The first thing you have to do once you are back home...is to give all your friends a call and tell them that you are back... coz if you don’t you will be the one who does not want to keep in touch....even though you left so many wall posts and scraps on facebook and orkut respectively...which were never replied...you’ll be the one not wanting to keep in touch....
So anyways after of being back in Delhi I called up some of my friends and told’em I was back and we should meet up sometime. One of my friends Kritz from school, can’t come to any other place but Priya’s ...its a place in south Delhi very popular among the school kids in vasant vihar and vasant kunj...since my school was in vasant vihar it was popular in my school as well...all the girls wanted to bunk school and go to that place just to hang out ... go watch a movie...or just sit in McDonalds and have burgers....Personally I never liked that place...coz I dunno ...i felt all the wannbes came to that place ...for me it was pretty boring there..and mostly because I was afraid I might run into people whose faces I swore to never see again..the only place I like there was Om book shop ...coz I would be in there for hours and hours and read books, and also priya cinema was one of the cheapest movie halls in Delhi ...so that was one other reason why I would go to that place.
For past one year I hadn’t met her coz she couldn’t come to any other place but that one...one place I hated the most in Delhi, but this time I had to meet her, it had been too long since we last saw each other , so I agreed to meet her there and since coz it was her birthday as well, so I dint mind the one hour bus ride. So we planned and decided to meet outside McDonalds at 2:00 the day after her birthday. Lucky for me my uncle was at home so he dropped me to Priyas (and saved me from the fucking long bus ride) I was there at sharp 2:00 pm outside McD’s I thought she’d be there , but she wasn’t ...so I waited there, just watching people walking from end to the other, it was still the same, school kids bunking school and hanging out there, the street shops were still there, there was still a huge crowd outside RPM the disc in priyas , which was open during the day (who goes clubbing during the day?) , the second hand book shops were still there...and then out of nowhere ...i saw my music teacher walking up to..damn of all people I wasn’t expecting him..he as usual trying to look as charming as possible said “so what brings you here today? Haven’t seen you around”,a s soon as I could I tried to rap up the conversation..so that no I know saw me with him...and after 5 long minutes he left (Thank god). It was 2:15 and she was still not there, she had said she would be there by 2 sharp, but she was not there...i was getting angry...coz I am always very particular about time. 15 more minutes and there was still no sign of her . I saw a couple of my juniors from school going into McDonalds...though I dint know them..but they did know me...all of’em were looking at me, staring ,as they passed me by...whispering something to each other ...but I dint care much coz I dint knw them and it was a habit of all the juniors to talk bout the pass outs they’ll see here and there...even I was them once....
So now it was 3:00 and still no sign of her my temper almost about to burst, when I saw someone familiar coming towards..at first I ignored her... but then I looked closely ...it was one of my very old school friend...Swati... we had been in the same division since the 9th grade ... had the same subjects.. at first sight of each other we both screamed them we hugged each other with the tightest hug ever .... we had never ever been in touch...she had no messenger ID... she was not there on any of the social networking sites..for her these were all waste of time...she had more important stuff to do..i still don’t know what... though we were not very close friends ...but we were friends....and I guess she was one person...not being a very close friend had seen me through all my ups and downs..she had always been there through every heartbreak...though her life was always secretive... even I dint invade into it much coz thats the way she wanted it ...so I was always kewl with it...she was always there for ..when I needed her ...and all of a sudden seeing her that day brought back all the past memories, I was surprised that in one moment how many past incidences of your life you can remember ....that time it felt as if I just watched the fast forwarded version of my life from my 9th grade to the 12th grade . We talked for a very long time ...asking bout where both of us were doing college from...and the usual question ‘hows life?’...we could have talked for like forever but she was with a friend so I she had to go...and that friend unfortunately stays in the same hostel as I do ..So now it was 3:20 and still there was no sign of Kritz....i was so pissed..coz I never come to priyas and only and only for her I had come to this place I hate the most and she stood me up ...so I went into archies bought myself I gift ...went into McD’s and got something to eat... I sent as many hate messages I could ....i decided I’llnever talk to her again... I don’t want... I don’t need such demanding friends who first make me come so far and don’t even show up...i waited there almost for more that 2 hours and she dint show up...yeah later that evening I got a message from her saying that she had completely forgotten that she had to meet me that day .....that angered me even more to the core, I was hurt coz I probably dint mean anything to her anymore, the girl who used to freak out everytime I took a day off school ...dint really care bout me anymore... and then I never replied to any of her scraps on orkut or her messages ...i was just so pissed at her ....I guesss two three years down the line I will talk to her but not in the near future..coz I guess when I am pissed ...you really cant make out what I’ll do and neither can I . But it was ok...if she dint bother to care ...why should I ... she was the one who stood me up ... not me... so I guess I should not be feeling guilty about not keeping in touch anymore .....but damn i do feel bad
