Hi all,
I always respect friendship. But in my case, i do not stay in one school for more than 1 and 1/2 yr or 2 because my father was working in a govt bank and so he used to get transfer every 2 yrs... Till age of 10 we might not be very aware of friendship. My life went on like this but i used to remember my friends. When i was in college , I happened to see jothikas film "Snekithiye " where friendship for ladies will not continue till lifelong.. After i was married i happened to settle in k.k.nagar. And one day , i was in a market bying veggies.. A girl came and asked me whether i studied in cuddalore school. yes, i was also able to recognize her and to my surprise she was in the next street to mine and she was a friend of mine when i was in 9th std. After 5 yrs of my marraige , i went to P.S.B.B school for leaving my daughter in school.. There another gal came and recognised me and she studied with me in 11th std. Her son was in the same class of my daughter's in a different sec.. Now , i do have contacts with 10 of my school friends and almost 25 of my college friends..
recently with my school(creche kids too included), i went to vandaloor zoo and i was incharge of taking care of big gals. While returning i was talking to a gal about her school. She was in her 7th std in akilandeswari school in trichy. I was so happy that it was my school , the only school where i studied for many years ( 4 yrs he he ). I enquired about a teacher who took science(very intresting teacher who impressed me to draw and learn) for me with a doubt ( because it was before 18 yrs) . that girl told that the same teacher was taking science for her.. i was happy though i didnt see the teacher but heard abt my favorite one.
p.s might be boring for few .. that was my view.. share ur views if u too have an intresting exp..
Yeah..u can even see that in my case..u know KG3..she was my classmate since 3rd std - 12th std..after which we lost contact..now after 10 yrs..she is able to recognise me..That was a wonderful experience....
Even I never had childhood friends and only from college i made friends(both UG and PG)....i jus keep in touch with them thro orkut and facebook since most of them r in abroad...
Hey... u made me walk down the memory lane for a minute.. my dad was in the defence and i studied in as many schools as there were grades.. amazing but true that i do keep in touch with so many of my friends, the oldest being my 4th std classmate - but yes the number of men i am in contact with is more than the women!! men might not be eloquent and write loooong mails but they are the ones with frequent one-liners in scraps and mails...
I bumped into my school class friend recently in chennai trade centre where i went to see the hindu 'super mom' contest . She recogonised me after 16 yrs.. actually it was mutual recogonition, but she was fast in reacting..'hey chitra' nu vandha..
but another recent incident in my apt itself.. i had seen twice one gal whom i remembered as sunitha from my school.. luckily/unluckily i met her in the lift of our apt. .. i was excited and asked her.. hey u remember me.. i am chitra from your class studied in xxx school.. u r sunitha right.. she was giving me strange look.. she said yes i am sunitha and i studied in that school.. but i do not remember u .. nu seriyana
bulb ku kudutha.. i will go check my old photos.. but she had the decency to say ' i live in 7B. do come.. nu..' but i thought in my mind' forget it'. nu i went to my flat in second floor.. i was feeling bad that she did not remember me nu..
Then one more funny incident some 11 yrs back.. it was 5 yrs after school.. i had been to egmore railyway station along with my 4 other college friends who were returning to madurai and i and 2 of my chennai friends came to station to see 2 of them off. i was standing in the line to get platform ticket.. sunddently one guy was calling' chitu chitu'.. hi. yenakum one ticket please nu.. i was like'' who is this guy.. seems familiar..' and i was thinking hard if it was my college mate different branch or same branch'.. seri i get the ticket for him as well.. then he came to me and said thank u chitra.. how r u long time no see. which college u finished. yenna panara nu kelvi kettutu ponnan..
i answered him.. then since my other friends were standing beside me.. he asked r they u'r college friends.. yes nu solli .. i introduced them to him.( mind u i did not remember his name but got to know that he was my school class mate)
then when his turn came.. i am sorry.. i forgot u'r name.. nu name keten.. janakiraman nu solli. adi pavi.. pera maranthutiya nu ketan.. once i got his name.. i remembered that he was the notorious guy in the class specificall he used to trouble our hindi madam a lot...i said its nice to know that u remembered mine.. but sorry about forgetting u'rs nu..sollitu apadie varala veetuku.. since he is residing in ashok nagar.. he wanted to drop me at home.. i was sceptical as i knew my mom will not like it.. but anyway went ahead went with him to my home.
nice post akila.....bought back all the old memories.....

Hey! God is very kind to u! You were longing to get back your long-lost friendship and God has given u not just one but many in a row!
Know what! I was yearning just like U and logged myself into many networking sites recently to locate my dear college-mates but in vain till date. Atlast I landed in CMom, and finding nice good friends. They keep in touch with me, soothe my pain and help me forget my loss.
And with their good will and wishes I am sure I will get connected to my dear college-mates, Srividhya, Meera, Shobana and Radhika one fine day!
WISH ME GOOD LUCK!
