Pre 1st year drama

The last post had a normal happy ending with things beginning to fall in the right place. For me those days started becoming the best days of my life. After the boards exam I went to Dehradun to join Aakash coaching classes at Ballipur chowk branch. I joined the classes there and started staying as a paying guest. It was the first time that I was living somewhere outside my hometown. It was a crash course that I joined in April and was scheduled to end around 22nd April. It was a short time for preparing for AIEEE and since my basics were all shaken up, it was not at all an easy task. Also with me in the same batch was Soheb and that was also one facotr which made my mind up to join coaching in Dehradun. My physics literally sucked big time and the other subjects were not showing good numbers. The faculty there was not at all bad. Although to understand what the chemistry sir was speaking was fairly difficult and the maths sir's class went drooling most of the time. The class which stood out was of physics. The teacher who taught physics is the best ever I've been taught by. The guy taught superbly and helped me quite a lot to improve. My class timings at Aakash was from 6'O clock in the morning to 1:30 PM. Those were pretty long hours that I spent there. Well as you know studying was never the most fun part for me but still I gave it my best shot.

I started staying as a pg with a very nice family. The people were really nice to me. Staying there became very easy because of their splendid behavior. The food there was excellent and I started relishing home-cooked meals more and more from my stay there. My room was quite comfortable and it was some really nice time that I spent there. I used to wake up early and go for class. Had lunch on returning back which used to yummy. Studying a bit in the evening and then maybe a walk around with Soheb and his cousin.

The best part of my day in those days used to be talking to Komal. Seriously my heart never felt so full before. I was definitely very happy. I arranged a sim for her with Sharma's help and used to talk to her everyday in the evening. Literally that was the one thing that got me going. Most of the time the day we both used to be chatting through messages. Things felt so awesome.

With time my stay in Dehradun came to an end and the AIEEE exam took place on 24th April I guess. It went fine, better than it would have if I had not attended the crash course.
At home my Tau ji and Tai ji joined us as Tai ji was undergoing treatment. It was nice I got to interact a lot with Tau ji and Tai ji.

With Komal things were going pretty smooth. Chatting at nights, talking in the evening and messaging whole day. Some time later don't remember why but she returned the sim and we started talking less. We used to talk with another number she had.
Things were getting along fine......it was June as I remember.....I was thinking of getting Komal something very good for her Birthday on 6th July. In the second half of June it so happened that she had gone to Chandigarh. She was there and we talked on her number for close to an hour and a half. Now with roaming charges that summed up to a noticeable amount and then as I came to know her father got to know about us. Now there was a speculation, her mom which seemed agreeing to her being in a relationship didn't seemed so that much now. We didn't talked for a long time. No chatting...nothing.

While this was going on my Boards result came out and I managed to pass in the 1st division. Not to great result from my expectations and soon the AIEEE result came out. The AIEEE rsult also was not too great and admission time was getting started.
Also those days I got to meet Nikki didi (Tau ji's elder daughter). I didn't knew much about her then but later we interacted pretty well. Nikki didi that had to go to Chandigarh for an exam and I went with her. I hadn't been to Chandigarh much and was quite impressed by the city.

It was a very complicated situation for me in life. I had lost what I thought was love. I was not eligible for any good college. My parents tried their level best to get me into any reputed institute on a management seat but it was not to much avail. Finally after lots of traveling and headaches I was to join NIET in Noida. The college campus even though did not impressed me any bit but what could have I done. My parents came to Noida to make sure I am comfortable. I got a hostel room 216 with a guy Bhupinder.
Next was my first day in college. 1st lecture was of physics and before it started few seniors gushed in the classroom. They told us to keep our hair as short as possible and to wear white shirt black pants combo. It was very new to me and I am an adaptable person but something did not felt right there. Maybe I wasn't met to be there. I told my brother and he told my parents. My parents took a heck lot to get me to a college in Roorkee only.

The college definitely was far better that the one I was in earlier. My parents made sure I got admission and I now became COERian. It seemed bit familiar not because it was in my hometown but because it had many faces of my life like Manik, Sharma, Tushar and deadliest of'em all Komal. I got computer science there and also a hostel room, 424 I think. But soon I shifted with Rishabh Kathuria whom I met during Aakash coaching in room no. 423.

