End of a chapter..

This weekend started with so much fun and ended with sorrow....i got the news ...a year too late....i lost my best friend from school last year...but i only came to know yesterday exactly 1yr 1 month after his demise..what a shame !!.
you must be thinking...how come i never knew this... if he was my best friend ?? its my mistake i lost the touch...i lost the connection...he was always there for me in school....helping me out...making me comfortable...we were always in touch untill he came to US....and then i got busy with my own life....so busy ...then last year he called me....after my birthday..and we chatted for almost an hour...i talked to him talked to aunty....his sister was getting married...and he was in India...he had met my brother in my home town got my number and called me...do people think so much about every acquaintance ???no only friends with heart of gold do...he always reminded me of what friends should be like...how can you be connected even if you are busy with your own lives...how you can make people smile....and above all...how to make people feel that somebody remembers you fondly...
I miss him..i miss him so much ...suddenly i feel there is no one to look back to my childhood...a chapter a beautiful chapter of my teenage is closed...a chapter where i played basket ball with him...ran around the court...had fun....laughed without pretence...
somebody whom i could look upto for advice.. somebody who would never ever decieve me...somebody who knew meaning of FRIENDSHIP so well...somebody who taught me to trust people again...with him learned that a girl and a boy can be friends and a friendship can be plutonic...
He had so many friends....and he took care of everybody....he never forgot birthdays...even if nobody wished him...a heart of gold..I cannot describe in words how unlucky i feel to loose such a friend..Girish I will never forget you...May your soul rest in peace...
