"Friends"

This is something that i have noticed, felt, experienced........

My friends from ambarnath (where i stay)

had enrolled for an open basketball tournament (NBA

Mumbai).

i like playing basketball so i went with them for practice,

later i got to know that they went ahead to add my name on the list too. So i had to play the matches with them. well the practices were not very serious and i was not very happy with the way we were performing, especially if we had to play a Bombay based club. we were given a good enough court to practice on, but our coach was not a very supportive one, as he came for only 2 practices.

We did a lot on our own, and played our first match on children's day (14th Nov). we also happened to win the match against the powai hiranandani team, beating them by (18-13), a pretty good margin.

i felt very happy after winning and enjoyed playing the match too. later i realised that these were the same people with whom i did not like spending a lot of time, and also the same team with which i was not wanting to play.

Well the tournament goes on till Jan, so i wont be here till then but now i really want to play with them till whenever i am here.

It was a great experience, i realised that i have started to become friends with them again, accept them as they are and they are doing the same with me.

there was a time when i just would not like

to be with them cause they were very different from how i had become after going to Sahyadri. Now i guess i am learning to accept the way everyone is.....its just great to see such a thing.
