Then we all got busy with our board examinations, and hardly got time to meet each other except during school hours. No one of us actually believed in group studies, but whenever any of us had some problem we met and tried to mutually solve it. We all knew that it board results do matter a lot, so we all became really serious as they came closer.
They got over on March 23rd. We all were free after the big event called ‘Board Examinations’. It was a historic day too, as on the same day Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were hanged. Though we all came to know this or rather realize its importance after the movie 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh', atleast we started appreciating their effort for getting our country freed, for a dream that those people saw while fighting so hard against unjust rule, to create a just environment, a place where everyone had equal opportunities and where no one ruled over other, rather respected each other and their work , but we knew that although we got freedom from British rule but their dream was far from getting completed. We always pledged on this day, that we won’t let their sacrifice go waste and that their dream would come true ... SOON !!!
Now that exams were over, all of us had planned some or the other thing to do. Karan had some initial plans of getting involved in some technical activity and was waiting for exams to get over. As soon as they were over he started surfing on net and started searching for some nice thing in which he could get involved. In the meanwhile, we all planned to go to some hill station, an outing for a week. But as was expected, things hardly go as smooth as planned. We had this big-big task of convincing our parents to allow us to go. Arsh’s , Sagar’s and my parents were very cool especially our dads, they themselves were really excited on hearing our plans, and the remaining task of convincing moms were handled by them, so it was a great help.
But convincing Karan’s parents was our biggest problem. They were really possessive about him, and were very adamant about not letting him go. But I had this great power of speaking in polite as well as an usual manner after which I usually succeed to convince people. Then after persuading them so much, we felt it awkward to continue doing so, so we left, but somehow I knew that we have been able to change their mind, and rest of the matter Karan took into his hands. He now used his greatest strength which he knew that won’t let him down. His Grandmother. She loved Karan so much that, whenever he wanted anything, he would straightaway go to her (But that didn’t mean that Karan used her love, to get any of his senseless demands accepted). He also loved her a lot and she was the first person in house with whom Karan shared all his secrets and also his successes and failures.
Now, the same night he went to her to explain how badly he wanted to go with us, as we didn’t know what’s kept for us in future. Till that time our paths were common, but after that, we all knew that things were not going to remain same. We all had different things to pursue, we didn’t even know that whether we would be able to spend time with each other or not. As was the matter of fact that, all those who were taking sciences will be a bit more busier because of all those competitions and stuffs... Karan genuinely requested his grandmother to grant him permission to go, to which she agreed. Karan felt so grateful to god for giving him such a beautiful relationship, in the face of his grandmother, for whom Karan’s happiness came before anything else, without expecting anything in return. Karan spent whole night with her, explaining her what we had planned to do.
Then came Disha. Although we knew that it was next to impossible to convince her parents as generally parent’s of girls don’t allow for outing to places far away from hometown. Her parents were really liberal in their approach, though they allowed her to hang out with us, this time there was no scope to change their mind and it was almost final that Disha won’t be going with us. And there was an another reason that Disha’s cousin was getting married, so she had to attend that too. We decided to drop the plan but she impelled us not to do so. But then she had strict order for us that every moment should be captured in cameras and also to get her something nice.
Again great flow!
