When you watch our pages, we are quiet sure that one question will be definitely raised. If we are friends, why the name 3 strangers? This flash back will answer you.
Year-2003
Month-August
Time-we are not sure (at that time we were not aware of the fact that we were gonna be friends, otherwise…).
We were strangers when we met but as time flew by, we came together. We don’t know what brought us close, we were different, totally of different characters but one thing was common between us. That was the great commitment to each other, the unconditional love and friendship, forgiveness and most importantly a strange feeling that we are born to become friends.
The one with good calorie was staying in the college hostel .The one with the thick specs and the third one, the thin local boy were staying in the flat.
As time passed by, we witnessed some strange things happening around which totally remained as indigestible in our heart.
We witnessed many instant relationships (?), the usual coffee shop friendships (there was a good bakery named best bakers, the baking smell was always in the air), the sarcastic jokes and some selfish persons who used their teeth for smiling and biting at the same time.
We saw roomies who shouted get out to us, roomies who enjoyed this sheer arrogance and also, roomies who played the peeping tom in the cracked love affairs shamelessly.
We saw guys who changed their colour like a chameleon , going for new affairs leaving behind the precious jewels, strangely finding out the physical fault which they once enjoyed and praised as the ‘most beautiful thing’.
We witnessed the show offs, the money from the papas pocket doing the show for guys, the filled purses and the arrogance of money power. We saw these ruthless cowards acting like good friends with girls just for telling that how much he enjoyed her physical presence, just for measuring the curves with the vernier calipers of his eyes. We are not against flirting but you do it bravely, openly and be sincere even if you are doing the wrong thing.
We saw good hardworking girl(s) who helplessly stood in the college corridors and their shadow of tears and the broken hearts.
We saw smart and intelligent girls who played their parts very well, and of course there was beauty too for the feast.
She resembled the soil just after the rain, she was assumed to be a cold breeze to somebody. We saw the tears in her eyes and that became the most cursed moment of life for one of us. He wept out and was going wayward, only his friends helped him to steady his horseless cart without any accident. But the strangest thing was coming to know later that those tears which he considered as equal to his life was only meant to fool him. Can anybody (especially a girl) cry just for fooling others? He asked this question countless times and reached up to the conclusion-some girls cry when they are angry and they are flushing up their anger with this tears. The sheer annoyance and the ‘me’ attitude can sometimes make a beautiful heart to a sadistic one. You wont get any me me pages in our blog.
Time was running mad, the one with good weight left the hostel with incurable wounds but the lovable boys at the golden tower (the above mentioned flat) helped to erase the past from him. Ah, we forgot to say about somebody. A lean girl with round specs came to the heavy heart and he loved her like anything and we gave our full support to their relationship. We saw a straight forward girl in her with a tongue which will give the answer irrespective of how much difficult the question is.
We experienced the happiness of togetherness and the pain of love. At the end of the fourth semester, we became one single unit and all ‘professionals’ became strangers for us. We decided that no more pain and cry, we will stay against anything and fight against the adversities. We made up our mind for survival and we survived. Even though there are some unforgettable moments for each of us, we are experiencing the happiness, even after those painful moments of our life.
Now, we are sure that you got the answer for your question. Anyway we will tell you other stories very soon. So, keep bloging.

u guys r seeing the world with a single dimension. thats ur problem.
i cannot find a reason y u ppl avoiding the entire classmates and calling them as strangers. take my case. i always consider Mr.G ( the thin guy from the 3 starngers) as my gud friend. we used to keep in touch till 3rd sem. after that no phone calls, no mails nothing..what was the mistake i had done? during the college days everyone may have some painfull memmories. but thats not the excuse for these type of behaviour. anyway keep going. waiting for ur next posts. seems very interesting and different from other blogs.
Each person who walks the earth has his or her opinion. That makes character in the first place. I appreciate this venture by our 3 friends just for the fact that they were bold to raise the voice!!! Good going guys....
there are three things we can do when things go bad.
1. cry, bawl, curse the world, hate your loved ones and yourself.
2. act as if nothing is happening and ignore the problems
3. fight whats happening and whoever is causing the issues
Whether you choose 1, 2 or 3, the essense is to MOVE ON. let the past be past. dont let college be a time when you just had pain, becuz that is not true. there is always happiness in everything if you are willing to wait enough and try to find it.
there is goodness in everyone. even the people who had fat pockets and the girl who cried fake tears has done something for each one of you.
mister calories? who helped you with your duties in the college fest? who haggled with her dad's friend shamelessly so that you can save money for the food budget? who came with you in the rain to do all of this when she cud have just sat at home watching TV? if you had so much hatred for her, why turn to her in need? isnt that what friends are for?
mister thick glasses? everybody's tears are valuable. maybe ur thick glasses block ur vision of seeing truth in things. or maybe u just plain refuse to see it because you enjoy being miserable! I dont want to be a psycho-analyst here but MOVE ON.. puhleeeeez!! the fake tears girl has sat with you when you had some tears to shed, but she will never call your tears fake, you know why? maybe becuz her vision is not impaired with thick glasses..
blogging is a good pasttime and hobby. please dont use it to get back at people. its just a waste of your energy which would be better used in something else.
you have lost a reader in me..
From the posts I have read on this blog, my understanding is that you guys have some serious issues and misunderstandings.Your vision is distorted maybe coz you are looking through the thick lens!!!
Life is never a bed full of roses, it is more like 90 thorns and 10 roses. At the end of the day you only remember the 10 roses and cherish those happy memories which make you feel happy and content.
But if you want to remember only the thorns in life and wallow in misery and self pity, its purely upto you!!!
Its been two years since we passed out of college. If you guys had the guts to speak out then, you wouldnt have been writing this blog and that too in hidden dark tones!!!
Life is too short to waste over such trivial issues...life is to rise over your obstacles, tide over your bad times and enjoy the goodness of life, friendship and joy God has blessed us all with.
Guys..get a life....There are a hundred more things better to do than invent ways on "how to lose more of your friends"!!move on puhleez!!!
This is beautiful.