I had no idea how things were going to unfold with Komal being in the same college but I was not thinking about her. I was hopeful to get better of the place I was. Scared from the seniors and excited to meet my new class mates. College life had begun.......

12th : The end of an era......

Its been almost an year since my last post......so am back writing on.......

Something that I missed in my previous blog about a very good friend Gurbani who is not only very sweet but also a great poetess. In fact we started interacting only because of our common interest and skill of writing poems. I posted one on a community on orkut and she scrapped me with reference to it. Then with time and interaction we became great friends. Gurbani wrote some amazing poems and I still believe she has a great talent. We both used to chat quite a lot during the 11th and 12th time period but that unfortunately got stuck somewhere during college time. I had the chance of meeting her at the end of 2009 but more on that later.

12th class well wasn't that special as I thought it would be. After what I had gone through in that one month period was like torture and so the day I went back to my class it felt different. I had a strange feeling, a feeling of revenge. Not many people were happy to see me return. Some who were were my good friends.
12th is a big class.....last year of school.....board exams......AIEEE etc. It was quite obvious that it was not gonna be easy with all the pressure of studies and with it some emotional imbalance. You know liking some one is a very bad thing at times. You don't see any thing and just walk down a path which is unknown. I was already not doing great in my studies and adding to my woes was my liking towards Komal. I was naive and thought it was more than just liking. We both used to chat every night mostly. Each time she shared her problems with me, I thought am becoming an important person in her life. Never saw it coming that those problems were so so unreal and fake. I mean seriously when I saw her I used to think of her as a simple and polite girl. What I never saw was the psychotic problem with her of sympathy gaining using made-up instances. She even went ahead to say that she is a heart patient and won't live long enough to make it to college. And I like a big dumb person believed her.
She never stopped making up stories. There was a time when I understood that she is faking it all up as it was not at all possible. But dipped in my attraction I believed she'll change and put an end to her stories.

One bad thing with me was that I never listened to my friends' advice, whether it was my friend Soheb warning me about Komal or Komal herself saying that I should not be getting into these things. I should've seen what Soheb was trying to show me about Komal.

While these things were going on school life was going fine. I was trying not to repeat my previous performances but the results still were not great. One things I did this time was not to miss tutions and I guess that's what made me cross the line in the end.
In school I used to be fun with friends. And it was like a repeated telecast of 11th with couples sitting together and me waiting to catch a glimpse of Komal in the recess. I was suffering from 'First timer's syndrome' which I discovered in college. It was the first time I was attracted towards a girl and so the level was quite high. In classes I used to pay attention and study with equal doses of fun.
Also in 12th played football after a long time and saw the return of my sliding capability. It was great fun. My last few football matches and I was not bad.

After school and tutions was the time I still cherish a lot. Nescafe or Solani, it always was great to spend some time there. It was mostly this time of the day that I used to feel very light and relaxed. Out with Soheb as Sharma had gone to Delhi and Tanmeya too went to college. So it used to be Soheb and me going around the streets of Roorkee. When it used to rain we used to go out for a ride on the long road besides Solani river. I know it didn't do great for my marks but those moments made me alive.

Nights used to begin with work out and end with chatting online. Also used to talk to Sharma quite regularly. I stayed most connected with Soheb, Sharma and Komal during this time.
Talking to Komal made me happy which used to be short lived everyday as she had a bundle of fake despairing incidents to share.
Also during 12th I became friends with Anshul Saini. Soheb, Saini and myself used to go out tripling at time but that happened quite rarely.

On 29th Sept. as I remember I proposed to Komal while chatting on the net. Well she denied and we continued talking as friends. Chatting everyday I thought she has started to understand me but that proved wrong in the later run. Also there were incidents with some fake ids by the name of suyash which as Komal said used to send her vulgar e-mails. I tried to sort it out but while doing that I noticed that those e-mails were written in a fashion resembling to the way Utkarsh talks. I knew it was just someone trying to cause a ridge b/w our friendship.

