Orkuttttttttttttt

I just came across Vamsi's profile in ORKUT. Thanks to orkut , i finally found him.But..... i am unable to decide where and how to start. I don't know whether he will atleast recognise me or not.
Well , i will just make a slow start.... should see where it ends up.....

My first Outing

I don't remember exactly in which class this happened, my guess is that it might have happened when i was in 4rth grade..

It was a saturday(We wore white dress and white shoes to school) and I decided to go to vamsi house directly from school. I went to his place, spent some time and we both were returning back to my place when suddenly we met Rohit on the way. Rohit said that his house was near by and asked me to drop by. So we went to Rohit's house. Rohit had a collection of toys and we were deeply involved in playing and forgot all about time. Rohit's father came home from work and was suprised to see me still in school uniform. He asked me if i had informed my Parents abt this, to which i sheepishly nodded sideways confirming him a strong NO. He immediately took me and asked me to show him the way so that he could drop me at my place. I was shocked... i didn't understand at that time and kept asking myself "what is the hurry?"
Once i reached home Dad hugged me and asked where i have been. Rohit's father intervened and narrated the whole story. My father then thanked him and took me to the school. I was now wondering "why do i have to go to school at this point of time?". It so happened that my mother was so upset and worried about my DISAPPEARANCE that she went to my school ,made the authorities to check every nook and corner of the school and was crying when they couldn't locate me. All my teachers were ordered by the Principal to stay back and were included in the 'search party'. When i reached school my mother was overjoyed and she thru her arms at me. I was running at her calling aloud "Mummy". It was similar to filmy scene but with a little twist. I was running towards my mother and was abt to hug here when i was slapped hard on the cheek by Ratna Ma'am who was at that time consoling my mother. I cudn't talk. My father explained the whole scenario and apolozised for the inconvenience caused. My mother on the other hand was kissing me. I still couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation but at one time was enjoying the attention that i got.

Everything settled slowly and my parents took me home. The next day i went to school and i think it was the period after Lunch, 'Ayyamma' came into the class and said to Aruna Ma'am(our social studies teacher) that 'Uncle Sir' wanted to see ME. My heart sank at listening to those words.

'Uncle Sir' was none other than our Vice-Principal(name :MR.Sheshagiri Rao). Nobody knows how he got that name but even our teachers use to threaten us saying" if you don't complete the homework i will complain to Uncle Sir and he will take care of you". He was a tall person with a big belly and a harsh loud voice. Students were petrified at the very mention of his name.

I was taken to him. I was literally shivering with fear. He asked me(in his usual high pitched voice)" Where did you go yesterday?". I couldn't speak but gradually picked up courage and muttered "Vamsi". He then called for vamsi and when vamsi came, he ordered for two long ropes. He said to us " I will now tie both of you and hang u upside down till 3 days. Only then u will come to the correct track". We both started crying and begged him for forgiveness.We promised that we wouldn't reapeat this again. It was only then that he left us ,and we were very happy because every student who was summoned by Uncle sir ,atleast got a slap from him as a gift but we somehow did not receive any. We were the first to escape the deadly slap/punch. I felt sorry for Vamsi and thought that he would be angry at me. But Vamsi being a very good frd didnot accuse me even once.

This was my first deadly Outing

Vamsidhar

I didn't know from whom to start.
Well, i think it would be best if i start from the person who was my first buddy.

Vamsidhar....

We first met when i was in my first grade.He was sitting behind me. I don't remember how it started but we were frds from the very first day of our First grade.We grew together and so did our friendship.
It is common in childhood that we fight our very trivial issues and be really mad at the person who caused us 'misery'
One such incident occured when i was in 3rd grade.i had some issue with some other guy(who by the way is my friend now...name:kiran kumar).He being stronger than me tried to take advantage and one day chased me and i ran for my life all around the benches in our class. In this fierce running i accidently hit against the side of a bench. I was cut at the thigh and was bleeding. Kiran stopped chasing and showed some concern but i was reluctant and refused to take his help. Later in a daily secret meeting with Vamsidhar at his place ,i expressed my desire to bust Kiran.
On the other hand, Vamsi was much more upset than me over the incident and decided to take the matter into his hands. The next day he had a street fight with kiran( who actually offered little resistance, guess he was still feeling sorry for me)Naturally Vamsi came on top and we were very happy on our victory.

I know it is pretty stupid but thats what we were.

We stayed in the same area and i used to be always present at their place. If i was ever lost, my dad knew exactly where to find me. we had many funny and weird experiences which i may reveal in some later post.
But it all changed slowly.His parents moved to a new location and i no more cud meet him or play along with him.And to make matters worse, in 8th standard i was shifted to Section A and he was still in Section B. We were very sad and upset but then we contented ourselves by saying that we can meet during the short break and lunch break and we even made a pack. We obliged to the pack in the start but later each one had his own priorities. we had our own group of friends(although common frds still existed), i was not at all comfortable with the fact that he can have frds other than me. I don't know what this stupid behaviour is called but i still seem to suffer from it. Even today i want my frds to be only my frds and be with me alone.(but this feeling was very strong in those days, now i realize that being over possesive is not all that good).
Anyway, i used to spend more time with my new frds in the begining primarily only to show Vamsi that even i can have frds apart from him.Slowly we lost contact with each other and now have to know abt each others 'were abouts' only through some third person.

Slowly but surely the degree of friendship decreased.Today we are just friends and wish i cud go back in time and correct all the events that led to the current situation.

In movies they show that 2 friends who parted in their childhood after meeting again at some later point of time become instant friends once again.
But i guess that is not the case in real life. The intensity remains as long as you are in regular contact with each other. I learnt this the hard way.....

Purpose

I love my frds and want to be around with them all the time....
I just want to write down my experiences and the fun that i had with them...
In this blog each post would either be a description of my friend or any unforgotable experience we had...

Note: Experiences are funny for us but for a third person no matter how hard i try it may not sound or appear funny.Plz excuse me.
