CHAPTER 3
I waz really surprised to see Prem besides me. I didn't know why, I felt very happy about it. Prem had no expressions, as if I was a stranger to him. yes, I'm a stranger for him. These two years made me a stranger. Somya was seated on the other row, with Meera, another classmate of mine.
HOD stood before us. Her name is Sridevi and she looked very young. We all were surprised to hear that she had taken her PHD and has got a married daughter. She is very interactive and for our good luck, she declared that she won't be starting any classes today.
HOD: So what we'll do now? Well, you all are coming from different places, So the first thing I prefer would be self introduction. But this is going to be a different activity. Let me see how well you know your friends.
We were given 15minute. With in that time, we should be able to describe the person sitting next to us. She also told that, the person sitting next would be our project partner for the year. next year, we will be given another clasmate. Which means that, Prem is going to be my project partner in this year. I wished if the HOD said that this arrangement should be for the 4 years of our engineering curriculum.
The HOD went out of the classes, instructing us not to nake much sound as there are classes going near by. She asked us to share about our self to the one sitting next to her.
I felt annoying, seeing Prem reading some text book. Actually, there were two reasons for my anger. One is that, Prem never used to read text books. He used to be very attentive in the class ad will take the xerox copy of the lectur note I prepared. And now, he is reading a book, ie even before the portions are started.
The second reason was that, everyone were busy talking to each other, introducing them selves and I had to sit simply, watching Prem reading his dear text book.
Mam came to the class. She could see everyone talking except us. She called us.
HOD: Those two, sitting on the 2nd bench, 1st side, have you finished introducing?
I looked down, hoping that mam would give us a chance and let Prem talk to me. But, to my surprise, she called us to the platform.
HOD: You both were sitting simply there. So you might have finished sharing. Come on.. You, Miss.. Start describing your friend.
I was startled. I know each and everything of Prem. But we havem't talked so far, so How can I?
I cleared my throat. Stl I felt words wee not coming out of my mouth. I started.
Hello friends.. I'm Heer Maan and My friend Prem Juneja.
Civil Engineering was his passion from his school days. He has completed his schooling from Blue Bell Public school. His favorite subject is Physics..
He enjoys listening to soft music, mostly western. He likes cycling and chit chating with friends.
His idol is his Mom.. who is a godess in his eyes. He's got a mischevious brother, who adores him like anything. He's got an elder sister too.
He loves his family very much and is proud of that. I believe, being his project partner, would be able get his help and enjoy the first year with him.
As soon as I completed, I could hear a round of applause. Even the HOD clapped. Well, I knew everything of Prem, from the kindergarten till 10th. I knew his hobbies and of course, physics was his favorite subject. He used to help me with that. We used to go to school together and come back. Both of us enjoyed cycling down the pocket road to his home. Those sweet memories cherished in my mind, and will be, for ever.
It was Prem's turn to describe me. He smiled at everyone. And before he
started, the HOD asked him.
HOD: Prem, is your mobile switched off?
PREM: mam, I kept it in my hostel. I didn't bring it.
HOD: There's no need for that, you may take it. But please switch it off during 9 to 3.
PREM: Yes mam.
HOD: Ok. Start describing.. Let's hear how deeply he knows Heer
PREM looked at me.. and to the others.
"Friends, I'm Prem Juneja, coming from Delhi. Heer has given a vast description about me. Heer is coming from Bangalore.. But still is very good in Northern languages. As her parents are from Punjab. Her family is small, consisting her father, brother and her sister-in-law.
Maths is her favorite subject and she used to score high marks in that. She is a great lover of chocolates, especially, diary milk chocolates. She loves kittens and does own a cat.
She enjoys playing in rain, cycling. She is a very good singer. She has sung in an album called "MAUSAM" I hope you like the song.. Yeh Baarish...
Her father is a business tycoon in South India and her brother is very smart in his work. She owns the biggest house in Bangalore...
But she is really sweet and kind hearted. She will be a very good friend of yours and you guys can contact her at any time of your difficulties...
i WAS shocked to hear this. How does he know about my bhabhi? Bhayya married just an year ago. And at that time, we were not in touch. And one more, I sung in the album just last month, and How Prem knew it? Prem is getting all news about me.. But how? And Why Prem is'nt talking to me??
That questions remained in my mind, unanswered.
My mind was boggled with these questions... We were asked to go back to our seats and the introduction process continued.. But the whole day, I was wondering how Prem kept an account of my details...
Prem didn't talk to me.. But we both were selected as the best friends there as we were the ones who described each other in the best way.