Now after the pre-boards it was the time for the much awaited Farewell. The Farewell went fine and the after party sucked at some level. Everyone was looking great and it was something I had waited for. I still remember I got there with Soheb and Anuj. When we reached there the principle Bro. George was livid for us being so late. Something that had happened before too. But in the end all went well. Lots of photos were clicked and the performances were good. Shashank's poem was extra-ordinary.
Soheb, Saini and myself got together after the farewell and made a compilation of all the pictures and videos of the farewell from everyone. We made DVDs and distributed them to as many people we could. It was a nice complilation and even though I had a part to play in the compilation, I for now don't have those pics.
Then came the Boards practicals which went fine.....u know the thing with practicals. After that some of the students including me had to give a second pre-boards as the first didn't go well for us. The second one went good and we were now looking at board exams.
It was Feb and in in lies some vicious days known by the name of Valentine week.
3 days before Valentine's day Komal told me that all the wrong going on with her life has finally sorted out and so I also started to believe that finally the stories have ended. I was very happy that now at least we will have more to talk than to console her for unrealistic problems like her grand parents trying to kill her and all that. Also that day she told me that a guy from School Shantanu has proposed her and she said no. On Valentine's day I did the same and answer was the same. I got ok with it and well started preparing for boards.
Now on 26th Feb, Komal's friend Upasana told me that Komal also has feelings for me and wanted to chat tonight. So I was very excited and was eagerly waiting.
It was past midnight when she told me that she Love me and boy I can't express what it meant for me. 2 years I've been waiting for this moment and it was finally there. It was like a dream and am very thankful to Komal for providing me that short moment of happiness. Amazing it is when you get something you have dreamt about.

Boards began from 1st March with Chemistry exam......don't really remember how well it went. Boards went fine with the dreaded physics exam. Few things happened before that exam too.
Boards finally ended and I joined coaching at Aakash institute in Dehradun. It was a crash course for preparation for AIEEE and JEE. I used to talk to Komal every day now and that time used to be the best time of the day for me.

12th went just fine for me. Soheb and Sharma became the best support for me. Komal became an important part and by the end of 12th I started thinking am living a fairytale. It was the best ending to that class as I thought. Never thought that what lied ahead was equally ugly.
Life had been pretty normal but now the twists and turns have started which help me build emotionally a lot. There were good times and now was time for the bad ones.
But all that in the next post.
Till then take care.

11th : I fall to rise again

Its been quite some time since I've written or posted anything on this blog. What can I say, life have been busy or maybe I've been sloppy.

The tale continues after the results of 1th were out but juss before that a mentioning of my brother.
My brother was really very fat back then. He was around 120 kgs nd everybody used to taunt nd say things nd all. He did 1 thing which is like the 8th wonder. He lost 50 kgs (can u believe that). He got slim nd I was still plumpy so the targets shifted more on me. But well I was busy too wid things so didn't had much time for it. After 10th exams it was going to be a long vacations. So I started working out with my bro. And then after a lot of sweat nd running I finally started to loose weight.

During Dua sir's tution I was not yet slim nd had fat quite a lot on my body. So in summers also to hide my fat I used to wear a denim jacket nd believe it got very hot under it. Some guyz there even joked on me for that but I ignored all.
I got better from before when skools re-opened. Still not perfektly slim but improvements were genuine. In skool it got tough with change in subjects. Though I didn't got the subjects I wished for but not sad with the consolation prize. With more subjects came more tutions. With more tutions it got hard to work-out netym in day. So I started working out arnd 11. It wasn't a great thing cuz at home everyone scolded for it. But believe me I can do anything but not wake up early. It was juss exams I cud manage to keep my eyes open in mornings. It was taking some toll on my body, less sleep nd incomplete assignments but had some determination for it.

In 10th only it happened that Ankit, Arpit nd others formed a yahoo group "Youth of Roorkee".Well it had 11 members a s I remember namely - Ankit, Arpit, Vidur, Sakshi, Dhruv, Komal, Shubh, Varun, Vinnie, Vishal nd myself. It was great group nd we had lots of fun there. Conference chatting, fliriting a bit nd great sharing. But certain events took place nd in an attempt to beter it I spoiled the party nd ruined it. Felt gravely bad. Lost lot of trust nd respect too. Sometimes there r things we do which we can't re-pay even if we want to.

