Some secrets cannot be revealed even to the closest of your friends and many of them are the secrets of the heart. Being new to the co-education system I was shy to be friends with the students around. I loved it when these people spoke about each other's lives being at ease with the opposite sex but I clearly felt like the ugly duckling among the swans.Part of it was becoz of my braces and part of it was my awkwardness between guys.
Having been declared as a nerd due to my past academic result, I was further left in my own world. I made friends with the two most popular girls and I really liked them. They not only enjoyed life but had a peculiar self confidence about their personality. While I was happy reading books ( let me specify here that i read novels not course books) these people enjoyed their teenage life. Movies, outings and ofcourse the infactuations, I was a far spectator to all of these. Its not that I did not have my share of crushes but they were just momentory and soon passed by.
Life moved on but soon it demanded changes and I thought I was ready for those changes. The visit to the lake close to our college that day changed how I would spend my college life. It was drizzling and this amazing gal Bani* sat next to me and heard me with so much of patience. I can still recall her words
" Give it (life) another chance, open up, its not that bad after all"
My college life began in the true sense that day!!
I've had many arguments with Bani* after that and its funny but we start laughing even when we are fighting!! I dedicate this post to her..... No major reason for it but just to let people know that your friendship matters a lot to me!! Take care!!!!!!!
