''When is the next train to Lingampally?'' i inquired the person in the ticket counter.<br />
''9:15 scheduled time of arrival,but it might get late" he answered brusquely,sounding as if i was asking his job. <br />
''One ticket to Bharatnagar'' i demanded,fishing out for the change in my pocket.<br />
The railway clock showed 21:15 and i was about to leave the counter.A voice came trembling from behind, asking for another ticket to Bharatnagar,i looked back and it was a girl in her mid 20's beautifully dressed and the rain makes it even better.<br />

<br />
You are my first Teacher, who never flunked me<br />
You are my perrenial love river, which never perishes<br />
You taught me how to walk, by offering your helping hand, so that i dont fall<br />
You taught me how to run, by watching me from behind<br />
You have learnt me how to write, by working with my fingers<br />
You have learnt me how to draw , by spending endless hours with crayons<br />
You taught me how to compete, by enticing me with gifts<br />
You spend endless hours just to blend me into a good person<br />
You straightened me and put me on right track<br />
But where did you get that energy from mom?.................</div>

<br />
Mom, the day i was born<br />
You might have waited for me to open my eyes<br />
You might have looked into my unfathomable eyes, with boundless love<br />
You might have took me into your arms, while i am crying<br />
You might have felt my soft skin, while i am still crying<br />
You might have kissed me on my forehead,<br />
You might have wanted me to talk to you<br />
You might have wanted me to hold your finger<br />
You might have dreamt of me, to be out there in the real world, competing<br />
You might have wished me to grow,with love that will never die............</div>

A DAY THAT GOES BY AS A WARM MEMORY/ A DATE WITH SCHOOL FRIENDS:<br />
<br />
It was 7:30 am in the morning and i opened my eyes,knowing it would be a day to remember as I was actually going to meet my friends with whom i have spent<br />
5 yrs in school.<br />
"I am sure three fourths of my schoolbuds would not even remember me,considering the fact that i haven't spoke to them for 5 yrs<br />
(2 yrs of inter and first 3 yrs of engg).<br />
But that didn't hurt me because i was the one to be blamed for that,which i consider taking," these were the thoughts that ran through my head.<br />
That was the umpteenth time i was looking at the watch,it read 9 am and i asked my uncle to drop me at KPHB bus stop.<br />
That day i had someother work to be done at VISU(GRE CONSULTANTS) HEAD OFFICE in ameerpet.<br />
By 10 am i was there in ameerpet and to my surprise i couldn't find the office which i was looking for.<br />
"VISU head office ekkada undi?" i asked a person standing infront of an ATM."seeda jaake left lelena," he replied in hindi<br />
(Guess in hyderabad two languages work both "hindi" and "telugu" showing the diversity of the great city).<br />
I have completed my work over there a bit early as thoughts of being late crept in my head.It was 11:15 am already and i left the office.<br />
I gave a call to my friend PRASHANTH,and knew that everyone would be late except for VIKAS (the on time guy of our school).<br />
From there I took a bus to secunderabad where i met PRASHANTH and B.GOUTHAM,the two guys out of 5 with whom i am in touch with.<br />
Let me tell something about this guy PRASHANTH "the unofficial face of our batch,a bridge between boys and girls<br />
(this is very important considering that in our school guys and girls seldom speak),<br />
a person with whom every guy and girl are in contact with,literally he is like the COORDINATOR of this so called GETTOGETHER",<br />
the other one GOUTHAM is a "silent , shy personality and has a typical sense of humour,which i always liked."<br />
Later we took an auto to JAWAHARLAL NEHRU ZOOLOGICAL PARK our official venue for GET TOGETHER.</div>