I got to Orkut in 11th nd tried to continue the group there but it didn't worked nd crash nd burn.
On orkut life got different.Didn't knew wht I was getting into then but it seemed so good to socialize. It became a permanent thing nd devloped lot more intrest in dat.

In 11th my friends incresed nd they became my life-long best friends. Manik was in my class only but not Dhruv. In my class there were juss 5 girls in the begining - Alpana, Trisha, Ayushi, Mallika nd Surbhi. But later in 12th Alpana got back to St. Anns nd Ayushi left the skool. But well not much regret on that cuz had a great list of buddies.

Also in 11th, 1 year senior to me Shubham Sharma (from the first post), Tabish nd Tanmeya became my friends. They r some friends which I have still nd will be there forever I hope. It was in skool only when one day Sharma nd Tabish came to my class. Sharma nd myself knew each other as has seen each othr in badminton field only. So we both kind of struck a spark of friendship. If I have to describe Sharma ever then I would juss smile. He has a tremendous sense of humour. The best till date I've seen.

In 11th I started with my friends Prakhar, Abhay, Manik nd Utkarsh. Utkarsh again is a jolly humorous feelow. A lot different than I was. He used to listen to hard rock nd I wasn't pretty comfortable with it. We both became great buddies in quick tym. Uski saale ki harkatey bhi ajeeb hi hoti thi. Mast chillax banda. Uske saath IIT mein bahaut Activa daudaya hai. It was first few times I was out of house enjoyin in the open air.
Time ke saath sabse dosti bhadi nd we all rocked in class. Bahaut masti taari. Fultoo mazze kiye. Though somewhere some things got different nd difficult like with Dhruv in the other section. He stopped coming home. Used to talk occasionaly nd dint really like much of my other friends group. We both sort of started gettin apart. Then he fell for a girl Mallika Rathore. Though I alwayz didn't approved of his choice. Told him to think again about it but he didn't.

Then there was another thing which happened. My bro's best buddy Arjun bhaiya came bak on vactions as he was studying abroad so he was rarely here. Since he was here I interacted quite lot with him nd it was good knowing him. He came to skool nd then after meeting principal he was invited to take some class on personality devlopment. He did those classes nd the skool became a fan of his nd so was I.

Its 1 day when he was a t skool nd I didn't go to skool dat day but came to skool later to pik him up. Also that day another event took place which was that 3 girls of my class went for a whole day bunk nd dat was a big thing since they were girls. There was a lot controversy on it too but thats not what we r worrying abt. So I was there at skool nd after a long tym I felt for a girl. I was attracted to the girl's nature so much that I thgt I was in love. Ofcourse it was not long when my friends too discovered about it nd started teasing me. I din't knew she knew it or not but I really used to like seeing her everyday. Dhruv was knew her better nd he knew that I liked her too but I didn't knew that she liked someone else.

It so happened in September 2006 that she proposed that guy nd the guy said yes. I was quite bit Shattered by it. My exams in September went the worst. First time I had a resul with failing in 4 subjects. I was not that bad in studies but I didn't concentrated on it at all. It was all my fault. I lost it in October month nd did few things am not really writing about. Certain events took place. Fights took place. Nd strangely I didn't realized my mistake. Not only I didn't saw I was fightin wid my best friend but never saw that I was being partial to my friendship. I did bad things nd resluts were we both never remained friends.
Class divided between him nd me. I never talked with him again till few days back in summer of 2010.
Those events were my worst decisions nd I paid for them. Still breaks my heart that I did something like that but happy that I paid for it later.

In November the girl I liked suffered a broke up nd I used to chat all the whyl with her on the net. Though I alwayz knew dat she was lying to me about many things but I really liked her so ignored all of it nd our chats continued to late nights.

