Life Is Beautiful- By Mrs. Chitrakala Ramchandran, Principal, SSIS
It was a wow moment when I met my long lost friends after thirty two long years. We first met when we were in our teens and again …..when we are in our fifties.
Five beautiful years at collage, when we shared all our joys, sorrows, anger and anxieties, never had money, but days filled with lots of joy and happiness,.. days were so green and fresh… lovely memories to cherish.
After many many years, at one point of time, I thought….. that is all, we will never ever meet again.
But, WOW… thanks to technology,… WE MET….
On the 5th of December 2016 I got a message from a friend on Watsaap with a photo asking me to identify the people in it. I scanned with my bifocals for more than fifteen minuets, but in vein, no luck. … I couldn’t hold my eagerness any more, I picked up my mobile and called her, who sent it to me as a riddle and asked her with a panting tone, ” Hi, please tell me who are they?”
” They are your classmates from college, the 1984 batch of Science Group,” she answered. She also had collected a couple of mobile numbers and sent them to me.
I was in the midst of arranging logistics for my only daughter’s marriage…., I just kept aside all my priorities for sometime,… I called them immediately, and gave them a pleasant surprise.
Wow !…. I wish, all who have lost their buddies get such awesome moments in life.