ZOO PARK PART:<br />
<br />
As we got down from the auto,i could see those gritty and known faces,turning around.<br />
"God see to it that everyone recognises me," i prayed,and soon i realised that god responded to my prayer,and everyone recognised me.<br />
As I could recollect their names one by one it was VIKAS,MURALI,UMAKANTH,VINOD,CH VENKATESH,KISHORE,ANUDEEP,SRAVAN,PRATHAP,UDAY..<br />
"Ela vunnav?,SURYAPET eppudu vachav?INTHA LAVU ELA AYYAV?ROJU BEER TAGUTUTUNNAVA?"were the series of questions i was put to,<br />
and answering and throwing the same banalties at them went on for some time".<br />
But those of whom who liked me (i guess ) gave me some warm hugs as a gesture of getting together,which i liked actually.<br />
And then in the backdrop i could see 4 girls(SRAVYA CHANDRIKA,SWATHI,SINDHUSHA,MADHULIKA as i could recollect),<br />
"four of them, whom i have only seen at school never talked to (or rarely did i).i know it was stupidity not speaking to friends with whom u<br />
have spent 5 years with,but i know i was the person to be completely blamed for that,Damn i was an introvert then."<br />
The same prayer entered my mind,and this time i guess god didn't act to it.I moved to them and greeted them with a "Hi" ,<br />
and the reply was another "Hi",i wonder if they did recognise me at that point,because there was no other question ahead.<br />
I came back to the our "MOB" of boys with whom i have had some "fun chat",especially the ones by SRAVAN,VINOD and ANUDEEP about my<br />
weight and how did i add so much of mass.<br />
I was very happy answering them by telling them that i had "HIT THE GYM" regularly since 3 months(as i always had a body complex ).<br />
Later at about 2 pm we entered the ZOO park,"Velli Zoo mottam tirigudam,"Sindusha was yelling at the other three girls.<br />
"I guess we are here for "GET TOGETHER" not for watching some animals which would always be here unlike us," i sneered.<br />
"Kavalante velli discovery channel choosko" i replied her.<br />
Then i guess everyone was hitting different directions in the zoo, and for the 1st one hour or so it felt more like a "GET AWAY" than "GET TOGETHER".<br />
And then i spoke to CH VENKATESH,whom i remember as my bench leader.He was telling me that i have changed very much both physically and mentally<br />
(guess he wasn't calling me retarded).<br />
Both of us were walking across the Rail track with VIKKI,who suddenly started throwing some jokes at us,which i guess were hardly worth laughing,<br />
but its good that conversation continued as it reminds me that i am still in a GETTOGETHER.<br />
Abruptly i guess by 3 am everyone realised that they were actually in a "GETTO" and started to fix everything.<br />
Mean while i spoke to SRAVYA CHANDRIKA and SINDHUSHA who were investigating me if i could remember their initials,<br />
i was half succeeded as i couldn't answer the later's initial.The one thing which struck my head talking to them was that<br />
they could actually recollect my birthday.<br />
"How the hell on earth did they remember that?"I was still in awe.The credit should be given to girl nature as they always remember<br />
those short and sweet moments,<br />
unlike guys who go on a high for big moments.From then on i felt that i was the culprit,not remembering them rather ,they always remembered me.<br />
Finally after various calls everyone assembled at a place,and started speaking to people whom we haven't spoke to yet like KARUNYA and other missed ones.<br />
Then we thought of spending some quality time,only to end up playing India's Unofficial National Game "DUM CHARADES".<br />
Most of that part was fun as i wasn't the person doing those dumb signs. Funniest part of it, as i recollect was of SRAVAN'S,and UDAY's<br />
(the most energetic guys ,as i say he is my best opening Bat/Bowl for our school cricket team),<br />
The one of SRAVYACHANDRIKA which was to give gestures for some word like "MONKEY" i guess,i enjoyed it as she did it with ease.<br />
Then there were some very complicated names like "Oka Radha Iddaru Krishnulu" which were also done with ease.<br />
At that point of time i felt "how should i be doing that?" and my mind started to black out.<br />
It needs some other talent "DUDE" i told to myself.I feared that they would ask me do something as complicated as that was,<br />
but as my turn came i signalled them i would speak,<br />
and spoke of different things and about each and every person present there.<br />
Starting with my "BEST BUDS" who always been special to me,ABHINAV,PRASHANTH,VIKAS,VINOD,GOUTHAM.<br />
The next one was ANUDEEP whom i know from school was very matured kind of a guy,and had shown me something incredible in 9th class(sensored).<br />
Next to him was PRATHAP,whom i always wanted to ask for a sorry.<br />
Then it was UDAY the energetic persona.Next to him were KISHORE,KARUNYA,UMAKANTH who were all good friends of mine.<br />
SRAVAN the counterattacker,who has got a nimble wit.Finally coming to girls"??????!!!!!",were the emoticons in my head.Sravya chandrika and swathi<br />
were two girls i have a grudge on,as they were the one's who pushed me to 2nd rank in 10th class,and 7th class respectively,<br />
Madhulika whom i cannot decipher at all,or i could say i only know her superficially.<br />
SINDHUSHA is as GUILELESS as ever.That was my dramatic speech.Then we had a Mandatory photo session,which was the only souvenir that we had.Then we had a never ending discussion on where to go next,and decided to go to a restaurant.<br />
<br />
MISSING THE OTHERS PART:<br />
<br />
We hired an auto from the ZOO,in which me,murali,vinod,karunya were there."What next?" said i to murali next to me.<br />
I would like to pursue a technical course in animated games,was his terse reply.<br />
I felt very proud that my friends are diversifying,rather than sticking to the engineering part.<br />
Then i felt i was missing ABHI badly as he was the fun element in our class.<br />
NIKHIL,MAHESH,RAHUL,DS GOUTHAM and all others should have come,i thought,immediately consoling myself.<br />
I strongly felt there should be a souvenir,so that when we look back at it,it leaves some warm memories.<br />
I have decided to get some white papers,and some sketch pens,and some covers.</div>

