Anubhav, the Intruder..

We were very happy in ourselves untill Anubhav Agarwal started to plunge in.
It was for quite sometime that Anubhav was lurking around us. One day he came to me
and requested if he can join our group. I told him to wait a while as i have to
discuss it with all.
All of them came heavily on me as i raised the issue. I requested on behalf of Anubhav to let
him in. After a good amount of brainstorming the pumpkin was allowed to join us.
As the days passed i sniffed something wrong. Suharsh, my best friend, was getting closer
to Anubhav. They had a merger of stamps for philately reasons. That was also fine.
One day, while we were coming back from school, by our school bus, we got into a heated discussion.
The trio of Kritashva, Puneet and Suharsh-Anubhav took one side and i was forced on the other.
The debate turned into physical endeavour, as it happens in any presitigious gathering. No, i dont
want to hint any political grouping by that. Well, puneet slapped me two handfulls and i gave him a nice
bite. As Suharsh was also doing an SHM with me i gave an undamped high energy thrust on his face.He said--
as I remember, "Amit, now you see!!"

So from then we stopped even looking at each other.
Atleast fourty days passed without hearing a single word.

In the mean time Anubhav somehow managed to keep terms with me. He also expressed oneday-
"You see Amit, Suharsh is closer to me now!!"
That gave me a deep insight into my decision of supporting Anubhav's entry into our group.

It was very heavy for both of us, Suharsh and me, to not to be together.
Finally, one day, as i was packing my bag to leave for schoolbus, Anubhav came to me.
He said, "Suharsh wants to talk to you".
I wasn't sure about Anubhav's intentions.

In the bus, I saw Suharsh sitting alone. I went slowly and sat beside him.
Do you want to talk to me? I enquired.
He nodded.

hmm..remember tht episode. Now that you have put it in words, it's all refreshed! Seems strange when looking back (that was more than 12 years ago!)how all the childhood incidents, god or bad, seem so mellow. Miss those days!
