Authors Note.
From the very beginning of our introduction to this unknown world, the word that associates itself with iolm_fp_m cm FRIENDSHIP & cn h_p_l detaches itself from us till death. It is p_ls _[ms ni m[s nb[n I [g siol Flc_h^! \on l_[ffs cm cn jimmc\f_ ni jf[s the very same role? No, it is equally too difficult to satisfy the definition of a perfect friend as it requires proper understanding , deep faith & caring b_[ln nii .. FRIENDSHIP is a divine word that has its deep root of importance in this universe from the ancient time. For instance, among Lord Krishna & Sudama, both of them had given

numerous sacrifices for each other just because they were following the simple definition of Friendship by heart. So before calling us a true friend, we should go for introspection first by looking in our hearts. According to THE HOLY GEETA, FRIENDSHIP IS NISHKAAM KARMAYOGA => A duty without any desire & it should be !!!!

Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad, 1984 Father. What is it????

My mother, My god gave me the birth on J[h 1, 1984 [n Lo]ehiq (Unn[l Pl[^_mbm Capital) & she along with her husband shifted to Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad, U.P. Her husband was an employee of Railway with a handsome salary Rs 25,000/-. But when I was of only 2 years, he left my mother just because of another woman, (A mfon, [ \cn]b.. Tbchecha ni gsm_f`.) who wanted his wealth only not him. But this is how a man betrays his wife (His soulmate!) because only due to a more beautiful woman? More beautiful? Really? Not at all as beauty comes from heart &

A,B,C,D.YOU 4 !!!!!!
From the very beginning of my school life, my intrest in study was absolutely 0, only

reason for which I was studying was my mother. My mother, after doing such a hard work (which is something impossible for a woman to do), used to tell me various stories but 1 thing that was common in all stories was, all were based on Friendship. She used ni n_[]b g_ B_n[, Dimnc _e nishkaam karmayoga hai, means friendship is duty without any desire, & son give me a promise that you will l_mj_]n `lc_h^mbcj `il_p_l, `il_p_l, It laid a very strong impact on my raw brain at very early ages of my life. With this I got 4 friends in class 2nd B, & bond between was as strongest as between Lord Krishna & his Flute, Lord Shiva & his Snake. We used to disturb Whole class & teachers too like a perfect back-benchers jodi. Some of the teachers were not even able to bear our prescence as our gossips,

naughty games, small fighting among each other, our own world of ultimate 4 friends made teachers insane. One mantra that every teacher used to hum was A,B,C,D Yio 4!!!!, yups A,B,C,D as our names were Avinash Rathore, Bhanu Kashyap, Chirag Gupta, Devendra Pandey, Our names had given us a new identity, 4 beginning english alphabets & beginning i` ofncg[n_ 4m `lc_h^mbcj, Ms ginb_l laughed a lot when I told her about the concept of A,B,C,D!

One Parcel master, One Politician, One Buisnessman & One ?????
A : Avinash Rathore, son of Surya Prakash Rathore, a parcel master in railway who

had a perfect dream to make his child a perfect mechanical engineer. He had made his son facinated about cars (automobiles) by providing him magazines about auto-world. They were very happy as a perfect family with normal income & huge dreams. B : Bhanu Kashyap, son of a Bhramin Politician, Anurag Kashyap, a new upcoming power of our Region. Day by day, his strength & wealth were increasing & he had a vision to make his son Chief Minister of our state as such he used to giof^ bcm mihm gch^ niq[l^m nb_ jifcnc]m. C : Chirag Gupta, son of Mohandas Gupta, a perfect Buisnessman, in early age of small scale buisness but their buisness was expanding too, he used to make chirag to sit on his shop to develop a heart for

buisness, to seek how should one deal. They too were happy in a joint family. D : Devendra Pandey, son of Lata Pandey, a bhatura Theyli Owner (Owner? Really?) with very limited wilf^, mb_ ^c^hn b[m ni facinate me as I have to work on that Theyli on Sunday or some school holidays. We too were happy just because I had ginb_l & mb_ b[^ mih.

What do you want to become in future ?????????

