F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

I was born on Feb. 2000 so I lost a chance to relate myself with 90's kid. However the era is same. There are a lot of things that mesmerize us and take us to nostalgia. And the moments with friends had to be in this list for sure.

So lets start from the beginning. I was born in a small town of Nepal called Butwal. As my anatomical and psychological structure was developing, my hometown was also developing rapidly. Today after 20 years it is one of the developed city of nation. And in the span of this 20 years I got several chances to meet with amazingly great persons.

Talking about childhood, I never had close friends as I was very reserved person and never went out to meet people. Gradually in school I met with some people but never had that connection a real friend had. After 6 years of schooling I got my first best friend. We used to hang out together, play with each other. Basically, we were partners in crime. But as the destiny had written different thing, he left school after 4 years and I was left alone. But when life takes something from you, it gives a lot in exchange. I learned to be a extrovert person. I started interacting with different people and this helped my mass communicating skill. In class 10, I had one of my most memorable and best time that I could ever think of. But it was again a temporary happiness. I gave my board exams and moved forward for higher education. Now at this time I had become a stud for myself only. I thought that making new friends would make me cool, and hanging out in standard and expensive places would uplift my standards, but again I was wrong. I was in my adolescence period and I was forgetting my old friends. As the time was going, I was again left alone and this time I was alone mentally. I had no one to share my thoughts and happiness which nearly led me to attempt suicide. But when I went to college I was completely different person, my perception about friends was changed. Today, I would say that the most amazing friends that I ever had was at the time of school. We still meet at certain interval of time and organize a reunion party. Simultaneously, I am enjoying my college life with new friends.

I have written a peom in nepali that would describe my journey of making and letting go my friends.

Sathi tyo ho jo jiwan ko har ek chyan ma vetinchan

Paila metiye jasari kadam kadam ma metinchan

Feri huncha jagaruk naya sathi ko jiwanma

Ti pani gumauna pugxan pari yobanma

Dimag ma jhatka lagchha umer badhdai gayepachi

Yad ra kura haru ta purana kai hudo rahexa besi

Melmilap karyakram huncha feri tehi sathi harusanga jiwan ma

Purana yaad ra samjhana le aanshu aauchha nayan ma

Jiwan ho chalirahancha naya byakti ko vetghat le

K irsya dekhaunu jaba laane nai ho sablai aaryaghat le.
