I am on my return journey from the trip to New Delhi, sitting in the Rajdhani Express going back to Durgapur, the place from where the journey began. Trips like this always make me realise that life is all about taking chances. Open your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, thin k what your heart is hoping for and do all the things you love. Never ever leave anything to regret, for life very less gives second chances. One day when you will be sitting in a old chair, feeling the warmth of the morning sun, you will realise that it is not the sun that is making your heart warm but the smiles of your friends and the beautiful moments spent together, Keep feeding your heart with these beautiful moments and you shall never feel empty.

It’s been three & a half years we have left college. The days then were by no doubt one of the best days of our lives. We lived there as if we shall never depart but then time is very powerful. We departed to meet again. I have met my friends after my college days but only in bits and pieces. This trip shall be a different one. It is very obvious that we missed Ankur Agarwal, Kamaljyoti Nath, Manish Agarwal & Abhishek Agarwal but to take things positively we give life a second chance that we shall meet again together.

It feels really great when life brings to you the times when you can collect together the pieces of your heart that were a little away, Friends for me is life. I don’t know but to be true I feel the safest place on earth with my closest friends. Looking outside the window with your fists on your cheeks, a music in your ears & words in your mind, you start to think about happiness and only get one reply “Friends”.

Happiness is in everything that one does. It is in Baibhav’s silence & his smile; it is in the reaction of Krishna on the traffic of Noida; it is in standing and watching Ashu clicking some photographs of the India Gate & living in his passion; it is in absorbing all the fundas by Chiraag & Basu; it is in hearing Ishan say “Plan Kya Hai”; it is in breathing in the smoke puffs by the Suttas of Krishna & Ashu; it is in Popli calling "Babu Bhaiya";  it is in all the  “Pati Teas & Coffees”  made by these champs; it is in the laughter of Sagar  & Ankit; it is everywhere. You just have to catch hold of it & make yourselves happy.
