Flashback: 6 years back, Mumbai
It all started in KC College, one of the famous colleges in the heart of south mumbai, Churchgate where we all met. Standing up to my parents expectations I scored less in HSC (no surprise lol) and landed here in KC College opting in BSc(IT).
In the first semester we three were like strangers to each other. Actually I was stranger to both of them. Ohh I forgot to introduce them. Alright, I would like you to be a little more curious but for a time being lets name them A and B. So, A & B were friends from the school days and I was like a stranger to them. Then once in a maths lecture we started talking to each other. We were sitting next to each other and it was quite surprising for all of us to know that all of us are Marathi (strange I know and we all were thrown out of the class). If you talk in networking terms "The connection was established."
Then as the 2nd, 3d, 4th, 5th ,6th semesters went by we became friends to good friends, good friends to Best friends. People started recognizing us together. It was our identity and people used to find us together wherever they used see us. Even it was very profit making for the private tutors or any other institution to target any one of us. Because if one of us would become their customer, they used get two more customers automatically! (Proof: We all joined Arena Multimedia together lol).
5th and 6th semester were the best days in our life. We all actually studied very hard(yes, difficult to digest but yes we did) and did well in our exams as well. And finally we became graduates. The question then was "what next?" But we had answers for everything. We thought of becoming an MBA. As a result we all joined TIME classes for the entrance preparation(yet another proof....1 teer mein 3 shikar...lol).
And then the time came when we had to part away. We all got admissions in different B-Schools. And for the next two years the contact was very limited. Yes we used to talk each other on phone sometimes but it was certainly not as it used to be in the past. We had our colleges, lectures, assignments, presentations and what not. We all were busy in our own lives. So again speaking in networking terms "The connection was idle."
It was the end of our MBA course and we all were looking for the placements. Recession had hit us very badly. We all were desperate. Then one day I got a call from "A" saying that he is working in a company and "B" has already given an interview in the same company. He asked me also to give it a try. Without thinking much on it I said a yes to give it a try and forwarded my CV to fix up my interview.
Present Day, Mumbai
We all are together again working in an Online Advertising company in New Bombay. And its been fantastic so far. We all are working in different departments and most importantly liking the job we are doing. Ohh by the time you must have recognized whom am I taking about for so long. Yes, It's we three Pushkar(myself), Rohan(A), Pratik(B) aka PRP. We are together to rock again. Life is such a wonderful journey...We started from a point...and we are again at the same point where we all started....The circle is truly complete! Cheers to our friendship! And I pray to the god that we remain best friends forever and ever!
