Friends are the best part of a human life. When you have 4 good friends, it actually means you had the time of your life. I always believed in that.

Kanna, Thenapa, Joe & Me.

We studied in RSK Higher Secondary School right from KG. We all knew each other from 4th grade and gradually we became close friends in our 10th grade to till date.

Kanna lives in our native town Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India taking care of his own business. He is into fabrication, erection and commisioning of boiler controls and parts.

Thennapa is working right now in Noida, India [next month he will move to Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India]. Thennapa is into software development.

Joe is a manager in the rule making bank of India. Reserve Bank of India. He lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Manjunaath, me, well, right now in Dubai, UAE. Check out my profile in LinkedIn or Orkut or here in Blogger.

We all still cherish a good dream that we 4 should be living together in the same area like in school days at some point of time in life.

Distance always separates people physically. Me, being out of India, get a chance to talk to all of them once a month or so. After we 4 settled in a good job we hardly got a chance to get togehter and have a nice time. Well, in-fact after school we never got a chance. We finished our school in 1996.

We were actually sketching a plan for getting together. After approximately 10 years we started to slowly sketch a plan for a new year RE-UNION.

The plan was:
1. 26th, Dec’07 Joe would pick me up from Chatrapathi Shivaji International Airport at 3 PM.
2. 26th, Dec’07 Joe and I would pick up Thennapa from Mumbai Domestic Terminal at 8 PM
3. We will drop Priya [Joe's Wife] and Kavya [Joe's Daughter] at Joe’s In-Law’s house at 10 PM
4. 27th, Dec’07 morning Joe, Thennapa & I would pick up Kanna from Mumbai Domestic Terminal at 8 AM.

From 8AM 27th Dec 07 till 2nd Jan 08 “it was the time of life for us”.

When Kanna was at Kamaraj Domestic Terminal in Chennai [Detroit of India] at around 5 AM we asked him to buy our break fast at Sangeetha Restaurant at the Airport. We asked him to buy 6-Pongal(s), 2 Plate Vada and few Idli’s. Some may wonder, what breakfast is available in Chennai which is not availabe in Mumbai.

So, Kanna landed finally at 10 AM…

From here, I will keep posting each day as a blog! Come back!
