Read it whenever you get time...Very nice story...:)

Good Morning Class, Today we have a new student among us, her name is

Samyuktha" announced the class teacher "Samyuktha come here, introduce

yourself to the class"




 Samyukthaa 12 year old girl, with fair complexion skin and a neatly pleated

hair on either side of her head was sitting in the one corner of the class.

She slowly got up from her seat. Each one of the student in class started

staring at her. With all those stares, new faces, new city , new school, she

was scared to death. She moved slowly to where her teacher was standing and

faced the class with lowered head as if it were a punishment.



"Samyuktha introduce yourself to class. Why are you lowering your head?

Stand straight up. Don't waste the time of the class" said teacher somewhat

sternly.



"My name is Samyuktha..I..I...I know no English much..i..i.." said samyuktha

with a very feeble voice.



The whole class started giggling and started hush-hushing comments on

Samyuktha. The teacher asked Samyuktha to go back to her seat hearing the

commotion in the class and asked the class to be quite. Samyuktha almost had

tears in her eyes. She was lost in her own world for the rest of the class.



During Interval she sat alone at her desk, looking at her book but not

looking at the words but thinking about the world she left back in her small

town, Varanasi . "Hi" said a voice. Samyuktha looked up to see a girl

standing there. She was slightly dark complexioned, with a smiling face, and

had hair exactly like Samyuktha's.



"I am Prachi, your classmate. Why are you not having lunch?" said prachi.



"a..umm..i not feeling hungry much." replied Samyuktha.



"Why not? Common I know you felt bad when the class laughed at you. Even I

felt bad but don't care about them. If you don't eat, you will become sick.

Did you bring your lunch box?" said Prachi.



 Samyukthafelt a sense of relief after hearing what Prachi said and started

feeling hungry too.



"Yes I brought. Will you eat with me?"asked Samyuktha..



"Yes sure. Lets go outside and eat. We will have some fresh air" said prachi

and took samyuktha's hand and went outside the class to a playground. Both

sat and started eating together. They shared a bit of each others lunch too.



"so, you miss your old school..isnt it?" asked prachi.



"Yes a lot. I am from Varanasi . Daddy got transfer here. I got no admission

here as my English is poor but daddy gave donation and I got admission..i

will fail sure" said samyuktha sadly.



"Oh don't be sad Samyuktha. I will help you. You will learn everything

easily. Where is your house?" asked Prachi.



"In Vasant Kunj, Phase-1" said Samyuktha. "hey even I stay in same place!"

said Prachi happily.



"Is it." Said Samyuktha gladly.



"Yes, now don't worry at all. We both can study together." Said Prachi

assuring Samyuktha.



"Hey can I call you Samyu?" asked prachi.





"Yes sure, my friends in Varanasicall me with same name. I am happy" said

 Samyukthawith a glitter in her eyes. Thus the friendship between Prachi and

 Samyukthastarted in the 6th standard/grade which grew manifold during the

years to come.



 Samyukthahad an intelligent mind which needed some shining and polishing

whereas Prachi was a creative person. Samyuktha and Prachi became best

friends during their first year together itself. They were totally

inseparable. Due to them, both the families of Samyuktha and Prachi too

became good family friends. Samyuktha just about managed to clear her 6th

grade but later with Prachi's support she became more and more confidant.

 Prachiused to force Samyuktha to be a flamboyant and aggressive in school

activities which boosted Samyuktha's inner confidence. Samyuktha overcame

all her inhibitions within few years. Prachi was very jovial and used to

crack jokes which Samyuktha cherished. The whole class used to be jealous of