Meanwhile Utkarsh reduced hanging out with me cuz his results got pretty bad too nd he got on to studying. That time I usually was out with Sharma, Tabish nd Tanmeya at Solani with bun-omellete in hand in the evenings. Had some best time there sitting, talking, laughing nd relaxing.

Sharma became the one guy who then knew abt my chats nd evrythin which was goin on. He was the person I used to talked to nd also a friend I made through him, Shruti. Well both were kind of counciler to me. I didn't had somebody at home with whom I cud've shared all that nd so Sharma became my best buddy.

Not to miss 1 guy in skool who not only is a great person but has the best advice everytym. Soheb Malik, a guy I still think am lucky I have as a friend. He was with me on my activa most of the tym roaming around the streets of Roorkee. We both became friends skool nd then with tym the best buddies. We both together joined Options4u for C++ coaching. We both bunked more than we attended classes. We both spent a lot evenings at Solani eating Bhatia's Bun-omellete. Some times Sharma nd party too joined in. Nescafe became our adda nd there wasn't one evening we didn't went there. Itni ice tea Nescafe @ IIT-R ki kissi ne nahi pi hogi jitni hum dono ne. It became more nd more familiar spending time there. The guyz at nescafe started rem us nd it became a lot friendly. We were there every day. Nescafe is again an inseprable part of me nd my lyf. Soheb is a buddy without whom my 11th nd 12th wud've been incomplete.

In 11th during class all friends were alwayz there to protect nd support. Abhay, Prakhar, Utkarsh, Bharat nd others. All r like precious fractions of my soul.
Every friend of mine is in my soul forever nd will alwyz be even if we don't talk much.

Later that year my exam results went bad to worse. Nd then came 11th finals.

29th March I guess it was nd I recieved the biggest shock I cud have ever recieved.
My parents were that time in that class room where the results where being given nd my class teacher wrote the deadly word on my report card "Detained". I saw that nd all the blood in my body seemed to be rushing only to my brain. I lost conciousness nd was about to fall. It was nd is the biggest shock I've ever faced in my life. It was a black day for me. I had let my parents down. I had let myslef down. I was shattered. I wanted to die.
I didn't knew what wud happen. Returning home I went to Sharma's place nd he too was shcoked by the result. Then I had a call from Soheb. Soheb had the same reslut as mine nd I was sad as I thgt it was partly my fault too. Soheb was crying nd it was the first time I heard him cry. He was at Solani nd was sayin me to come over nd said he wanted to die. I rushed there with Sharma nd Tabish also reached there. They were there nd talked to him. Well it was very hard to cope from that. But he got back to his senses then after. Tabish went wid Soheb to drop him home nd I came back to my house.

That year in 11th a lot of students have failed nd so a special exam was held for those failing in only 2 exams. But since I was failing in 4 so I was detained. My parents helped me in that time nd talked to the principal. Since in the grand total I was failing in 2 subjects so I was given the opportunity to give that special paper nd so did happen with Soheb.

My parents are like God to me nd that I realized in those days. They didn't scolded me but inspired me to improve. I was shattere dat that time but they were the ones who never lost a piece of me. They were my back nd seeing that I studied wid most concentration. Those days I studied like an IITian. I had let my parents down nd have to rise again from the fall. Few of my friends were there for me including Sharma, Tanmeya, Tabish, Bharat nd Soheb. Others also cared but that month was a hard going. I was failing in physics nd computer. I read the abc of physics like never before nd took lessons of c++ at Yogesh sir's tution nd he brought out the programmer in me. But it was not my aim then, it was the exams on 23rd nd 24th.
I gave those exams nd passes with flying colours. Though I did great but the satisfaction still was not there. Had a lot to get bak which was lost.

It changed me completely - 11th class. I learnt a lot from it nd since then I kno that failiures can hurt but teaches u a lot. Never be disheartened but put in efforts to bounce back towards success. I now had the strength to face failiures nd so defeat it.

12th is an important class to as it was last year in the skool.......

9th and 10th : up and down

Continuing with my blog........sorry for the delay........

