My Friends 1: Childhood to Higher Secondary School

It is a tremendously taxing task to hunt the names of friends I had played with and/or studied together and/or spent time together in cultural activities or gossip). Memory is failing given the distance of time. Besides, although I had been lucky to have been in the midst of friends, I had failed probably to become a real friend to most.
