Diwali 2006: A meet with my close old friends

juNya आठवणी जूने miTra

This is my first Diwali which I am celebrating with my parents after I joined PERSISTENT.

I really enjoyed this Diwali very much because now few of my Dreams have become true.

By the way, on this Diwali I met with my old friend, my schooling friends...

• Vikas Deshmukh, Ankesh Sahu, Jay Mehta, Parminder Singh Dhami, Neetu Mirani, Pooja Manuja...

I hope I have met them after a period of 5-6 years... It was really a good experience to meet our old school friends after along time...

• Vikas Deshmukh:

My good friend in STD 8 to 10; and after wards also. But I think we had lost the contact after I came to Pune and he was still in Amravati. So I think when we met it was almost a meet after 2 years. He came to my house. We had a long chat about each other, sharing the daily routine of each other. Then he told me that Jay had a very serious accident in recent so his leg is badly fractured. So my next destination was Jay Mehta.

• Jay Mehta:

My Evergreen best friend in STD 8 to 10; we met many times after that. But I don’t think we had recently met each other in last 3-4 years. So I decided to meet him. I had never seen his new house before. But I had seen the location of his new house in STD 8^th when his house was under construction. So as per my memories of 9 years back I went to his house. He was very much surprised that how I was able to find his house as I have never seen it before. Again he was surprised that how I came to meet him all of sudden. We had a great Chat that day for an hour or two. It was all about near past happening. On that I came to know about my various Old friends what they are currently doing. After a good Chat I left his house. My next destination was the house of Neetu.

• Neetu Mirani:

My Best friend in STD 8 to 10; after that we hardly met each other. But this time I have decided to go to her house and meet her after a long interval of 7 to 8 years. I didn’t know where does she live? But what I know was her father name is Jagdish Mirani and she lives in so and so colony. I was sure I will get her house. When I reached their colony;

I asked one person “Ye Jagdish Mirani kaha rahate hain pata hain?”

He replied “Yaha 4-5 Mirani rahate hain aapko konse waale chahiye…”

After that he asked me few questions but I don’t know the answer to any question.

At last he said “aap kisi ek Miranike yaaha jaao aur unhe puncho ki Jagdish Mirani kaha rahate”.

So I decided to go one of the Mirani’s house and ask them. And fortunately the first Mirani’s house was what I was searching. The younger Sister of Neetu opened the door.

I asked her “Is Neetu there?”

She said “Yes, Please come inside.”

Then we have a great chat for an hour or two; about our old days of school and the new days of our carrier.
