Welcome back,
On Friday, I visited my friends after a long time, and that was the first time in five years that all of us met together. I actually meet some of my friends often, but a complete reunion is quite rare. I think it was the first time after the year 2020 that we all managed to meet. We are a total of five friends, and luckily, all of us agreed to be at one place. Believe me, that was the best time I have spent in the last few years.
I cannot compare those few hours spent with my friends to any other thing, be it a trip to a different city, mountains, or anywhere else. I still would not rank those trips above these few hours because it was something at a completely different level.
Initially, when we reached the home of one of our friends where we had agreed to meet, we started talking about what is going on in our lives, but that was not the topic of the day because we were there to have fun.
All those serious talks vanished in just a few minutes, and then we decided what to do next. We ordered some Chinese food, and it took around fifty minutes to reach us. During this time, we decided to play cards and chose the bluff game.
Now, I was one of the two friends who had no idea how to play this game because I have never involved myself in cards, nor did I have any knowledge about them. So, I asked my friends to teach me how to play it.
Each of them tried to explain, but they all failed miserably. Then I searched on the internet, studied the rules, and found it quite interesting. After playing two rounds, I actually understood how to play it, and we ended up playing around six games before the food arrived.
After that, we ate together and started talking about different topics. Someone talked about politics, someone shared news about his favorite cricketer moving abroad, and I talked about how the air quality index has worsened in our city. If you have read my blog yesterday, you already know how the air quality index in my city is getting worse day by day.
Once we finished the food, my friend’s younger brother came into the room. I was quite surprised to see him because when I was in school, he was just a little boy studying in class three, but now he is in college. It felt like nostalgia hit me hard, and I realized how fast time moves. That is life; time does not stop for anyone.
He also joined us, and we started playing the bluff game again. After that, we played Teen Patti, another game I did not know before. They taught me how to play it, and I found Teen Patti even more interesting than the bluff game. Both of them were really fun when played with friends.
We enjoyed a lot, and that is how I spent my Friday with my friends. If you are reading this and you are in your teenage years, I would ask you to spend as much time as you can with your friends, because you are going to miss it later.
Sometimes, just for one single meeting like this, you will have to wait for years. In my case, it took five years for all of us to meet together again, and I hope these meetings become more frequent in the future.
However, since all of us are working in different cities and have our own busy schedules, meeting often is not easy. My best friend works in Guwahati, and he comes once every three months for seven days. That makes it difficult for all of us to meet at the same time. But I will try to plan things earlier and make sure we meet again soon, because that is what makes life interesting.
Thank you, and happy trading everyone.
