Bus Number 4-The fun never ends.

After a great hustle and bustle finally Bus number 4 was full with anxious looking bunch of pals..Believe me,at first everyone exchanged weird looks with each other..I could find that our bus had friends from all four batches A,B, C and D.And sadly i realised i didnt know many of my classmates who were seated in that cozy bus ."Hey yaar..i feel very odd"-i squeezed my best friend shiny's hands..She smiled saying evrything's going to be ok..

At that point of time,Our dear Sir,HOD community Medicine stepped into the bus..He smiled then said.." So now the whole class has been divided into four and allotted to 4 different buses which will take u to important tourist attractions of North India.Each bus will be headed by Two leaders-a boy and a girl..So attention Bus 4 members .here are ur leaders -Mahin and Iris..tc and Enjoy..." he stepped down after having a personal chat with the leader duo.

I looked at them-Mahin- a really slim and peaceful looking person,Little did i know then that he will turn out to be the most outstanding leader i have ever met.Iris was a bit more familiar to me-Stylish and smart,she had bright eyes which shone behind her curly hair. Mahin made the welcome speech as the bus started off for sight seeing in the capital city.Hey...All of u..why so silent?? u have been grouped according to ur friendship circle..Be active..let us rock yaar..!!

It was followed by a large round of applause and the boys seated in the back seats began to sing..Soon we girls joined and within few hours everyone,yes everyone blended perfectly into the group..we threw away that cloak of unfamiliarity and jumped into that swirling pool of friendship and let ourselves carried away by it's sweet ripples .Friendship-The most amazing feeling that fills u .Days were nothing short than a celebration..Night journeys were filled with fun,music,dance and endless games..Even the stars peeped in through the windows to enjoy the fun..

So let me introduce you to My bus mates- okay-let us start with hmm..well ur friend,that's me- a very stupid girl who loves friendship,then my best friend shiny-my little angel, a very studious Sree (Sreekala) -who is a walking encyclopedia, Shruthi-a charming cutie pie, Sumina-the beauty behind the veil cum great singer..Then there is this stunning group of four friends-Swathy-a gentle girl with a sweet voice,Kasthuri-the simple bujikutty,Aneesha- a sweetheart and Devika -the beauty with flowing hair..Most of the times we( shiny and me) could find our seats just behind this four friends-Every evening they settle that day's accounts in a systematic way..Its great fun to watch the treasurer and assistant treasurer smoking their heads out doing the all four numerical operations-More than everything i loved that co-ordination,the bond -the team efforts..Then there is the all cheerful Neethu S (her face so rounded like a full moon) and Thesneem ( do u know in Dubai on which side of road people walk?? ;-),well if u dont know,Thes will answer u)..Then Jojo and krishna - very very active girls,then our Lady rep-Iris and her friends two little manipuri dolls,a very innocent Sneha and her friend Lekshmi SR( who seems to know every malayalam movie name that girls almost always won the dumbcharades-Rumours prevail that Lekshmi spends sleepless nights watching malayalam movies everyday :-0..Well dnt know if its true ;-) )..Then the lovely Jyothi geetha,the' IAS' answering girl Greesha,the little hyperactive and dynamic Sali,A calm and peaceful Aathira, a sweet Jeeja,a good hearted Arsha and a smart Neethu R..Finally the cultural head of the girls,the vibrant Greeshma-who represents the feminine energy and enthusiasm,,,,

Now ,on the boys' side..,i must say they were a very few in number compared to girls but they were amazing..I could never feel the sadness that i hav left my own little brother at home..yes..i got a splendid group of well,around fifteen brothers..That sounds really awesome na? .Maahin- our rep-Commander..God..no,no.."Conander Mahin" thats what we call him..yes,the most amazing leader i have ever met..He just sees that everyone is comfortably placed in bus,even a biscuit he divides in such a way that each one gets a share,he maintains the energy level of bus,sees that everyone participates in every activity,he once unloaded the whole luggage of our bus all by himself in an emergency situation,heeds to any difficulties faced by his bus mates and take steps immediately to solve them,makes sure everyone gets into bus at the right time even when he has to scold some for getting late..-Hats off to his amazing leadership quality...

Hey,,i can hear someone calling"BOYZ..THEME SONG.."..And Thats Nabeel Thaha singing..Bheegi Bheegi si hai raatein...no,no.. its not that sad as u think ,,When he sings

Bheegi Bheegi Si Hai RaatenBheegi Bheegi YaadenBheegi Bheegi Baaten Bheegi Bheegi Aankhon Mein Kaisi Nami Hai

yeah we sing together...i could still hear..yes the chorus

Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa HaAa Ha Ha Ha Aa HaAa Ha Ha Ha

Sapnon Ka Saya Palkon Pe AyaPal Mein Hasaya Pal Mein RulayaPhir Bhi Yeh Kaisi Kami Hai

Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa HaAa Ha Ha Ha Aa HaAa Ha Ha Ha( Na Jaane Koi Kaisi Hai Yeh Zindagaani ZindgaaniHamari Adhuri Kahani)The whole bus springs into music...He is the energy source-The court musician-he sings baa baa blacksheep in the tune of We Will we will Rock you.(we will sing chorus and support him)..and Jhonny Jhonny yes papa in the tune of the malabar song Nenchinullil neeyaanu Faathima...yeah..he is the most important driving force of bus number 4 -its soul ..Behind him all others stayed together and together we rocked..

Okay About other boys in the team,there is the kind hearted Suvin ,Sonu-A great singerThen there is Vineeth ,people call him "puli" meaning leopard,which may be because he is a very active person,Then Chiranjith-a North Indian friend who but speaks in 'malayalam' and a good dancer too,Arun V-Who is nick named 'Koya' in memory of the centre character he played in the tour promotion video,A very innocent and calm duo Vipin and Romy,A very jovial yet a timely helpful friend Abubacker,Then a good friend Anish Joy who bought a sword from Punjab and had to endure a lot of questions about it ..i still remember , all friends were relieved when he said the sword was after all not that sharp and fiery!!!Well though they were a few in number the boys soon got hold of the chain of enthusiasm.Behind Nabeel,they all arranged themselves and unleashed the Never ending Fun of music-Anthakshari( well,boys always had an upper hand in this game as they came up with ol kinda songs),,dumbcharades-Thanks greatly to Lekshmi SR we, girls always were a bit in front..When music was played evryone danced to it's tunes..there were special dances as well-puli dance and titanic dance to name a few.Then there was this dedication session-God knows what fun it was..Nabeel as usual was the leader and his followers too were so active in dedicating songs ..There were roars of laughter..i laughed till tears ran from my eyes.Then there is The 'IAS question' Section.(funny qns section).Oh the questions will puzzle u but the answers.will drive u crazy!!.The one telling the ryt answer will be awarded a biscuit from the Great Mahin bhaiyya..and photo section follows..Yes,there are times you enjoy to the maximum..u know you will never get back them...because some things happen once in a life time and leave memories forever for u to cherish..

I still remember the final speech by Mahin and Iris in our bus -number four and finally we ended the journey by singing "ye dosthi hum naheem chodenge..."..i wonder whether my eyes filled silently...

There are people we meet along our way ,people who become a part of our lives,people who walk away when roads diverge..all kinds..Unknowingly they leave footprints,sweet memories,long lasting friendships...Maybe days fade ,years roll by,...but i believe each one of my friends who journeyed together will forever hold close those beautiful memories.Let God shower his blessings and rays of happiness and hopes in all roads that we tread upon...Yes,there is meeting and parting,loving and missing each other..After all,tell me without these,wat's life? Things get over..journeys end..people part...... Friendship stays..
