There used to be two friends named Ram and Ravi in a village. Ram belonged to a wealthy family and Ravi was from a poor family. Despite the difference in status, both were firm friends. Going to school together, playing, eating and drinking, talking. Most of their time was spent with each other.

Time passed and both grew up. Ram took over his family business and Ravi found a small job. After the burden of responsibilities came on the head, it was not possible for both of them to spend time with each other as before. Whenever I got a chance, I would have definitely met.

One day Ram came to know that Ravi is ill. He came to her house to see him. After inquiring about his condition, Ram did not stay there for long. He took out some money from his pocket and went back, handing it to Ravi.

Ravi felt very sad at this behavior of Ram. But he didn't say anything. After recovering, he worked hard and arranged the money and returned Ram's money.

Only a few days had passed that Ram had fallen ill. When Ravi came to know about Ram, he left his work and ran to Ram and stayed with him till he got well.

This behavior of Ravi made Ram realize his mistake. He was filled with guilt. One day he went to Ravi's house and apologized to him for his actions and said, "Friend! When you were ill, I had come to give you money. But when I fell ill, you stayed with me. Took care of me in every way. I am very ashamed of my actions. Forgive me."

Ravi hugged Ram and said, "No problem friend. I am glad that you have realized that money is not important in friendship, but love and care for each other matters.

Such a big city and a college in one corner of this city, room no. All that in 12. They had become like a memory, which could hardly be seen back together like this.

In the beginning, everyone looked new and innocent. But as time passed, everyone did not hold back in revealing their true form. Some of these new and innocent people met me and the journey started.

Due to this journey, we met many more, gradually everyone started feeling a sense of belonging. Time passed and that day too. But where was it known at that time that all these new faces would come so close that they would be separated in such a way that even getting back would not be possible.

All would meet in the college canteen to relieve stress from the college routine and one of us would have been selected to pay the canteen bills. Meeting everyone like this and celebrating birthday at the same place and planning an event. From all this, a new thread was formed between us, which would force everyone to live together.

Early in the morning, they left for the lab together with their bags and from there, college teacher classmates for classes, all this became like a new family. Many times the morning would start with a lot of respect (insult) when entering the practical lab. Putting ice cubes in everyone's pockets in the lab Well, when one or two companions were involved in this honour, the heart would feel relieved.

Then after the lab, mixing at the college canteen and tea stall had become an important part of our life. In this way slowly the college full of adventure was coming towards the end of life. Meanwhile, the Fresher party, Farewell party and those radio advertisements in college would have given us a good opportunity to meet and spend time together.

When did the sense of belonging reach its peak in this exciting time? Didn't even realize it.

Now the time has changed to receive farewell party instead of giving. Everyone started preparations for this celebration long before. Everyone had a good performance in the last celebration of this college. Finally the time came for everyone to say Good Baye to each other with moist eyes.

At that time everyone was happy as well as eyes were moist.

The dream of two childhood friends was to grow up and serve the country by joining the army. Both fulfilled their dream and joined the army.

Very soon he also got an opportunity to serve the country. War broke out and they were sent to battle. Going there, both bravely faced the enemies.

A friend was badly injured during the battle. When another friend came to know about this, he ran to save his injured friend. Then his captain stopped him and said, "There is no point in going there now. By the time you get there, your friend will be dead."

But he did not agree and went to pick up his injured friend. When he came back, he had a friend on his shoulder. But he was dead. Seeing this, the captain said, "I told you that there is no point in going there. You could not bring your friend safely. Your departure was in vain."

The soldier replied, "No sir, I was not in vain to go there to pick him up. When I reached him, smiling looking into my eyes, he said – friend, I was sure, you will definitely come. These were his last words. I could not save him. But the faith he had in me and my friendship saved him."

At that time everyone was happy as well as eyes were moist.
