___________________________________

I remember the day well I was in Mumbai.. and about to reach Ali's cafe .I had been very excited all morning as i was going to see our gang of four after many years. After our college ended.We all went towards pursuing our career in different cities.But today we are going to meet after ages..

After our college it was first time we are going to gather together that too in camko cafe which is started by our own friend ali .
We four friends-Vidyut,dd,ali nd I were going to be together.
During our first year in the clg dd and I were in different rooms on the third floor of the Block B building .Being on the same floor
We were acquaintances but I never wanted to interact with him.

I didn't think him yo be "good guy" because of his bad habits nd the red on his marksheets.But unfortunately,I was late in getting back to the hostel at beginning of second year and almost all the rooms were alloted nd i was left.I was not left with any choice other than becoming dd's roommate.
And because life is weird, things changes dramatically and soon we became the best friends.The day we decided to gather together he was enjoying his onsite project in london. Dd was blessed with a good sense of humour, telling wrong things at wrong moments,laughing at serious topics nd many more...

Vidyut or vid as we called him, is a fitness freak person nd health conscious person.
Currently he is in banglore..

Ali has been baptized as noodle bhaiya.I don't know when he got this weird nickname nd why but it was probably because of his curly hairs nd a foodie..

Unlike the rest of us at the hostel ,he was not at all a night person an this room's light would go off precisely at 10 pm .
At times vid,dd nd I used to stand outside his room a few seconds before 10 pm and begin to countdown

Nd noodle has gone down...😂😂😂😂

The only mysterious thing about noddle was that he used to go somewhere on his bicycle every sunday.He never told us where he went. Whenever we tried to follow him,somehow he would know and would digress from his path to shake us off.Even today no one knows nothing about it,nd today after soo long we are going to meet him in his cafe. Although he was topper but he had a dream of his own cafe "Chamko cafe".

After college all of us were pretty much involved in our stereotypical lives .One day we found out that dd was coming back from london for three weeks .Everybody was a game for reunion. And whenever he visits India he would go to chamko cafe first .So "Chamko cafe" in Mumbai on Wednesday, we decided.

Finally on the scheduled day ,I was walking through the narrow lane of the cafe .It was about 12:30 in the afternoon when I reached his cafe.

When I went inside one of the staff served me water nd told that his owner is not here.

"Wow just wow! And he asked me not to be late" I murmured to myself.

A little later I heard some footsteps
I feel like someone was coming towards me I turned back and yhe shouts of oh hiii helllo ji....

No it wasn't dd.Vidyut and ali had arrived .

Seeing your college friends after soo many years is soo crazy and exciting that you don't even realize you are at someone else's place where you should show some manners and be polite. Then again, the very purpose of this reunion was to recall our college days and this was the perfect start.

While we made ourselves comfortable on the chairs inside the cafe , ali asked about Dd whereabouts.

He is not on time on his favourite place.I said looking at ali and we laughed again.

For the next half hour or so, the three of us talked, laughed and made fun of each other while eating our favourite food items . Yes, we started our reunion without Dd. This might not sound decent, but we had genuine reason-nobody could predict his arrival, so there was no point in waiting.

A little later when we had finished our foods.

Dd brooooooooo!! Ali shouted ,getting up from the chair.

Vidyut and I stared at each other .It seemed as if ali was going to shed tears as he hugged dd.

We remembered how these guys used to cry in long boring college lectures ,where their brains switched off and their hearts started speaking seeing the girls in attending lectures.

Vidyut and I used to enjoy our coke ,while seeing them geeting senti.

We all stood up to hug him and as soon as that was done. Dd also joined us.

After food,we went to Ali's flat which was nearby cafe. We were laughing at one of dd's jokes while moving in, and were probably still laughing as we fell on the couch in the drawing room-upside down-legs on the couch and our torsos on the floor, arms spread across and facing the ceiling; we made ourselves comfortable.

Everyone was quite.No one spoke for a few moments. And then it started again with dd's big laugh.I guess he remembered some incident involving noodle.

That evening, the four of us in that flat were having an amazing time. Talking about our past and present. About those not-so-good looking girls in college.

About our experiences abroad and many other things.

So,what do you like more in girl simplicity or fashion. Dd asked me,getting up from the couch.

Simplicity , I replied still lying down and looking at the ceiling.

Why?ali asked.He always needed to find the reason behind everything. (Though he never gave any reason for not telling us where he went every sunday ,during our college days.)

Simplicity is the ultimate shophistication .simple can be harder than complex.the way to happy keep your heart free from hate your mind free from worry ,live simply expect little give much.

Simplicity is the essence of happiness.
Beauty of style ,harmony ,grace a d good rhythm depends on simplicity.

Ali nodded and this meant his question has ended.

