It was one of those amazing evenings I ever had. I mean, how many times does it happen that your 2 groups of best friends call you at the same place, same day, same time. It happened with me last Saturday. Kanchan, who is my classmate from Chikitsak has come back from Italy, so she wanted to meet her Chikitsak friends. Since most of the people are free on Saturday evening, she told us to meet opposite Aquarium at the sea face (we call it Katta).
During the same period, my old school’s friends (from Sundatta High School) were planning a small get-together. Nitin had contacted many of my classmates to come to Marine Drive sea face. He called me and told me the same date and time as Kanchan had told me. He really wanted to meet everyone. I could make out from his voice, he was so much excited. Since, it would have looked really bad to say NO to any of the two groups, I decided to meet them one by one, may be give half an hour to old school group and rest of the time I was going to stay with Chikitsak group.
Actually situation turned out to be much more interesting. The two groups were sitting next to each other, and I would shift from one group to another as and when a new member arrived in the group. I am not sure if my friends got irritated because of this, I had no choice. As one of Shaan’s famous song has it-
Mujhe Na Kehna Na Aata
Kisi Ka Dil Dukha Na Paata
But it was fun meeting both the groups, especially my old school friends, I was meeting them after more than a decade. It was similar to the way Jeetu would come to meet us after a long time and we would him all the updates from Girgaon, this time Nitin and Vishal were updating me about my other classmates life. I am really eager to meet them and some more of my old classmates again.
