Our First Hang out….
Some of our fondest memories are about friendship and good times we share with special friends. Don't you from time to time think about sharing with your neighbors, your friend, your family members, your colleagues the joy that is in your heart..?? Recently I've had a wonderful experience which I would like to share.
I and my best friend Suman attended MS classes together. It's fun being around with her. We love hanging around, shopping and of course we do a bit of studying together. Both of us met Hari & Lakshman who happened to be in our class. We never realized how time took a serious look at our friendship. Four of us have been friends for last few months and 'Friends Forever' is the motto of our little group.
On 21st August we planned to have lunch together as hari and suman were treating us for their b'day. All of us met at 12:30 pm and then set for the lunch which was to be taken at "AANGAN"... a Punjabi local restaurant here in Bangalore. We sat together and ordered some starters. It was during this time that I was introduced to the pleasure that comes when we share time with new friends...time spent not doing anything in particular, but just being with people. We sat there for nearly 2 hrs enjoying the food and atmosphere and more importantly each other's company and conversation.
We had to depart after having the deserts. As we were ready to make a move Lakshman handed a gift to Suman. I was wondering what was wrapped in as a gift for her and out of excitement asked her to open the gift at that very moment. Hari wasn't agreeing with me... but I was very impatient and so forced Suman to open it. We were surprised after seeing the gift....it was a salwar of Sumans choice which we bought on 8th Aug from MG road along with Hari for her cousin (as told by him...).We never even guessed that he wanted to surprise Suman with this beautiful gift. We had accompanied Hari and Lakshman to Forum and then MG thinking that we were helping him in buying a gift for his cousin...but we were wrong. It was one of the sweetest gifts Suman could ever think of. Hari and Lakshman brought a feel that surprising someone this way makes a real huge difference. We departed with an appreciation of memories learning to value new friends.
Our friendship is relatively new, but has become important to all of us I believe I cherish the moments we had spent together and most important every time I think of it I'll think of our friendship.
