Dhanbad - Don't know what this place means to me. Perhaps nothing or perhaps everything. I don't know.When I came to Dhanbad because of my Dad's transfer 8 years ago, I wasn't happy because I loved the place where I spent my childhood. My friends, my school, the home where I lived were my life. The place was Jhumri Tilaiya. I still remember three of my friends there namely Ankita, Aakansha and Neha. When I shifted here. I still remember I used to see my 3 JHUMRI friends in my dreams every night. I used to miss them terribly. But sooner I got used to Dhanbad. And then was my first day in Delhi Public School, Dhanbad.
I got in section D of class 4. I was scared to death on my first day. But Madam Madhushree was so gentle and sweet that all my fears just flew away. I sat with ***** but could never develop good friendship with her. Because there was groupism. There were two groups. One was of rankers and one was of dumbos. I was never a ranker so I preferred walking in to the group of dumbheads who were actually the sweeter ones. The rankers were harsh and a bit proudy but I never hated them. I somewhat envied them. And wanted to have friendship with them. which was absolutely impossible on their side. And the days passed, I got along really well with the sweet little useless group. Nobody really liked talking with any of us unless someone was really good-looking. And I used to look like a moron. I had small hair. REALLY SMALL, I used to get haircut where my brother used to get. I had pimples on my nose. And I was 5'3" at that time. I was counted among the tallest girls but that didn't help me for a longer period of time because I didn't grow vertically but rather horizontally. And my tall classmates grew taller and I shifted in the group of average hieght wali larkiya. Which was another impetus behind my mockery. But this happened when I was in class 8 when I really gained weight.
But from class 4 to 8. One magic happened. The rankers group broke. They got in to a bad fight. And two girls left that group and that was the moment when I didn't want to lose the opportunity to get along with those girls and there I offered my lunch to those two wonderful girls (Sneh Lata and Umika Aishani) who actually never belonged to that group and we became the best of friends. From class 5 to 7, I, Umika, Sneh Lata, Monalisa (was already a ranker but was with us since the beginning), Meenakshi, Sakshi, Kanwal, Pragya, Nidhi, and Sujata, we were the happiest group. We loved each other and had the most rocking time of our life. I and Sneh Lata were the inseparable kind of friends. Like the twins. We used to fight like crazy, talk all the time in class and on phone afterwards, laugh vivaciously, and get everything same to same. The most famous was our fastrack watch :). Even the teachers knew about us. And I have always loved her. Umika was the life of our group, cracking jokes all the time, playing pranks with everyone and anyone. I remember her masterpiece on which we still laugh. We were at Koyla Nagar More and she asked a rickshaw wala if he will go to Koyla Nagar, he said yes he will and her reply was 'to jaiye na khare kyun kisi ne roka hai kya'... :P Paagal larki. Monalisa was the girl I admired the most. She was the most dedicated and sincere of all. And I had the time of my life with her in class 4. I used to play badminton with her in class room, using scale and paper rolls. And the Mangal Pandey incident if anybody remembers. :PKanwal was and is still the prettiest of all. Used to bring the yummiest lunch. And uske ghar pe I used to enjoy the most. The true angel and the sweetest heart. If I can say one thing to Kanwal it would be a simple "I LOVE YOU." And the rest 5 girls - Meenakshi, Sakshi, Pragya, Nidhi and Sujata were all same of the kind. Real sweethearts and pure gems. But. Here comes a BUT. We all were separated in class 8. Section was changed. I got 8 C. And I had just one of our group with us. SNEH LATA. She covered up all the sorrows of separation in me. And I hope I did the same for her. In class 8 one more girl was from our section and she was Swetambaree but she wasn't from our group. And I didn't know her at all. But she was Sneh Lata's old friend so they got back along and even I got to know her. As groupism didn't exist anymore. So we all were friends. And then I made the most special friend of my life. Roshni.Thodi Paagal si hai, khud bhi nai janti ki usne kis tarah se mera life badal diya. I love her from the bottom of my heart. Whenever I see her cry, I get a very strong feeling of destroying the one who made her cry. And you know guys, we became friends because of her tears only. One day I saw her really upset and don't know why but it affected me and I just asked Sneh Lata to sit with Swetambaree for a period so that I could sit with her and know what is wrong. That was the day which brought light in my life. Literally Roshni was filled up in my life. I have had my first crush, my first love, my first heart-break, everything with her. And the best thing is that she is my neighbor.
