V met again…….


How does one feel when he/she gets to meet a very old friend…. Elated…Nostalgic…there are many other words which can be used to express the feeling…

Well, I got the chance to talk to a very old frn with whom I studied till class 4th. After completing class 4th she left the town and moved to Mumbai with her parents….we communicated thru inland letters for some time and in the next couple of months we lost touch…..

But I used to search for her name whenever I had a ray of hope of finding her again…during my btech at IT BHU I went to a cyber café for the first time with one of my colleagues…suddenly a thought came into my mind that I should search for her name on the internet…my friend asked.. Who is she…?...I told him that she's one of my friends I want to meet again…. When we reached the hostel he told everyone that Ravish is searching for his childhood gurl frn (bachpan ki saheli)…everybody made fun of me…then I decided I shall not do these stupid things again….but I was really stupid….and tried to search her again after joining orkut..typed her name in the search text space and pressed the enter key…Result….0 results….;)….but I didn't loose hope 'coz I never loose hope…

One day I was browsing through batchmates.com and suddenly searched for her name….and bravo…her name was there….then I opened the Mumbai telephone directory and called my home to get her address in Mumbai (she used to write letters to me so I had her address)…I searched for her father's name in the MTNL directory and found the phone number…..tried to call that number but alas..! it was a PCO…so…tried again on the same number with the hope that may be I connected to some wrong number….and asked for her… there was a lady at the PCO…she asked me …where r u calling from…? Ans: Bangalore…then she told me the landline phone number of my friend's house….I called that number…and yes…the number was correct at this time…but she was not home…her brother told me that she will be bak in an hr or so….so had to wait for at least and hour to talk to her again….It was 10:30 pm…and I was waiting for my bus….I dialed the number…. Somebody picked up the phone and it was her…..we talked for arnd half an hr…it was nice talking to her again after a long period of 14 yrs…Since then we have been in touch…and shall stay in touch for …….(nobody knows for how long……:)
