never ever believe everything that you hear until its from the right person.
5. Kiss and make up ASAP.
6. Recognize the black sheep in the group and never let it spoil the chemistry that all share.

This is a valuable chapter in mine as well as everyone of my idiot’s life and we would like to close this with a smile. And I have only few words to describe the happiness………. we are back with a “Bang”.


P.S:- We are Awesome!!!!!