In class 9. I had the time of my life. The life of class 8 and 9 was Deepshikha. I bet nobody can get bored in her company. She used to take us to the roller-coaster ride of laughter. And I made some new awesome friends like Richa - She is our cute little bubly girl, very entertaining and sweet jiske pet me koi baat nai pachta... :P
Then I joined ND sir's tuition in Daffodil. There I made some friends for life like Sabia and Manasi. Our Chidiya Ghar. Sabia is the one I love hanging out with. She is just so caring kisi k sath kuch bura hota to she calls me up and warns me that I should be careful so that I don't get into any kind of mess. She is the most babelicious girl of DPS in my eyes. And I love her. And Manasi, she is the soft- hearted, sweetheart, very caring and the most trustworthy one I have ever known. Meri girlfriend thi yeh. Dhokha dedi. I miss you yaar. :)And then again Sections changed in class 10th. Sneh Lata and I was separated apparently. I and Roshni got "A". And I made one more gorgeous soul my friend. Neha Choudhary. Super-sweet and extremely adorable. I can never forget the photo-sessions I have had with her. And the way she has always been right up to take care of me. Love you babe.
I, Neha and Roshni used to sit together. Fun utna school me nai hua because my bad time had started but yeah if they weren't there I wouldn't have been here. And there were few more lovely girls like Vasundhara and Anamika who I admired the most of the lot. Anamika - I have know her since Class 8. She is very pretty and she has a very big heart. Too good for common people. :)Vasundhara - Well, I have never known her personally but yes I like her. Facebook has always made me feel connected with her in a way different from everybody else. I know she has a long way to go. And somehow I believe that she will stand out in the crowd in our future. :)From Class 11th to 12th - I got into commerce. And there were only two in the lot who I knew very well. And they were Anamika and Manasi. But I really don't want to talk about class11th and 12th as those 2 years were the worst time of my life. And that is the reason why I wonder if Dhanbad really means anything to me.
Well you must be thinking that I didn't mention a word about any of the guys. Well I can't forget to write about Ankit Aishvarya, Harsh Vardhan, Tushar Bhaskar, Archit Soni, Rashid Alam, Aaditya Agarwal, Arnabjit, Shivam Sngh, and Pratik Sagar Mishra.
Ankit Aishvarya - Well words would be less if I sit to write about him. His kind of guys are rare to find. He is 5 years older than me. But he is the best of all. He is just amazing. He is the one I can count upon in any situation. The one I never wanna lose. I am grateful to God that he made me meet you! :)
Harsh Vardhan - Haha.. Mera bhai hai... The only guy jise maine rakhi bandhi. Because dil se bhai mana ise. Fokut me rakhi bandhna meri fitrat nahi hai. :P He has been through my thick and thin. He is ever-ready to fight for me. He gave me strength in the hardest time of my life. :)
Tushar Bhaskar - Another gem of a person. Very generous, caring and sweet. I love his childish way of talking. Very cute. :)
Archit Soni - Man, this guy is just so well-natured. In DPS Dhanbad, Mombatti leke bhi courtsey dhondho to kisi larke me nai milegi aj k date me. In class 11th and 12th - when I used to come to school after my long holidays he used to always ask me about my well-being. And for this gesture I will never forget him. :)
Rashid Alam, Aaditya Agarwal, Arnabjit - The mad guys. They know how to make someone laugh. Extremely funny. I have always enjoyed their company. :)
Shivam Singh, Pratik Sagar Mishra - Kabhi nai samajh payi in dono larko ko. But they are fun to be with. Ye log kahe kuch bhi aur kare kuch bhi hai dil ke nek. :P Shivam is very supportive and understanding. Someone I can share secrets with. :) And Pratik the one who has always boosted me up by greeting me with adding a designation after 'Miss' whenever calling me. (Miss Writer, being his and my fav. :D)
Huh! Finally khatam hua. And now I conclude that I can't hate this place for 3 bad years forgetting 5 years of awesomeness. I love you all. I love you Dhanbad and I am gonna miss you all.
Bubyeee....
Take Care