One day, our conversation skill test was going on, as such we all 4 were asked the very famous question of the test, What do you want to become in future? & the replies were :

A : Scl, I q[hn ni \_]ig_ [ aii^ M_]b[hc][f Ehach__l. B: Scl, I q[hn ni \_]ig_ [ aii^ ]lc]e_n_l. C: Scl, I q[hn ni \_]ig_ [ aii^ mcha_l. D: Scl, I I.. I q[hn ni become a good friend.

Sig_nbcha cm i^^ nb_l_, Y[. Ohfs Avinaash was influenced by his parents but not Bhanu & Chiraag, they wanted something different & I wanted mig_nbcha _rnl[i^ch[ls One should choose what he or she likes without caring about others as you are the one who is going to be affected by each & every single decision you take, you have to live with them not the others who fprce sio ni l_giof^ siol ^_mnchs Si ijn

what your heart says, what other says is domn [ g_l_ cffomcih
Bhanu wanted to be a good cricketer not a corupt politician, Chirag wanted to be a good singer with amazing voice not a greedy Buisnessman. & I wanted to be a good & perfect trustworthy `lc_h^ As my upbringing was done on roads of Vijay nagar, I had skills, all-round skills of every type & in school no one could dare to block my or my friends ways, even I had no other name, just all used to call me DEVU but I renamed all my 3 friends as Avinash => Maaruti (as he always talked about cars), Bhanu => Gilly (He wanted to be a good cricketer like Gilchrist), Chirag => S[dhc (A al_[n `[h i` [[nc`m miha S[dhc) as such A,B,C,D were replaced with M[[lonc, Gcffs, S[dhc, D_po

Devus Mother Theorem, Life = Friendship

Maaruti, Gilly, Sajni & Devu, these were the 4 names who were ready to do anything for each other, the ultimate 4. According to my mother, life was the second name of friendship which she had always taught me. I was just following her principle as such I used to gift magazines to Maaruti, cricket acessories to Gilly, audio casettes to Sajni by selling articles i` gs ginb_lm bom\[h^ fce_ bcm f_[nb_l shoes, titanic wrist watch etc. It was the day for result of annual exams of class 5th, as was the coustom flourishing, Maaruti was topper with 96%, Gilly with 81%, Sajni with 80.2% & I with 62%. As such all the teachers used to complain to my mother, but except my computer teacher as I was a

computer expert since birth, I got 93 marks 4 marks more than Maaruti in computer, but in other subject I was just above 33 (lakshman rekha for a student!). Ms ginb_l [me_^ g_ B_n[, no j[^b esih hbc l[b[ b[c? I [hmq_l_^ M[[, g[c \[m ^imnc hc\b[ l[b[ boh. To this she just passed a smile as she b_lm_f` b[^ giof^_^ gs j[nb

Caiptain Gilly! You can do it!!!!!!!!

It was Inter School Cricket tournament, top 10 schools of our city were participating in it. The amazing part was that my friend Gilly was representing St. M[llsm n_[g [m ][jn[ch & iol n_[g nii had reached to the finals. I had sold my

ginb_lm bom\[h^m qii^f[h^ mbi_m & leather belt to purchase a MRF bat & I gifted it too Gilly, with a hope that he would open the innings with my bat. It was Sunday 9:00 a.m. , a final clash was going on between St. Marry & R.P. Public School & after loosing the toss, St. Marry managed to restrict R.P.P.S at 165 for 7 down, in a 25 overs match & 166 Target for St. Marry was flashed on the screen in 150 balls. But no! to my surprise, Gilly had not opened the innings with my bat, I was feeling very shattered but still I was supporting him by heart as after all, he was my friend first. After lots of ups 7 downs, we needed 13 runs in last over with 2 wickets in hand. Gilly had to face the first ball of that over, Gilly smashed the bat but it went for only a single as his bat got damaged & now he had none

