Here goes the story of how my gang-'mithu' was created.
First let me tell you what does the word 'mithu' means. Its a Gujarati/Hindi word which means sweet. But we have another meaning for mithu. We are 5 ppl-Me i.e. Rujoota, Amity, Vidhi Shah(i.e. my sister), Vidhi Patel and Nirali. Mithu's special full form is as follows:
M - Maitri(Amity/Chashmish/Tameti/Formatting Queen/Prem etc etc 100s of nick names) means friendship
I - Idealistic(Vidhi Patel/Chakli)
T - Twee(Nirali/Lali/Lalu/Laludi etc) means sweet
H - Hasti(thats me) means always smiling
U - Utsahi(Vidhi Shah/Chakudi) means Enthusiastic
Each full form is the characteristic of the person. Generally we call each other by their nick names only-nick names are also created by mithu.
Lali was with me in 11th std in Noble classes. We became great friends. In 12th Lali had personal tuition and I was at Nobles itself but hey, we were still in contact with BSNL phone And then at the end of 12th almost in jan or feb (ask Amity for date) I met Amity at Nobles(hamari pehli mulakat…hehe...). She was taking her 12th classes there only but in different batch. We only just knew each other by name then…bcoz we both 'were' rankers ;). Smart ppl! One day when we actually met and discussed abt some paper or studies (we always do) and she told me where her home is. We both realized that we stay so much near!!! Anyways then we started coming at each other’s place for studying and all. I told both Lali and Chashmish abt each other and then they met at Noble’s practical classes after exams. So here I was sort of link for both of them. After that Lali took admission in B.Sc clg. I and Amity was in Nirma, but in different branches. Chakli was in my class in IT. I mostly sat with Shweta and she just sat with us in recess and all. I didn’t know how she is then bcoz she's a lil introvert kind. But after some time, we started sitting together. It turned out to be good coz we started talking lots of things(initially I and Shweta was lil confused as to wht to talk with her coz she used to talk very less!) Then I came to know that she’s actually logical and intelligent kind. Then we started meeting for studies. Later Amity also joined us. And my sis was always there laughing and shouting and telling how I harass her and all. She can mix with any group (good quality actually). Chakli likes to teach very much so now my sis got her teacher. And then we took Chakli to visit Lali’s place once or twice so Chakli also became the part of our lot. Hence it was I who introduced one another and Lali always thanks me for that. Thats why, they call me 'source of all good things'. But hey, I’m not the only one. The best link is our diary. Without diary we could not have been such a great friends coz it was diary for which we mostly met and had a great laugh and fun and what not!
Lali has done with her B.Sc in Chemistry and masters too. She got married recently. She is at Bharuch now, doing job in some pharma company. Chakli is at Calicut for her masters. She's interested in being a teacher. My sis is interested in doing MBA but not sure. As of now, she is Cognizant, Pune. Chashmish is in a company called AMDOCS in Pune and I'm in CGI, Pune. We 3 are fortunately in one city as of now, but we always remain in contact with one another by our special mail account called mithumahek(which has a story in its own)
Aha! Long story... But it is a short introduction on how our friendship began. As I stated, although we stay in separate places, will always stay in one another's hearts.
Hulchul ho dil me mile jab hum tum
Suhane weather me, mile jab hum tum
