How ''Da Group'' came into being

Things were ending now. Class 6 was starting when class 5 was ending. And we were having a silly childhood quarrel with our friend Nimmi.
''Nimmi, do you have any idea how RUDE you have become? We TOTALLY miss the old Nimmi!''

Our all-girl friendly group of a lot of people. We absolutely loved to play and when we were playing a nice game of lock and key, a voice comes from behind us

''Do you guys mind if we join in too? I mean, we have nothing to do, so...''

We turn around to see two boys over there. They introduced themselves (we already knew them, being in the same complex and all but we got to know them better) as Opu and Ramyajit.

''Sure,''

'' Join in''

And we had fun like never before.

I didnt come down to play the next day, but i had my friend Anamika to update me with all the news in the school bus. ''We had so much of fun yesterday, me, opu, ramyajit, nimmi and opu's sister diya were literally running in the mud, wet from the rain! It was so much fun! you have to try it!''

I smiled. ''sure, i will''

Then i came down. And i was amazed how our boring days had turned into something so nice. Over the time, all of us became great friends...playing, goofing about....

We had another friend called Wani, who lived in the fourth tower of our complex, known as Chaturthi. There was a small garden with a real fun kids ride on the first floor. We made that our regular hangout place.

Before, i was looking up classes to join. Now i am postponing classes to come down.

Life takes such unexpected turns...<sigh>

Many people came and went, but me, nimmi,anamika,ramyajit,diya and opu remained the fastest of friends. There were also two patchups...A very dramatic one of Opu and Anamika and a long-time-crushes-tale-going-on Nimmi and Ramyajit. Me, i prefer to remain single ;)

Later on, we were joined by Apratim, who left as suddenly as he had come, and Anushna, the merry ''bubble'' of the group. Watching Anushna has always cheered me up. Her jumpy attitude, always ready to play, her vanishing-quickly sadness, her love of pink, which showed that she didnt care if she was girly. She LIKED it.

This, is how my friends, our group came to being, Or as i like to refer to it, DA GRoup!!!
