FRIENDSHIP DIARIES, PART 1

                                   
                                        N.S.S. HINDU COLLEGE, CHANGANACHERRY

 My story of friendship starts from the college you see up there.You may think- Why not a photo of friendship?.This time,the story is the king.

The year was 2006.It was a sunny day.As usual,I was in the library,munching and crunching my morning food.Do not mistake it for my breakfast.I meant the books.The books in the library always made me feel that I was eating them.After having my fill of books,I returned to the class.

In that dusty classroom,on a wooden chair, sat Vivek.P.,the person who would change my way of  looking at the world forever.He was of medium height and dark complexioned.''He is a new admission'' -said Premjith,one of my classmates.

''Vivek is the name'' - he told while extending  his hand, sizing me up.I,with a strange hair cut and a black jacketed criticism book,was not exactly Mahesh Babu material.I might have given him the creeps.

''You are from'' - kind of an ice breaker from me.From his look,it was more of a rock breaker.

''Ernakulam'' - He said in a rough tone.

 Even though it was not a grand first time meeting,I felt rejoiced by the prospect of  one more person to the fold.Besides,I got one more person to share the unfriendly wooden chair of Vanchinadu Express during  my morning trip.It was the starting of a blooming friendship.

How we started to stay as paying guests in a room in Chaganacherry and our process of growing up in that period in the next part.

                                                     See you in the next part.Wait for the real adventure.