other option than my MRF, & being a good friend he too went for MRF. But the fate was not going with St. Marry as it was run out on second ball. Now St. Marry was asked for 12 runs in 4 balls, with Gilly facing the 3rd ball & yipee!! It went for 6 & next went for 4, now St. Marry was very close to cup but still we needed 2 runs in 2 balls remaining. I was feeling as if my friendship had worked as blessing in disguise, as MRF had provided us 10 runs ch domn 2 \[ffm, \on hi cn q[m gs Gcffsm hardwork, 5th ball there straight to the pad with LBW appeal, the whole crowd from Sn. M[llsm mc^_ q_hn jch ^lij mcf_hn, \on this time it was not out, the Umpire uttered. This caused a tight situation every where in the field as well as pavellion too, what I could do was, I crossed the barricades, ran straight towards Gilly with

a water bottle in one hand, I tapped his mbiof^_l & m[c^ Caiptain Guilly, you can do it! , nbioab b_ ^c^hn ^lche q[n_l & I was punished by my school authorities for violating the rules But the fact was that, the last ball too did go for a maximum, a 6! I was happy not because St. Marry had won, Just because my friend Gilly had

won!!!!!!
This was the acheivement of St. Marry in class 6th.

Sajni pass bulao naa. O Sajan maan jao naa.

Again in class 7th, it was inter school song competition & from our School, four singers were participating, among one of them was our Sajni. This time I had sold

gs ginb_lm bom\[h^m mcfp_l ]ca[ll_n_ nl[s & purchased a black T-Shirt with Jal Band artists sketched at back. By wrapping it in a newspaper, I straight went to his house & his father opened the door. His father ya, he thought m_ [m bcm mihm _h_gs & bcm enemy too as I used to pump Sajni for his profession as a singer. Uh]f_ dc (S[dhcm F[nb_l) : Inhc l[[n bi a[sc, kyon aaya hai?

Atleast I, still want to live that period again, a period full of innocence, faith trust, love, true friendship, no space for m_f`cmbh_mm.. Anyway, reality was that our childhood period had passed away & we all 4 had entered into adoloscent period, in class 10th. But still we all 3 (except Maaruti) were uncertain regarding our future. From the beginning of class 10th , we had to go iol m]biifm ^cmn[hn \l[h]b, `il qbc]b sio need a bycycle or school bus, for the very first time, my mother gifted me something, a bycycle by selling her 2 aif^_h \[haf_m. Tb_l_ cn q_hn.

On the very first day of my class 10thm journey, I was parking my cycle & suddenly, a girl, a complete stranger to me, in our school ci^_^ ^l_mm onn_l_^.. Sb_ : H_s Yio! Yio! Snij & fcmn_h! ( I ^c^hn q[hn ni [hmq_l ni mo]b [h arrogant girl) Sb_ : H_s Pf_[m_! I [g h_qfs [^gcmmcih_^, C[h sio jf_[m_ b_fj g_? (Oh! These girls, how their behaviour

Before she could say thanks to me, I left the place. But one thing that suddenly struck to me for the very first time in such a pleasant morning was her face, with this thought I left for my class. But in the mid, Oh NO!................ I too was a student of class 10th D..

Thanks with an odour of Jasmine

Afte school prayer, we all 4 occupied our land mark, our last bench & with this after 4 periods it was time for interval, but what no one had expected was, She (Jasmine, the class teacher called the same girl which I had met in morning by the name Jasmine during attendance.) came towards me & with a broad smile said

Tb[hem, Fil nb_ b_fj . This time too I had no answer in reply & after waiting for my reply, she left the place. Suddenly, Maaruti & Sajni punched gs \[]e & m[c^ D_po, no ni a[s[.. Samhal kar rahiyo nahi to love naam ka eonn[ nodb_s e[[n d[[s_a[ fif.. I l_jfc_^ O_s! P[a[f ni hbc bi a[s_ bi kya, bas maine morning me uski help ki thi [ol eo]b h[bc.

Giily was a dynamic personaltiy, a boy with a very good physique, like a superstar with moneymoney everywhere & it was untoulerable `il [ \is fce_ bcg nb[n mb_ ^c^hn fiie [n him once.

I had made my mind set that girls like Jasmine are made for boys like Gilly & even deleted her face from my memories \on qbs cn b[jj_h_^ ni g_. That night my dreams, my dreams were screaming, screaming thanks to me, nb[hem qcnb [h i^iol i` J[mgch_ I thought that on the next morning, I would go to the Maaruti & tell him that Y[[l no m[bc nb[, Ig ch fip_, ch fip_ qcnb nb[n fip_fs `fiq_l, J[mgch_..

