How I met Nikhil

It’s a summer day and I was playing or say trying to play in the ground nearby my house. I see lot of people gathering around nearby; curious I went to see what they are up to. A kid roughly of my age was being bullied by two guys older than him, this is when I walk into the fight and rescue the guy in a heroic manner. I carried him back to his home. I vaguely remember this is where the boy swore to me that he will never leave me. Well that boy is clinging on to me till now- that’s Nikhil.
I wish if this is how I met Nikhil. I was destined to meet him; this is what I think of him.

Lets come back to normal, not a great story, quite normal but I feel happy the way we met. It was my first week at engineering college, it was very exciting. I always have no inhibitions speaking to new people. Trying I was to make some new friends. I was talking to some of the guys in the last benches of our class room. I was narrating them some rated Jokes. Suddenly a tall guy, well built shows up in the middle of the conversation and seemed to be quite interested in my jokes. He said “hey I think we already met”, I had no clue what he was talking about. This is when he told me about the past, suddenly I remember every thing.


I remember one day from my Intermediate betterment exams, I may not be genius but was fairly good at studies. I used to not carry any of the cheat papers with me, but was not sure why it was always me who was being checked for Mal-practice during the exams. I was checked thoroughly and sent to the exam hall. The invigilator in the hall was a lady and she started to check my exam pad and writing utilities. I told her that I was checked at the entrance and asked why is that she wants to check me again. To that she replied
“ Are you not aware of what is happening during exams and there are many ways one can cheat ,, you should be reading papers”,
to that I replied I usually don't read that stuff in papers. She then made fun of me asking
“Do you read only the 'vasundhara' part of the paper”.
Every body in the class was laughing and I was kind of embarrassed. I went straight to my seating and started my exam, it was math Exam the guy beside me was having trouble solving some problems. He asked me if I could help, I gave him my papers and he was thankful. As you might have guessed, it is Nikhil.

Well there after he used to greet me well whenever we were around .. Initially I thought he might be very innocent. He seemed really nice and always showed interest in 'my kind of fun'. We soon realized that we live close by and started meeting quite often. Back then I used to have loads of Telugu movie cds. "Nuvvu Naku nachav" that is the movie he wanted. I gave him the movie. This movie started everything. We realised our shared interests in comedy movie s, used to have fun time whenever we were together. We made fun of everybody in the most sarcastic way imaginable, and that often ended hurting others, though he denies this he was my support in every nasty thing I did.

I don't exactly remember when I realized he is my best friend, but I do understand that he is going to be around for a life time.

Cheers to our friendship.
