I have promised a friend of mine that this story will come as a blog here..its been months now n still I haven't progressed beyond a para...but today it seems I'll be able to upload it.
This is the story of Laalu n Kaalu.. story of thr friendship, thr communication n thr connection..spread over a span of thirteen long years... yeah thirteen years n yet they hv not been wid each other in person for even thirteen hours...
Shy Kaalu n timid Laalu joined a new school together in class XI. Same class, same subjects yet nothin beyond formal interaction....
Nxt yr Laalu moved to diff city...Yr went by...Laalu moved to another city after completing her high school..for the 1st time away frm family..lil enticed lil worried lil confused...trying to explore the world frm a new perspective...n thr she found a wonderful friend for life in her Roomie... Life was busy those days...classes, studies, and above all managing life on her own... One fine evening she went to nearby market for grocery. On the way back she saw Kaalu coming from the other side..'Kaalu', instantly she recognized n so did Kaalu...but both were too lazy or I shd say too ignorant to even say 'Hello' to each other..Time moved on..By this time, she knew that Kaalu lives somewhr nearby as they bumped into each other every now n then... Still thr was a wall of silence between them.
A year later Laalu parted from her Roomie and joined another college. But destiny had something else in store...Kaalu n Roomie landed in the same college...Since Rommie had been wid Laalu for most of her grocery trips, she knew who Kaalu is.. Immediately they became friends..Now Roomie was the link between Kaalu n Laalu.. It was NOW that they were named as 'Laalu' n 'Kaalu' by each other.
Their news flew to each other through set of common friends.
Four years of College passed by and both joined different school for Post Graduation...Laalu got busier n started interacting less wid Roomie...a year later Roomie joined Laalu's B-school and they became roomies once again... Roomie was still in touch wid her college friend 'Kaalu' in cyber-world...One fine day, they decided to group-chat...this was for the 1st time 'Kaalu' n 'Laalu' were actually interacting...slowly the frequency of group-chat started increasing and soon it was only Kaalu n Laalu talking to each other...Swiftly few minutes of chat seesions became day long chat sessions. They nvr thot they'll get along so well n become such a good friends....
By the end of 3rd Semester both started preparing for their campus.. By this time both were hooked to system for atleast 7-8 hrs a day...talking abt every damn hour.. life was fun for both of them... That May, Laalu n Kaalu had to join their respective job in diff cities.
Corporate life comes wid its own challenges...thr interaction became less n less...1.5 yrs passed by like this. One day Laalu got the opportunity to visit Kaalu's city for a day to attend her cousin's wedding. Bingo!! After 11 years they'll get a chance to meet each other...
Then the final day came...Laalu n Kaalu were sitting right in front of each other...not even for a sec they felt tht they were long distance friends and nvr sat wid each other face to face. They chat non-stop as if ol' friends hv reunited after ages. However the meeting was quite short...Laalu's flight was after 2 hours so she had to leave...
This year coincidently Kaalu was in Laalu's town on a day after her B'day. He had almost 6 hrs to b wid her.. Laalu decided to drop office n meet him...This was thr 1st long reunion. As anticipated they had super fun time...
Time moved on...Kaalu got busier n Laalu also got lost in her world.... Almost 2 yrs later Kaalu agn visited Laalu's town..This time they met at the Airport for abt an hr... Every time they meet each other they updated each other abt themselves, they reminiscse thr chat sessions, thr meets and not to forget count thr hrs of being in front of each other...
Next time the gap between thr meets was less than 6 months and the venue once agn was 'Airport'...
Till now they hv been wid each other in person for around 11 hrs, yet the emotional connect they share is very strong and deep.
Both of them kno tht they r FRIENDS FOR LIFE.... I hope they meet agn very soon...n this time for a longer time....
