Tomorrow is Friendship day. The First Sunday in the month of August. All along while in school, the Monday next, would see colourful bands. Different shapes and designs. Different types and sizes. The reason why many of us wore our full sleeve shirts to school, even in the sweltering August heat. Bands weren't allowed and all of us wanted to show off those immaculately done ones in a wide array of colors. No matter how many you would carry, the numbers would always fall less. Inevitably more had to be bought from Uncle's Shop right outside our gate. It was funny how this shop which was maybe just one square feet in size had all our essentials- everything ranging from "fancy" stationery to "yummy" snacks to "minimalist" jewellery. Name it and you would invariably find it there.
All of a sudden, today, a deep sense of nostalgia rushed through my heart. Remembering old times. Of happy times. Of times together. RAT-SHED-MA-BUG. I miss you <3