RESTAURANT PART:<br />
<br />
The thing which stuck my mind then was that i have actually promised my uncle that i would return by 8 pm,it was already 7:30 pm when we reached the restaurant.<br />
I decided to make an excuse for that,making excuses was my part time hobby,i knew i woudn't go wrong at that part.<br />
By 8 pm the menu stuffing,and ordering was completed.I was left with the souvenir thing.<br />
Picking those papers i started to write the names of my friends present overthere.<br />
Announcement was done to give their opinions.<br />
I have started writing mine,and each time i have tried to remember an incident related to that person,succeeded in some of them failed in many.<br />
After all the papers were filled with different colours,we packed them in an envelope and gave it to the respective persons.<br />
For most part of the time in restaurant i could listen to PRASHANTH,VIKAS,ANUDEEP, Girls,KISHORE,UDAY yelling at one another .<br />
My mind was completely blank then,wondering what excuse should i be making,because the occasion was important ,it was my aunt's birthday.<br />
I tried to take my mind off that for a while,and there was some whispering going on that MURALI's birthday was on the day before,and KARUNYA's the next day.<br />
The guys planned a cake cutting festive,which worked for me actually i was able to bring my mind back.<br />
Had some very good time overthere.It was raining heavily outside,and the waiter had brought a bowl full of biryani ,which i almost munched 100 times every gulp,showing how reluctant i was at eating then.<br />
<br />
GOOD BYE TIME:<br />
<br />
The time had come to leave and probably for the first time i was reluctant to move(considering i have to leave my friends),but the other part of my mind reminds me of the promise made.The thing i felt missing among my friends was that they weren't open in expressing their views,may be i was wrong too ,may be i was the odd man for them.<br />
I wish i could speak to each and every one of them once again,spend some quality time.<br />
Time hits us hard when we least expect it,wish i could meet each and every one once again,felt that was a half GET TOGETHER<br />
(partly may be because it wasn't planned early)<br />
ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL,but the part that i will relish upon when i remember of this is the "DUM CHARADES" part.<br />
Half done,and its goodbye time,i have greeted every guy with a hug,and asked girls for an "ALVIDA(bye)."Off i went against them into the world like i did before, but with a gratificaton this time around.<br />
<br />
EPILOGUE:<br />
<br />
" SOME OF THEM ARE REALLY SPECIAL To ME".One fine day i wish "SOME" would be replaced by "ALL" .<br />
<br />
"I MISSED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM"-------WHOLE HEARTEDLY..!!!!<br />
<br />
"MISS THOSE CRICKET BET MATCHES"<br />
<br />
-------DEDICATED TO ALL MY SCHOOLBUDS.<br />
