    Your childhood best friends - are you still connected?

    During the childhood many of us had friends and a few of them or one of them as very close friend. The bond of friendship during that phase of life is very strong and we engage in so many activities together and had a happy time that we still remember as childhood memories. With passage of time children start going to different schools, colleges, and finally to other places in pursuit of career and separate from their friends. Some keep in touch while some due to various other engagements and busy schedules do not remain in touch. Life goes like that.
    Did you have such friends during your school or college life? Are you still in touch? Have you sometimes met them and remembered all those old beautiful days? Please share your experiences.

    Reading your post made me really think about my childhood friends. Yeah, I had a few very close friends when I was younger. We used to do everything together - play, study, and share all our secrets. It's true what you said about those friendships feeling so strong. I guess when you're kids, you don't think about the future much, just the fun you're having right then.

    But as we grew up, we all went our separate ways. Some of us moved to different cities for college or jobs, and slowly, we didn't keep in touch like before. I miss them a lot sometimes. There are days when I see something that reminds me of the fun times we had, and I wish we could go back to those days, even if just for a moment.

    I haven't seen some of my childhood friends in years, but your post has made me want to reach out to them. Maybe I'll try to reconnect and catch up on where life has taken us. It would be great to share those old memories and see if we can make new ones. It's made me nostalgic but also hopeful about rekindling old friendships.
    Regards,

    Sunil

    I have 3 friends like that. We four studied together from 6th Class to Intermediate. After intermediate, we went to different colleges to do different courses. But we are all in touch with each other. Again one of them joined the AUin Geology department and I joined in Chemistry department. After education, we joined in different jobs. But we are in touch with each other. One of them stays very near to my house in Hyderabad and we meet often. Another person is in Visakhapatnam and he stays very near to my brother's house. So whenever I go to Vizag or he comes to Hyderabad we meet each other. The fourth person is in Delhi. Once in a while, he comes to his brother's house in Hyderabad and whenever he comes we will meet each other.
    Once in a while, we four will plan a trip to our native place. All of us, speak to each other regularly and be in touch. Whenever we meet, we will go back to our school days and feel happy.

    I want to mention that recently I found one of my schoolmate active in facebook. I could not recognise her from the profile photos but when I saw other details I was sure that it was she. I contacted her on Facebook and now we are connected on WhatsApp.
    She is a proud grandmother of two children and she shares her photo with them as well her garden.

    During my school or college times I have only a minimum friends, though I was familiar with all students of the class. But everybody only within the institution and after the course was over no one met except only one friend.
    On the first day of college at Madurai, I was copying my first year degree class Time Table, as the Time Table for all classes, was affixed in the Notice Board, a boy asked me where the first year BCom Time Table was. I told and then came to know that he was in my class only, his name is Albert Dayakaran. Both of us introduced each and became good friends then onwards. After finishing degree course of three years, everybody got disbursed. Then I went to Chennai for employment. After a gap of seven years, when I went to Egmore Railway Station to receive my mother, a police person approached me and asked why I was standing on the platform. I presumed that question as general safety interrogation, I replied that I was there to receive my mother. Then he asked me whether I am Ramachandran. Then only I realized his voice and saw that was only Albert Dayakaran, my collegemate. Then with laughter he removed his hat and came with me to the compartment where my mother came and we spent our time by talking happily till the train come. On my mother's arrival, I introduced my friend to my mother and till we board in auto he was with us. I felt very happy to meet my first friend after many years.

    No I am not in contact with my childhood friends. In our days we didn't had phone and internet so once a contact is lost is lost forever.

    I remember my best friend in primary class used to live near our home. They had a rented home and after few years he moved to their own place and left school too. Since then I never had a chance to see him. Now also I try to search him on Facebook and other apps but never been able to find him.

    Now a days the situation is changed a bit and now you cannot lose a contact of a person unless you want to forget that person.

    Still I am able to find out many school friends and have made a WhatsApp group so that we may be able to interact with each other. It's always a fun when you find out some lost old friends.

    As I am now settled in my native place, I am blessed to have frequent contacts with a few of my class mates from class Five to Class Ten and in college. There are about more than ten such old classmates residing in the same town, but I am having frequent contact with two or three. Some others I met occasionally on some common events.

    We have a WhatsApp group of classmates of degree class. Not all ,but at least a few are there in the group. We are in contact among us by that group and had to unfortunately attend recently the last rites of a deceased classmate too. I am also in contact (by daily GM messages to one of my oldest friends(we were born and brought up at same village, just a few days apart in age, studied as classmates till class four before I moved to another town). The same classmate and myself joined the same job as our first job. Again we disconnected due to change of job, and after many years re-connected a few years ago. We met at his residence in Mumbai two months ago. I am also blessed and privileged to met and contact one of my college professors once in two months at least.

    Let me add more about my childhood friends. I had a few friends in school but I am not in touch with them now and do not know where they are.
    In college I had some friends and out of that I am in touch with three friends and as we are living at different places our conversations take place only through WhatsApp.

    I came to my native place and I have been here for the last 10 days. Yesterday while I was coming back to my house after visiting a temple, I heard a voice calling me " Srinivas". I looked back and a person came from behind and hugged me. Then I saw and recognised him. He was my classmate in high school. After his education, he left this place and went to Hubli in Karnataka. Afterwards, I never met him. We both were happy. He told me that he had come back to this place and settled here now. We spent two hours together in his house. Such things happen very rarely in our lives.

    Yes Dr Rao such things happen very rarely. Once your friends are lost they are rare to find out. I had a best friend in 12th class with who I never met after 30 years but sometimes when I memorise those time spent with him, I wish if I could meet him once.
