Scratching my head for almost my entire evening walk and juggling between the dilemmas upon choosing on my next blog post, I suddenly came to a halt. While mumbling the word “seven” like a mantra for umpteenth time, something special struck by lightening. Yes Seven Sizzlers. How can I not remember the most beautiful part of my life?
Friendship…………………………………………………………………………….......................
Seven Sizzlers was
the name of our gang back in my fashion college & was inspired from the Famous five. While writing this post, I
have a big giggling smile on my face and the sadness of the moment at same time.
In one minute you reminisce good old days, all the fun, gossip, bitching,
pranks, exams, canteen, maggi, make-up everything transports you to the crazy
time with mad people. And the other fills you with melancholy. Time and
distance has abated the bond of companionship.
With heavy heart
& joy tears in my eyes, am dedicating this post to my besties. Let me
introduce you to my seven lifelong treasures.
1) Trisha (The
rich brat) –Born
& bought-up with silver spoon in mouth, she was the living credit card of
our group. As like most of college bums, we all were forever short of money.
From buying cola to bribing the local policeman for chalan , our friend in deed
always bails us out. Being the product of divorce parents, she was a kind of
loner until she enters the devils den. All hell broke loose & the only rich
crooked into a brat. RICH BRAT.
2) Swati (The
Nerd) –It was always
a mystery to us that why a math’s genius would leave her PG and can pursue a
total polls apart field. For her it was breaking the rules and running from the
constant pressure. We were always in awe of her. Assignments, presentations,
CAD, everything was piece of cake for her. I guess she’s the reason, we all are
proudly holding the degree today.
3)Neha (The
4:00 AM )-She was
the most composed person I ever know in my life & thus the 4:00 AM tag.
Whenever any of us required advice or wanted to pour our heart out, she was
always a call away. She hated argument & confrontations & always eating
our heads to be prudent. Today our group is still floating without hiccups and
the soul credit is SHE.
4) Ishpreet (The
Amazon)-5.7, 70 Kgs
, ex judo player and the Gunda of our
gang.She was like a bodyguard for all us and a threat to eve teasers. Though we
still complain how she ate the biggest portion from our maggi bowls.
5) Manisha (My
Alt-ego)- My
childhood & best friend. Though we were estranged for a time being but
destiny has other plans .We reunited again and since then the thread between us
became stronger. Through her only, I met the rest amazing people I can count
on.
6) Aastha (The
beauty wid brain)-Hottest
girl with the best brains around. She was the most popular girl of the campus.
She is the best example to counteract bimboo beauties.
7) Anu (The
sunshine)-That’s Me.
I remember the word sunshine from our college scrapbook which my friends chose
for me. A bit of salt , a bit of sugar
and a potpourri of everything.
I
hope after reading the post, my friend will not drill me and pierce me with
daggers.
PS: All names changed and one chum is missing from the pic.