Finally it was 9th class........the class from which I started to step up on the stairs of life. Studies started to show their dark colours. The subjects were the same but the matter and their questions got tougher.Toughest subject for me was physics in science and also mathematics the best chance to score. Rashid Ali taught us physics and it was the worst time in class. everybody get their ear high to actually hear what that man is actually saying. Mystery was that class and so did physics started becoming for me. Biology Lab was the most toughest lab for me and well I did my best in making it worst. Though our teacher Vasundhra ma'am of the lab taught quite well but the onion peel never came off properly. Still well not big problem.

I started to loose myself in studies. I studied but with time things showed deplement. Questions in exams now began to haunt me and I was all sweaty trying to think with lack of answers . I did bad and the results came much more bad. It was this time when actually my performance and results started to differ. Not many people know it was this class I actually had been on the failiure mark in my report card but managed to pass as I was on line. Well that was not yet the final exams. They came much worse for me. Managing to pass on them I had a small come back.

Fights happen......enemies for. Well I never wanted one but got one. Gaurav Arora as I mentioned in my last post. Both of us didn't share pretty good terms. Well he was not bad at studies just his attitude wasn't right to others and me. I was fat.......very fat then. So he made fun of me a lot which infact was his arrows being shot. I gave a small but effective reply to them. First time in my life I used my writing quality and wrote a poem on him and his attitude. It pissed him off and well we both got bad with time. I wasn't that good at fighting but never was afraid to fight anyone thought no physical fight ever took place between Gaurav and me just a cold war. Groups formed and we both didn't usually talked. Dhruv also hated him as much as I did or maybe he pretended that in front of me and my elder brother and others.
Dhruv and me remained quite good friends in 9th and 10th. 10th class started pretty bad for me. It was the stepping stone of life-II . The first one was 9th. In the internal examination the trend was to give less marks to student so that he/she works more hard to score a rank in boards. Well I got a little discouraged but then I had to keep up with studying. I studied and no good happened in pre boards. Not failing but marks were not at all good.

Came the Board examinations. Scared like hell I was though I was prepared enough to do good. The exams went really good. I thought I did pretty well in them. I was happy and now was the party time as the results came in 2 months. But also in the vacations had to join tutions to prepare for 11th as it is the toughest class of the whole academic period. So I joined Dua sir's tution for Chemistry. There few people I met not knowing that any of them might stay longer. Navdeep well used to study there and was from some other school than mine. He was one ofthe best studing there. I was too not bad and did well there to learn organic chemistry.

Things went smoothly till came the 10th board results and I stayed awake whole night with Dhruv, Anuj and my brother. The reults came and my heart broke to pieces. I had scored much less than what I had actually done. 69 in english c'mon I was worth much more. 84 in maths, I knew my blunders in it. 74 in Science......I lost that battle.

I had applied for Bio-maths as my first option for subjects and maths-comp as 2nd option. I required 80% in Science and maths combined. I scored 79% and I saw my name in the bio-maths group of students. But whta happened then that I did it from maths computer.......what happened that my life took some serious turns............my life's biggest turning point was class 11th........wanna kno why then wait for the next post..........

6th,7th and 8th......carryin on'em some weight

Hello there to everyone. Hope u enjoyed my first post of "It's been my life....."
Here I am with the continuing part of it and also my 2nd post.......hope u like it too.

The class 6th started with a new spirit as I had scored my highest score in 5th class annual exams by scoring 90%. I still remember that day when I came in through the gates of the senior section and was walking on the pebbled path to a new world. I didn't knew where my class was......6th A. Walking on the pebbled path I heard a friendly noice and I looked above. Arpit was there on the 2nd floor saying the class is up here. Seeing the face of my best friend in 5th on the first day of 6th class.......seemed lucky....cases went a bit different.

The class started and the class teacher was none other than Vibha mam. Well seats were changed and arranged according to mam's wish. I got to seat with Shubh and Arushi. Shubh, a cricket star of the school and one of the coolest kid, and Arushi, well a quite girl and was a genius when it came to drawing. I faced a bit compliocations with Arushi and never really interacted with Arushi neither did Shubh did much interaction. As a result, Shubha and myself became friends......good friends.
Once there was a competition b/w the three of us that whos has the best and worst handwriting and guess who had the worst.......yes of course me. This remained my problem for long time and is still is.

