The journey begins.....

Hi ..
i remember how we met each other.It was in train No.2660-Gurudev express.I occupied a vacant compartment.I was desperate, as i couldn't attend my SSB interview.Months of preparation and a lumsum expenditure went in vain.Then came the hero of the journey-a 60 year old,tamilian from Coimbatore, along with his wife.The hero-Mr.Jagdish.

"Has the train arrived on right time?"He asked.

"Yes sir."replied me.

We still went on with some chats. He consoled me, and appreciated for my decision to join defense. We were soon joined by a mom and daughter.The daughter is our heroine. She was 8 years old,with pretty face.So was her name- "Preethi".

"My son is on his study tour to Cochin harbour.I hope to join him there".Said Mr. Jagdish.

"Uncle,uncle, a harbour is a place for repairing and mooring vessels".Preethi defined harbour.

To my greatest surprise,it was the same defenition i ve learned for my harbour engg. Thus she too joined our conversation.she was full of energy.So was Jagdish uncle.We all began to talk each other as if we were the third standard's class mates.
Jagdish uncle was noticed a flower on our way, but could not yell out the name.He asked for Preethi's help.

"I think the colour is pink. Uncle,your shirt too is of that colour".Said Preethi.She was right. Children are more observant. Obviously, it was my chance to help him.

"Well...Uncle,...i think its.....Lavender"

"Lavender....exactly...now i remember...u r right,deepak".He continued.
"So Preethi,whenever u see a lvander, u have to remember me. So will I..."

"So will i..."Said me... We all looked each other for a moment.

I still dont know what exactly is the colour of friendship.For 3 of us, its lavender.5 hrs went like 5 mins.We had fun.He explained life to me and Preethi in simple words. I revealed the present world b4 him.Afterall, i am supposed to become a civil eng.within 4 months....At last, the journey came to an end. He blessed me and Preethi, as if we were his grandchildren. I wished my best wishes to Preethi and her mom....we left.....

But i dont want to end this journey. I'll be there to share my stories to u,my dear Preethi and Jagdish uncle....we will continue our journey.....through this blog...Uncle, for ur kind information, THE TRAIN HAS ARRIVED AT RIGHT TIME........Let's start journey with preethi mol....