Infinite pieces of heart, like a mirror

On the very next day I woke up, with a broad smile, prayed in temple for 10

minutes & left for school & straight went to Maaruti & before I could tell him about gs f[mn qbif_ hcabn,b_ m[c^.. M[[lonc : Y[[l D_po no ni \[]b a[s[,. T__l ecmc [ol e b__ d[[ f[a[..

I closed the door & started crying like a 3 gihnbm ch`[hn.

As for every piece you are going to pick up, it will peirce in your b[h^ & ][om_ sio nii go]b j[ch [a[ch For the very first time, I dreamed something for me otherwise I had sacrificed my whole life for my friends, But I made myself aware of the truth that this time also I had to sacrifice my feelings for gs `lc_h^m dis, Gcffsm fip_ & qiof^ nls gs best to enhance love in between Gilly & Jasmine, with this promise to myself, I

Day by day the bond between Gilly & jasmine was strenghtning as Gilly was one of the best, when it comes to flirt a girl, no doubt about it! With in a month, both Gilly & Jasmine were declared as the most beautiful couple of our school, ever. In the interval time, we all 4 along with Jasmine used to take our meals together, but still I used to avoid to talk to her as I became

hopeless infront of her & Maaruti, Sajni used to make fun of me infront of the ]iojf_.. Bon nb_ q[s mb_ om_^ ni fiie [n me, something in a very friendly manner, i`n_h g[^_ g_ nin[ffs ]ih`om_^

1 Km becomes 3 Km in Love .
Within 8 months of class 10th session, Jasmine & Gilly were in the relationship & I had no issue with it but my heart had a fin. In 8 months, I too became frank with Jasmine & the best part was that she used to laugh a lot on my jokes, Jasmine was introduced to Ultimate 4 by Maaruti.

Moreover she too became aware of our family backgrounds (Except my). One Saturday when my mother was ill, I had to take a leave for a day to work inplace of Maa at theyli, suddenly at about 1:45 p.m. a rickshaw stopped infront of the theyli & to my surprise it was J[mgch_ & mb_ ][g_ niq[l^m g_ & m[c^ J[mgch_ : Ob-bi!

{yippee bos, teri to kismat khul gai thinking to myself} I replied her with OK, hi jli\f_g & I f_`n nb_ jf[]_)
During that night I was wondering about her, though she was in relationship with Gilly, then why should she needed my company? Might be to eat Bhatuurey, or might be she needed a joker to make her f[oab [fq[sm, gcabn \_ mb_ ^c^hn fce_ b_l rickshaw puller, might be she enjoyed my bycycle ride or just might be she loved to be in gs ]igj[hs Anyways whatever was the reason, fact was that, I used to cover a km distance to reach her home & along with her on my cycle, we both used to cover 2 km distance to reach school, & this too used ni l_j_[n [`n_l m]biif As such 1km had become 3 km for me, might be it was my love for her. Whatever

it was, I knew she was never going to be mine but how difficult it is for a boy like g_ ni n_ff nbcm \cnn_l nlonb ni gs b_[ln

Cycle can never match with i10.

Everything was going better & better, like she used to talk a lot about me, she had told me a lot about his likes & dislikes & to spend a long time with her, I used to slow ^iqh nb_ ]s]f_m mj__^ & ch nb_ qbif_ day, it used to be the best time for me, to carry her from home & to drop again safely to home. Even during school time, she used to spend 15% of time with me, though still 85% of time with Gilly & I had no objection to it, atleast I was getting 15% & 2 bycycle rides a day. Moreover,

