Reunion 05'

A post on REUNION 05' is long due.I wrote it the evening of the event but, unfortunately i misplaced it I could have written another one but,it wouldn't capture ma emotions in the same way as it did the first time.I kept aside the idea of another post and today i found the piece of paper in ma book.Opal proudly presents to you REUNION 05'

I don't have to be a mirror image of ma past,stuck in the cubicles of wrong doings.I have to shatter the glass walls and let go of ma egos so as to prove that people around me were wrong in their judgement.When I was invited to REUNION 05' it was a stroll back to the memory lanes, to the school that taught me lives valuable lessons apart from the usual dusty CBSE reference books which, I used to open once in a year just before the exams,the school that taught me that labs are not meant for experiments instead its a place from where gossips originate[I still abide by that rule religiously].More important school was a place which gave me countless number of souls who can put through ma stupidity even after 3 years.

Even after countless takes and retakes I kept on committing the same mistakes but, in a different context each time.Seems like the school wasn't successful enough in inducing real life intelligence in me.As for yesterday it was a dream come true to see the xii A madness come alive under the roof.Sam was ready with his PJ's,Riya in her usual chatter self, Manjunath hitting bulls eyes, Devi, Sanju, Jinu and Sneha as always together.Nothing has changed ,it was as if time stood still for 3 +years.There were some visible changes too like Sneha's 3000 rupees valued straight hair,few extra pounds for Jeebs and shedding of few extras for ME.Though i was little aloof initially i busted out of ma shell soon enough to make ma presence felt.I never expected the that kind of an atmosphere,with plenty of food and drinks considering the fact that the organisers didn't ask for a single penny from any of us.I even rang up mom to get ma lunch ready that wasn't necessary as, all of us were served appam and curry.Exchanging hugs,wished ,phone numbers I slipped back to ma days in school.I don't know if all of ma actions in school were justifiable but, no one seemed to bother much.This is one good thing about human attitude people play amnesiac for replacing bitterness with happiness.Its not practical on a long run but 4 hours is too Short of a time to accuse and fight.Me and ma big B left out the idea to scramble our pasts and let the few months happening fill up the bitter sweet memories.The face to face conversation brought tears,laughter and much needed relief.Ma left hand, Doctor gave me the biggest surprise,he wasted ma balance for nothing.The day before we had arrived on a consensus on whether he should arrive for the reunion owing to his medicine exams.He gave me a shocker by being there and also,I was so excited to see Ancy .Even after all this I missed people like Manju ,Nestly ,Divya ,Ruchika ,Aftab who couldn't make it.

Thanks to the whole organising committee especially Jithu for bringing the whole concept to reality.Some memories don't just fade way,it becomes a part of you for eternity.REUNION 05' was one such memory.
