She was a very dear friend in school. At first, she was acting only like a close friend. And while all the tme I was trying to impress Archana, she was trying to impress me. I didn't notice it for some time and I kind of used the good relations with her as a way of getting the attention of Archana. I did get it, not just Archana's but also the whole class. I wouldn't call myself manipulative. Lavanya was an extrovert but she wasn't exactly a beauty though a few guys considered her hot. She had a good heart. Actually, I didn't find a single one whom I could call as crooked. It was an age of innocence. Even Swami and Harish had a good nature behind their snobbish attitude. A couple of times I have wondered if I got ditched by Archana because of Lavanya's curse. I don't think so. Maybe she would have shouted at me behind my back but not to the extent of cursing me. I miss her friendship.
Vishwanath was an amazing and handsome guy. A gem. There was this circle of friends who used to hang out together as a group. At such an young age, they made a statement of style by being together in everything. If there is one thing that I have not had the fortune of, it is to belong to a group of tight-knit college friends. I had invested a lot in Archana in college that I didn't seek such friends.
I'm beginning to feel like how I was in the last year of my school in 92-93. This time I hope to play my cards right but I wonder if I have any control over it. Presented with the same options again, I would choose differently in a thing or two. But I don't know what those one or two things are.

Lavanya was seen a year or two years ago with her kid and husband. She had a good family the irony of reversed fortune couldn't be missed. Contact numbers were exchanged. Mister Arvind didn't want to follow up with her to show his pathetic existence and wanted her and his friends to still have the cheerful image rather than the frustrated image. No regrets. Mister so and so was equally fortunate in having pearls of wisdom for which people would give their lives for. So it adds up and compensates.
