On the 30th of the last month ,I was lucky enough to meet my 'best pal' Maneesh . It was a day to remember , just going in circles around CP again and again , remembering those good days of old , it was a great feeling! Then a trip to his house for lunch , Well ,time flew and pretty soon it was again time to bid adieu .
It certainly is something when you meet your best friend after five years! (the time span is shocking isnt it?) and what was the sweetest of surprises was that I realised that we were just the same (I wont mention the height difference here though) as we had been when we left Sherwood in 2005.
Greeting each other in the same old Sherwoodian tongue , it was a meeting of long lost brothers to be precise.He is still the same old person - with everything in his life arranged properly , the old case of football fever , never diminishing love for Nike!! ( I remember that he actually loved the yellow Nike t-shirt that I had brought for the treks and he was always going on about sports brands) .As memories rushed back , I felt that we were back in Sherwood and were probably strolling to the canteen .I almost expected him to ask me to join him for a game of badminton , some futta ,cricket or some more practice on the irani santoor .
When he paid for the coffee this time , I remembered that ,back in Sherwood, I used to usually run short as far as finances were concerned and well, it was real pain getting some money out of him (though he always gave it to me in the end).
While I'm and always have been a 'confused' case, he is still the same old Verma who keeps tab of everything that is going on around.So , it was no surprise as he updated me on the whereabouts of many old buddies as he has been in touch with most since he left.
It is the most wonderful of things to find your old friends as they were when you were together and frankly I had been dreading that maybe we both had changed and would no longer get along like we did in Sherwood. Well , now that clouds of doubts have been replaced by that strong friendship I can still say that Verma is still my best man!
Memories!!
