Friends

In the year 1977 my Mum started her FYBSc in chemistry where she had met some people and a small group of 10 people including guys and girls were created by the year 1978.

Zoom into future year 2008, that 10 people group is a now a massive gang of 40 people including spouse and kids. And they meet each other once in 2 months with all family members for a outdoor trip or a meeting at someone's place. If i think of such thing happening at today's time i find it very difficult to forsee it...

I have seen them fighting...bitching...but they kinda patch up without anyone saying sorry or forgiving.....in the end friends are friends....they are our second family.

Why am i writing this...friday aunt called us and said to come to their place as she has organised a get-together...and i am the one who never lets the chance pass by for meeting them. The reason for the get-together was that her daughter is gonna get engaged and we all are into inviting the guy into our group...first one....

It was 9 pm when the guy reached the place with the girl and group of kids were the cheerleaders into inviting him. So we had to hold a placard of his name and WELCOME into our group. He was dazed, bamboozled and other terms related to both. After that there was a small reception where the uncles, aunties and kids introducing themselves to the guy.....

Later the guy introduced himself to the whole lot of 40 people on what he does and how they met...it was an interview session. Later the uncles and aunts met him for some one on one or normal chit chat....

When i say my friends that i am going to meet my mom's gang and they say no way.....that is not possible...how are they connected to each other...what i have seen is that they don't interfere in each other's life. No grudges....plain fun....tease....pull legs....and there is one kind of atmosphere which is happy happy (thats the best way I can describe it) everyone laughing and also small arguments which keep on going from meet to meet....

Hoping this friendship never ends!!!! (touch wood)