It has been a problem in our school.......girls don't talk much with boys and neither did boys with girls. So healthy interactions didn't took place at least for some time.

Everything went fine everywhere but one place I was in different situation......it was the computer lab. Lab partners were two kids with consecutive rool numbers. The roll number after me was of Ms. Ayushi Jain, the most sexiest girl of the class and also not a big talker like me. So when it came to working on the computer it became a bit difficult to work for both. We were studying basic and have to make its programmes. So it was she doing the programme first.....then saying that I'm done now u can do it........and then I making the same programme. Pity me or lucky me......whatever to say others enjoyed my situation.

7th class came and this time seats went like we wanted it to be. My seat mates were Rajat Luthra and Shubh now. We were one good,enjoying and studying unit of class. We became the bestest buddies. Also I made some good friends which I never knew would be life long friends......the friends like everyone wants. One of them is Prakhar, pure computer genius. He made those basic programmes fastest in the class. He was my lab partner for 7th and 8th I think.

Also Bharat became my friend. Ab Bharat bhai ki kya tareef karoon sab hi jante hai unhe toh. Bharat was a little fat like me. Infact he was the one before me in the list.

(Rest if am not able to remember anyone then am sorry but I will surely write about u later.)

Class 7th went quite fine. In school and at home too. My tution teacher now was Subodh Jain sir. One of the best teacher I've ever been taught by. He taught me all the subjects. He used to come to my house to teach me. He is a family friend as he first taught my elder brother and now was teaching me.

After class 7th Shubh went to Cardiff in England with his dad.
In class 8 th Rajat and me used to sit together and with us used to join up any of my friend. Bharat in 8th class introduced me with Dhruv. Dhruv, Tall and smart.....he looked like Salman Khan a bit to me but his body was in no comparison to that of Salman.
Dhruv used to live near my house and was friend with Naman bansal also. So we three became kind off friends. In case of Dhruv and me we both were hardcore friends. One of the best friendships I had in school. I knew we had a long way to go in life.
Dhruv,Naman and me started going to school together on cycle. We three on our way returning used to enjoy sugarcane juice to help us stay cool in the heat.

In 8th class an event happened and that was I becoming the monitor of the class. With me was Rajat as my monitoring partner. I was good with everyone but with one person it got bad and he was Gaurav Arora. Gaurav and me became kind of enemy with his name always on my complaint list and he irritating me. His seat changing tendency irritated me as I wanted the class to be completely disciplined. My class not liked me for my strictness. I guess I went way too far in making class good.

Dhruv and me started going to a ground close to our house together to talk with the wind. There I told him about my first crush Mona Mishra and he told me about his first crush Devika Kir.......whom I didn't liked because of the Vidur-Shaurya fight. I always told him that I never liked Devika but he knew that he'll change my thought about her. He wasn't able to as they changed themselves later.

8th class ended on good note with me having many friends and good Annual scores. Dhruv used to visit me at my house almost everyday and we talked a lot. My elder brother also became Dhruv's good friend.
Dhruv and me had the best friendship which later will make things go around and confusing a lot.

So this was the 2nd part of the journey when I covered 3 yrs of life with great fun unknowing the things ahead. Things now started getting serious..........in studies.

My Life : The begining part

Hi Everybody, this is my first blog and first post. Am not a very good writer but still am presenting to u all with my life. I hope u all like it.

I've been very lucky to be born with parents like I have. They have been with me always and a part of my life too. They are the most respectful for me.......even more than God. They are my God.

The beginning part of my life came from both my school life and the life at home.

At home I was the most cared person being the youngest being in the family. We stayed on rent at Ambar Talab in Roorkee.In the same house used to stay my best friend Manik with his family.
There I had a lot friends including Manik, Paras bhaiya (Manik's elder bro), Nanu bhaiya(my elder bro :D ), maanu and his little sister, Shiva and his elder sister Isha didi etc.

The etc word has been attached to my life since then only.

In school I was a kind of a studious shy boy making friends which include only boys as till class 4th there weren't any girls in my class. Even when they came in 5th it didn't made much difference to my friends list.......it still had all boys.

