Gatecrashers – that’s what we called ourselves in the beginning
Screamz – that’s what we changed our name to… the 8 of us! Who lived together for 4 years, fought a lot over tons of petty things, had an individual opinion about everything and everyone, gossiped late night on life’s important learnings, enjoyed the Rs 4 watery half maggi every night, cycled to the campus c’not place and gatecrashed at 11:01 pm into the Meera Bhawan, played truth or dare innumerable times, loved being half nude in those sweltering summers, looked forward to every oasis and apogee, appreciated beauty in groups :) and shared everything except underwear!
Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and one nonexistent somewhere in the US – that’s how scattered we are today… someone remembers to pop in a mail once in a while and there is a flurry of replies in 2 days and the tide dies down. Some of us don’t reply for a year... some of us don’t call for a year… but we are always there!
These were the last gang of girls I hung out with… I can’t point out one person among the eight whom I am closer to than the others… but then there has been no-one like the screamz ever again and I am more than happy to have two of them in Mumbai soon :)
The Mumbai gang of girls is expanding in enthusiasm and I am looking forward to the girls’ day out of shopping, movies, drinks, gossips and late nighters!
And woman, I promise this would be priority as long as it is not thrown as a surprise to me :)

Good to see that you are getting back some of them..I know how it feels to be with those..Who shared the life with us..I am missing most of my friends..from Intermediate and Bachelors..I found out one thing..Its the people at schools and colleges that we feel close to than with people at Office..May be because they shared the same experience we had..
:-) will hold you to the 'priority' promise !! And its now that i've had a decent quota of my other priority, I think I can start planning this one :-)
Am also looking forward to it... coffee, gossip, shopping, movies, a loooooong night of giggles and blabbering !!
who is 'the woman'????
Hey Dudette, and i expect a detailed mail about your encounters with drinks and drunkards :D
It is true that real and close friendships are made mainly during the school days(if in a boarding school) and college. Therafter we meet so many people at work , neighbours, during travel... But we find it difficult to make any new friendships that expect nothing in return.Is it because we start expecting from the new friendships or is it because our married partner is a barrier?...
Nice post!
