I called them Brothers....

It was at 2.30 in the afternoon, once I finished my questionaire to people on to where they are traveling for the thanks giving holidays.... I saw this message in IM, "we may go anywhere for these holidays, be prepared...." I wasn't surprised! Because I knew him... He always made the last moment plans which were fun actually!!!

WE! The Large, Medium and Small! The S, M and R! It was fun always, when we 3 get together!

And like always, we made the last moment plan and after the "n" number of confusions on where to go, we decided and headed to North Dakota, with our new GPS!  *** That was the one good thing. They told me to get a GPS***

I always felt safe with them. And there was something special for me in this trip. I get to drive on highways for the first time. :) The entire trip was fun. We enjoyed each moment....

It was the last day of the trip. We at Manitoe, Pike's Peak. After our trip to the mountain in Cog Rail, we were all tired and we decided to take enough rest before we start driving back.... It was my bad I started behaving cranky to them from 5 in the evening to take me to see arround that place. They were tired....They wanted to rest....They tried convincing me... I started behaving like a kid....

The scene changed. They were mad at me. Even though, they took me out! S was feeling bad.. He gave me and M, a worry angel, he bought it from a shop in that town! *** I believe in that! A guardian angel to take care of you ***

Then, we had our great meal of that day.. a wonderful dinner at a Chinese restaurant there.... We were the only guys dining there at that time! It was nice and peaceful.... We started our drive back at 10.30 PM.... I was all the way sleeping until 2.30 or 3.00 AM, when they interchanged the driving....

We stoped at a Pitstop at 8.30 in the morning. Then I started driving after the way too much sleep in the car! I'm bad at driving... I have problem in seeing the blind spot and changing lanes...I know all these....But still I want to drive.... M was navigating me.... He had to yell at me manytimes... For yelling at me, I fought with him like I fight with my own brother (if I had one!)..... After all these, we reached back at arround 2'O clock in the afternoon.... I felt good that we reached back....I was tired.... The rest of that Sunday went without doing anything except resting at home!

The next week we 3 met at work...the whole went without anything special... We had one lunch together on Friday! And that was it!

I look back now... I'm trying to figure out what went wrong..... When I see both of them, and say "hi", I cry inside for the reason that we are not the same as before! What happened to that most acclaimed friendship?

3 weeks later our thanks giving trip, now when I write this... I know one thing that we are no more the same.... Each time I see you both, I wish and think, will things change? Will we go to our usual spots again together? Will we three stop for few minutes and crack jokes together again?............. Then I asked myself....was that just a seasonal friendship for you or for me? I don't get an answer for all these..... But I know, I cherish all the moments shared with you guys! The faded memories..............

With all smiles,
All the best!