I loved everybody around and they all loved me too. I being a good will nature, smiling, studious and after 4th class a bit fatty kid made a lot friends in school and that has been with me every time and everywhere. I made a lot of friends wherever I go which always have some most favorite ones. That time they were Manik, Anshul, Arpit and Vidur. My all friends are my fav but some just a bit more.

I had a wish then and that was to be someone in the class like if someone is asked about other other kids of the class they have something good to say for me.
That time I used to consider Arpit as my cousin because my bua ji was his neighbor whom he called his aunt and so I started thinking him as my cousin which he wasn't really. He also once met with an accident when he fell from some height and got hurt. I cried very badly after that for quite some time.

My 5th class had many memorable incidents. Like my seat mates Arpit and Vidur. We three had awesome time studying and having fun.
Once in 5th class an incident happened. I came to know through Anshul Malhotra (my very very good friend) that Ishan (The most notorious kid of the class then) was going to throw stones at other kids during the games period. So to fail his plan and become a hero in eyes of other I planned to stop him by throwing stones at him. The stone fight took place.......nobody got hurt but the worst part was that I was convicted of the whole of it. The teacher in charge of class slapped me hard for it.

Also in 5th class girls entered my class first time and which as was expected led to the first fight b/w two of my friends. The fight was b/w Vidur and Shaurya and they both drifted apart after that at least for few years. The reason for the fight was their common liking of a girl and the bitching done by one of her friend. I started hating both of them after that even though that girl was the prettiest girl of the class. Her friend left the school after that year and so did my first crush of my life, Mona Mishra. I think I really liked her then.......the most when it came to girls. Though I knew nothing of Love then. Now if I really have a chance I would love to meet her. (I actually came across her through Orkut & we met too once. It felt really great sharing with her this fact that she was my first crush. She is married now & I wish her all the happiness in the world.)

I remember all my teachers of Primary section - Neenu mam, Promila Sharma mam, Rohini mam, Kalra mam, Bansal mam, Joy sir, Saket sir, Sangita mam, Sentina mam, Kum Kum Tiwari mam, Badrinath mam and Seema mam. I am writing this because once Kum Kum mam said that all kids when reach 12th forget abt primary section teachers and never mention their name in the farewell speech. Mam I wanted to say sorry that I failed to say the speech and so am apologising through this. I will always remeber every teacher not because I have to but b/c every teacher is so loving I can't afford forgetting love of urs.
My fav teacher at school -- Badrinath mam and Kum Kum Tiwari mam.
It was only because of Kum Kum mam that I was able to score 48 in my school exams.

Also not to forget here the reason for my highest stand in exams which came in 5th class as 90% marks was none other than my tuition teacher Rainu mam. She taught me all subjects. She was strict. I still remember her beating and slaps. But I was her fav student and always proved her right. I have quite a lot been a favorite student among tuition teachers. I loved to be.

Till 5th class life wouldn't have been possible without Reena didi. She took care after me in the house. More than anyone she knew about my books, copies and uniform etc. I was very dependent on her, even when she was getting married and her vidaai was going on, I asked her about my drawing copy. She is the best (and always will be for me).

My brother well what to say.....he is fun loving like me. We both played a lot with Manik and Paras bhaiya. We both used to play games on "Media". He in the beginning done have much part but later he has big parts playing and so was with my mom and dad who both are doctors........busy life they had. I loved visiting our hospital which was located very much inside the market place. That place changed when I was 7 yrs old and we shifted to Ramnagar. New house, new Hospital.......things changed a bit. I used to go to school either with my dad on car or with Charan Singh Bhaiya in auto. Charan Singh Bhaiya used to do night duty at our hospital at the reception and used to write patient numbers till late night and early mornings......one of the most loyal and simple person.

In 5th class I used to go to IIT for training in Badminton........ There I first time met Shubham Sharama and thought of him as just another person of the world. Then I had never thought that any day he will become my very best friend.

I have a problem.......I mix up with things and get jumbled up so if I have forgotten to write something here I'll add it up with the coming chapters of my life.
