Demystifying- Praveen Arora

THIS POST IS DEDICATED 2 MY FRIEND

Praveen (मेरे बचपन का यार)is a good old friend of mine from Bombay। We have studied together from 6th standard onwards till 10th (9th and 10th we were in different section -butstill)। I seriously cant forget this chap who has given me so many advices regarding every phase of my life till now.

Remembering the good old meetings

• We both had the same school bus and the same stop; as a matter of fact we were living in adjacent buildings 2 each other, so we just were really close 2 each other than any other group in the class.
• Whenever i met him in his house, mostly he would be studying with his mom sitting on the dining table or else he would be watching TV, we usually gathered in the evening while playing cricket or while going to the club for swimming or playing Table tennis.
• I would have gone 2 his house for a zillion times for some or the other things.
  

His attributes

1. A good boy w.r.t habits and listening to parents and treating friends
2. Very calm and always lives in his own world.
3. I felt special with him as he told me almost all his secrets and would approach me for anything fishy and always laugh on my lame jokes.
4. Is intolerably childish, this is because he would tell everything to his parents and would somehow make the situation troublesome.
   
5. Adviser by nature, thats in his blood i guess or i feel its just his nature towards me. He has always advised me of good or bad things and warned me for something for my betterment.
6. He is very candid, the best part of him i feel. He would suddenly pour his feeling towards any soul without any pretense.
   
7. Very studious, studies all day but what i feel is he does not produce sufficient output for his darn input.

Things i remember during our days

1. Once in 7th standard we were waiting for the bus after school and it dint come on time as expected, Praveen was really having indigestion and couldn't control his bloody "ass hole" ;-)...So he asked me to accompany him 2 his house in auto. Thank god he dint do it in the auto and was able to control till we reached.
2. Once after school we went 2 LUCKY stores, that time of the year everybody in the school was a STAMP COLLECTOR, so we went to check the prices for buying stamps, while coming from the store i flicked one full bunch of stamps (around 100 stamps);-)... We ran to his building and there i showed him all the stamps, as i was kind and good towards my friend, i wanted 2 share with him, so i gave half of it 2 him and went home, within no time her mother called me and started telling me about what exactly happened and what i did was really really bad and i should not do that again....i was shit scared that time as i thought she would tell that 2 my mom/dad, but nothing happened (thank god!!)
3. In 6th standard, we both had prepared a debate and only one could get selected and his debate was written by COL MADAM (English teacher), i just thought i dint stand a chance 4 getting selected, but when we both went and gave our audition sort of thing, Madam had to decide who 2 select. So she wanted to take votes from students in the class, for Praveen almost all the boys raised their hands (expect few were on my side, actually very few) and then when madam told to raise hands for me, all girls raised their hands and they were the majority......YESSSSSS i won and i am selected for the debate but ya i was a little sad for my friend.While going home in the bus, Praveen was crying n crying and just kept crying till the end and again i was not that keen 2 get selected so i told him that i would not take part and give my chance 2 u but he dint agree and continued crying. I felt really SAD for my friend but the same time i was a bit HAPPY for my selection.
   

there are alot more 2 write but those are not exactly present in my head at this point of time, as and when i remember i would really try 2 update.

Thanks 4 everything man, u r really a gr8 friend and i really miss ur childish presence;-).
