Today I was talking with my neighbor's teenage son Vivek about his school activities and his studies. He was telling me about his Spots, drawing, canteen and other daily activites. I felt strange when I heard that his school friends are using Google + and facebook for communication. He is just 14 years old boy. I have addded in my friend list as per his request. I was thinking about my school life and activities when internet was not in general use, even we could enjoy only one TV channel at that time. But I was happy while studying in school and my friends.
I can remember that my father got transfer in his job as he got promotion to Valsad. We had left our hometown Surat and went to Valsad. We had get admission in famous school of the town, Bai Avabai high school. I was impressed by all the gadgets of sports and the huge playground of the school. I was in 8th standard when we had gone to that town. My class teacher Vasu Desai was the loving nature and strict lady. She was our English teacher who had given me the inspiration for loving the language English. I was new in the school and not aware of any pray which were singing in the school. I was mute while the pray time. One day my teacher had asked me about that manner and I had told her the truth. She had smiled and given me a notebook in which all the prays were written. I was not interested in writing them in my notebook. I had given it to my sister for writing in my notebook. She had copied and I learned it on my lips. I was ever lazy for my homework and my mom was hitting me for that. But I was fully interested in drawing, singing and playing games.I was ever busy in drawing pictures of cartoon characters like, Micky mouse, cats, ducks, peacock etc.
One day my class was on ground for play time. I was sick on that day, so I was in the class. I took a piece of chalk and started drawing on black board. When the play time was finished, it was the period of English language. My teacher was watching the drawing and seen to all of us. She asked about the creator of the drawing and all of the student had arrowed their fingers to me. I felt scared about her anger and claps. But she smiled and put her hand on my head and gripped my chick politely. She told me that I had an amazing talent of drawing pictures and without my knowledge she had noted my name in elementary drawing class in my school. I had joined the drawing class and started enjoying drawing. I was little perfectionist at that time, I always used more than 2 pencils and erasers in my compass box. I was talking a lot with my neighbor. One day our drawing teacher had changed my sit to another place as I was talking a lot with that girl. I had got new place of sitting and I became little quiet for that day.
" hey, do you have eraser?", my new neighbor asked me.
" yes, get it!", I offered her one eraser to her.
" I am harshad!", I told her.
"I know you, I am Payal", she replied me.
From that day we both became nice friends and started sharing our notebooks, lunch boxes, drawing books, umbrellas etc. She was from Jain family and always eating potatos from my lunch box but I didn't like her food from her lunchbox. She always told me to avoid blue color in my drawings. She liked green color and she was master in nature drawings. I was always busy in geometrical and character drawings. I had never tried to make portrait of any person, but she had made my portrait and showed me. I had begged it but she had not given me it was her first creation of portrait. My drawing teacher had given her a big chocolate for the picture. At exam time as usual I had got fever and could not attended the exams properly, so I got 'C' grade in result. But I was very happy with her result.
We were passing the exams for next standards and one day we reached in 10th standard. I was not taking too much interest in my studies and taken so much time in playing cricket. She was always angry on me for that activities. I can remember that one day she cried for my those activities. She had told me that she was worry about my result. I told her why she was taking too much interest in my activities. She had told me that I was her best friend and she had right to stop me for those activities. I had got the impact of her words and I had started studies, but it was quite late for that as only 23 days were left for board exams. But I had worked hard and attend the exams with positive attitude. After exams we met so many times and she had ever stated me that she was anxious about my results. She was very happy when the result had come as I had got very nice marks and I was in 11th standard. She had reached to school before me and knew my result before me. But we were separated from each other as I had chosen commerce stream and she had chosen science stream for further studies. She became busy with her studies and I was with my studies. Our meetings were being less as we both had come in higher secondary. But she was still interesting in my studies. Finally we reached at the last day of school, when we have to leave the school for joining the college. I met all my teachers who had taught us from 8th standard to 12th standard. After completion of meeting all teacher I was waiting for Payal as she was quite emotional on that day. She had become scholar of science stream of our school. She was coming with slow walk and continuously looking at me. I was also feeling very sad, even my eyes had started crying. Because my sixth sense was telling me that I will never meet my best friend after that day. She reached to me and stopped very near to me. Her big eyes were looking into my eyes but I was crying. She was looking at me very sincerely.
" May be this is our last meeting of this life. So I would like to tell you something.", her sound from throat was different than before.
" Tell me, whatever you want to tell me. I will listen all your talks. But pleas don't say it is our last meeting.", I was crying and told her.
"Don't cry, face the truth. I will go to Ahmedabad after our exams, as my father has transferred our business to it.", she replied with strong voice.
"We are good friends. You can write me letter after shifted to Ahmedabad.", I told her with stopping my tears.
"No, my family will not allow this. So it is the final talk between us.", She told me again with strong voice.
I was watching into her eyes and thinking she is so stronger than me. I was being weak with her talks.
" Tell me, what you want to tell me?", I asked her.
"Don't be careless about yourself. Whenever you will become careless about yourself, you will lose your important things from your life. Never cry in any situation, because tears are assets of women only. I was worry about you and your studies. But after this day God will take care of you. You are the most important person of my life and I am quite nervous about our farewell from this school. I have not told you that you are a good batsman and play well on cricket ground. I was ever watching your game whenever I had got free time. I had made your sketch while studying in 9th standard, if you have remembered that. I have store it very carefully in my suitcase. May be we will become very busy in our future life, but your sketch will memorized me our beautiful memories of our school days. Don't forget that you are the most important person for you and don't be careless for your self. I liked your food made by your mother. This is the last dairy milk chocolate for our this last moment of our school life and first moment of independent life. I will remember you ever while drawing pictures or any engineering drawing. So, find a good girl who will take care of you life time and walk with you on life path as life partner while college life. I wish you all the best." she had taken my hand in her hand and kissed on it.
I was watching her like a statue and listened all her words very carefully. I can write all the things here as I have a strong memory power in which this main event was stored before few years. I had taken the chocolate and given her lift to her home. After left her I felt very bad and could not balanced myself for that day. Today I had remembered her words for my life partner.
I have found my life partner in the lady who doesn't want to identify me as a known person. She is so different than my friend Payal. I will be reached at my end in future but my memories will never end.
I had studied and got new friends in college all was new but I had lost my best friend. I had left playing cricket after she had gone. Now all my best friends are there in my mind and memories. I can remember them but never meet them and that is my destiny.
I had never got good friends after my school and college life. During college life I had got two the most important persons of my life. They were Mallika and Tushar.They were also one of my best frind.
After so many years I had met the person whose place will be never taken by anybody in this universe, that is ......My "Madness". She is the lady for whom I can live in hell, as I will get heaven in her arms. She is the lovely lady who has stallen my heart and erased all the memories of my past friends.
But she is not talking with me and not accepting my love in her life. But she is the........ most important person of my life....!!!