when Gilly got absent, she used to give b_l 100% ncg_ ni g_, \on I ^c^hn [\m_hn `il [ mchaf_ ^[s, qb[n_p_l q[m gs b_[fnb. Further, the 7th period, the period of sports used to be the best 40 minutes in the whole day, as Gilly got busy in the cricket, Maaruti still with study, Sajni & I in Basket-ball, & she felt alone without Gilly & then she came to me & asked me to play table-tennis with her, a 40 minutes table-tennis with her, with lots of talks om_^ ni _f[\il[n_ gs qbif_ ^[s The growing friendship between Jasmine & Bhatuura (me), became the top story of our school & as a consequence Gilly, my \_mn `lc_h^ f_`n om, iol Ufncg[n_ 4 a[ha I was feeling as if I had disrespected my mother, as I had produced cracks in the word Friendship. To correct my mistake, I (Along with Sajni & Maaruti) straight went

to Gilly & begged him for sorry & to ask him to join The ultimate 4, again. Further, I told him that Jasmine is just a friend, she qcff l_g[ch siol fip_, I jligcm_ sio& [m mo]b b_ dich_^ om [a[ch Bon ih a condition that from the next day, he would carry & drop Jasmine in his car i-10 & with none other option left, I had to [al__ ni cn. As such from the next day, i-10 had replaced my cycle 7 she too used to enjoy the i-10m chn_lcil p_ls go]b.

Moreover I had started ignoring her nbioab cn q[m p_ls ^c``c]ofn `il g_ Bon I knew the reality & reality was that CYCLE

CAN NEVER MATCH WITH I-10

96% in 10th means a way to KOTA..

After lots of ups and downs through out the class 10th, fact was that it was time for iol \i[l^ _r[gch[ncih l_mofn & cnm nlo_ ni say that every student knows the result at the last day of exam. As such maaruti was very confident that he would get more than 95%, & I was too with above 50%. As such our results were simmilar to our prediction :Maaruti : 96%

Gilly : 86% Sajni : 82% Bhatuura : 59% From the very beginning, I was always 4th, among The Ultimate 4, in name with D alphabet, in study, in sports, in quiz, in singing, in money, in everything. Only thing I was enriched with was a heart for friendship. Jasmine too got 88%, every one was looking very happy with their performance but one person who was very ojm_n q[m M[[lonc, b_ q[m iol m]biifm topper but still with a sad face. I came to him & asked for the reason & he remarked The Ultimate 4 is over. I was shocked to hear that words & I asked him to say the main problem in a simple & short manner & he replied that for further study he had to go KOTA & he would not with us in

class 11th & 12th, though it was very difficult for me but I gave him enormous courage to go for KOTA & told him that The Ultimate 4 would never be over, we qiof^ ]ig_ nb_l_ ni g__n sio, ^ihn `__f upset. But I knew how diificult it would be to survive without Maaruti, but after all it q[m `il gs `lc_h^m jlimj_liom `onol_ & for my friends I was ever ready for m[]lc`c]_.. \on ih_ nbcha q[m `il mol_, c` you get >95%, then Kota is booked for mol_ I, Sajni, Gilly & Jasmine along with M[[loncm j[l_hnm \c^ `[l_q_ff ni M[[lonc for bright & prosperous future, for Kin[.

Jasmine in Commerce??
On the very first day of our class 11th session, I was feeling very alone as there was no Maaruti. In the morning, we were asked to opt from Science or Commerce. Sajni had no choice as he had to opt for commerce as his father wanted him to be a good buisnessman & he had to follow what his father (HITLER) said. I was thinking that Jasmine would take Science as he got above 85% & Gilly would take Science too, just to stay with Jasmine. I ^c^hn q[hn ni `[]_ nb[n `[]_ [a[ch, J[mgch_m `[]_.

Gilly had left cricket pitch as he got \oms ch bcm `[nb_lm j[lns qile & ch ^[ncha Jasmine. Maaruti was already busy at Kota & I too made myself busy at mu bhatuura theyli.

December tour.?? Tour to kota..??

To fill the void in the ultimate 4, I had come up with a plan, a tour to kota in our december winter vaccations. To this Sajni, Gilly & Jasmine too responded positively. I wanted to give Maaruti a shocking surprise. We discussed our plan with his M[[loncm j[l_hnm & nb_s a[p_ om nb_ [^^l_mm i` M[[loncm bimn_f, & mig_ eatables for maaruti also. The money I had collected for some emergency, I purchased a study lamp with that money to gift it to Maaruti.
