Entering the college gate, I looked at d time,” half an hour to go for class.” I headed directly to chaupal and found my favorite spot empty, smiling I sat down. I looked around and saw animated faces, chattering and smiling. “I’m gonna miss this place the most! God! Last year in college!” I mused. A single tear came to my eye. Embarrassed, I glanced around to check if anyone had noticed me but instead I was transported back in time, flashback as it is in the movies!
I saw my treasured possessions sitting at the same spot as always, lost in deep conversation about life, discussing philosophies and listing intently as we poured our thoughts out. With a blink of an eye, we were now running around, laughing out loud, mocking each other and making silly faces! Those memories of endless talks about life, love, future and friends came all rushing back. The times when we leaned on each other for support and strength, times when we talked through silence, times when we giggled at our silly mischief were all in front of my eyes…as if it all just happened yesterday!
I wiped the tears which were now flowing lucidly from my eyes. Sighing, I got up ”time for class”. Walking down the crowded corridor I was startled by a shrill voice “Sherry!” Startled, I looked around and saw Nudi, Shotgun and Dodo running towards me with armed wide open! I crushed then into a hug and growled “why didn’t you guys reply my message?” “No balance!” they said in union and we all busted out laughing! ”oh by the way” said Nudi, “Shona Di called, said she is missing us dearly...specially our heart-to-heart talks…” I smiled to myself...and so begun a new entry in my diary of memories.