We were glad to be together again, finally, after the farewell night in college and we kept talking for hours that afternoon.

We were planning an outing for the evening when we realized how tired we were and how badly we needed a little rest or a good sleep . I don't remember which one of us fell asleep first, that afternoon and that too in the college.

Wake up you sleepyheads,its 6:30.

Someone was struggling to get us out from our utopia of dreams. In the hostel, ali was the first among us to wake up and, of course, the only one to wake up others. So we knew that it was our early-morning noodle.

Still, how can somebody thumping your door to get you out of bed be pleasant? We human beings have such a weird nature-while asleep, we hate the person who is trying to wake us up, but once we are awake, we tend to love that same person because he did the right thing.

We all went for a tour of mumbai.as ali need to go to his cafe. Vidyut, dd and i went to explore Mumbai. Ali told he would join us later.

We three took bikes and went to explore.

Whole day we were racing in streets, narrow lanes went on beach..

It wasn't midnight yet..

All four of us at juhu beach..
With our arms wide open, we breathed deep and long, inhaling the fresh, chill air, still intoxicated by the beauty of this place. That was when ali spoke up.

So?' he asked, looking at dd.

'What?' dd asked in return, not understanding ali's 'So.'

'So, how is this place, dammit?'

'Oh! This place? I cannot think of a better place than this.

And then, again, a cool breeze blew, embracing us. We lay down on the sand .

That was when the discussion started. A serious discussion; a discussion that changed my life. It started with another 'So'.

So?' vidyut asked this time, looking at ali.

'What?' ali asked, raising his chin.

'What's the next important thing?' vidyut asked.

'You mean dinner?' dd jumped in.

'No, I mean the next important thing in life.

What's the next destination?

'Ahh i know what you are talking about',ali nodded.
'Ask him',he said pointing his already raised chin towards me.

Everyone looked towards me.

What?I asked.

U know what we want to say neil, vidyut asked.

I said.I don't know what's going on in your life and family but my mom and dad are going crazy. They're after me like you wouldn't believe. Don't I make a good bachelor?' I said.

'Ohh everyone of us are facing same situation' Dd said sadly..

I am serious man, vidyut and ali said.

No we are joking dd blurted out.

Everyone glared at him.

imagine yourself at the age of sixty, living alone. Life isn't that easy, my friend. It's a journey. And the best way to complete it is with a life-partner,' vidyut said.

Ohh still i will look as handsome as i am looking now, I said proudly..

Self obsessed man, ali added...

Okh listen today or tomorrow everyone of us is going to marry whether it be arranged marriage or love marriage. Our parents will surely force us.Why not we find a girl before..

Dd,ali nd i looked at vidyut suspiciously.

Is there anyone vid, i asked..

No no one...vidyut replied ..

Hey i have an idea see this is the era of internet and everyone of us uses internet than why not use internet in this purpose? Ali asked

I didn't get what are you trying to say dd asked being confused.

Are you talking about matrimonial site? Vidyut asked..

Yup yes my bro u caught me right , ali said happily.

Are they really useful? I don't think so,' dd put forward his view. 'To know if a dish is sweet or salty, you have to taste it first. That's the only way to know things for sure,' dd answered.

'Or better yet, ask a person who has already tasted it. Why take a chance?' ali said, trying to make us laugh.

'So noodle, are you on any such website?' I asked.

'Not yet. But I'm thinking of it ...'

Ohooo thinking still thinking...i asked in a teasing manner..

When we did not say anything, he explained, 'The best thing about this service is that you can go through so many profiles without leaving your desk.

The filters are good enough to provide you suitable matches. And you can interact with the persons who interest you ... Everything is so systematic. Above all, you don't need to worry about your physical location ...'

ali made some valid points, which is probably why we didn't have much to debate about...

Hmm ... Well, I don't know if this thing is going to work, but it is worth giving a try. Who knows ...?' Even vidyut was convinced.

It was 1.30 a.m. Our empty stomachs reminded our brains of their existence.

dd said, 'It's quite late and I'm damn hungry. Let's get home.' And he stood up stretching his back.

'So who's the first one?' ali asked while we all were dusting our clothes.

The first one to marry? Or first one to make his profile on the website?' ali asked, laughing.

'Both.'

'I think this guy,' ali pointed his finger at me, I don't know why.

It was probably 4 a.m. by the time we had dinner and slept. And, after a long time, we enjoyed the kind of sleep we used to enjoy in our college days . That day became one of the most memorable days in our lives.

This serious discussion on the bank of the river was unexpected.

That was the last night of our reunion.

All three of us came to drop dd at airport and once again, the four of us hugged, just like we had on the last day of college.

'Who's going to cry first?' dd asked. But all of us laughed at that stupid and senti question.

Soon everyone went to their respective homes and it was how was reunion ended on a good note..
