I have been to various number of gatherings and different parties during my schooling as well as during my college days. We used to enjoy going to party, dance and enjoy with friends. It was one of my friend’s birthday. Eventually he had no plans to celebrate it but it was a surprise party organized by his parents as it was his 21st birthday. His school friends, his college friends and some of his neighborhood friends including me were going to be present as a surprise for him and his party was organized in such a way that he was unaware about all of these. I get to know about it from his parents who invited me. I was quite unaware how many people I will be there or whom I will contact to as there was no one other than the birthday boy. I knew anyone else. But when I went there I got to meet his number of friends who have been with him during his school and college days. One of the persons whom I got quite comfortable easily is Deep. He was his school friend. I have been heard about him from my friend. My friend had told about me, how he is and all the things. I was quite firstly uncomfortable to discuss openly with various sort of things as it was party. Firstly my friend got surprised as we all were present. Then the kick cutting was done. After the kick cutting we were dancing and we both had same sort of hobbies as well from the person whom I met, the person whom I am talking about is Deep. Deep was eventually interested in the same hobbies in which we were interested in. After the dance and music we enjoyed, we shared each other’s number and still we are in contact now. After his birthday party I have met him a number of times and we have been enjoying every moment we meet each other.

I have been to various gatherings and different parties during my schooling as well as my college days. We used to enjoy going to parties, dancing, and having fun with friends. It was one of my friend's birthdays. Eventually, he had no plans to celebrate it, but it was a surprise party organized by his parents for his 21st birthday. His school friends, college friends, and some of his neighborhood friends, including me, were going to be present as a surprise for him, and the party was organized in such a way that he was unaware of all of this. I learned about it from his parents, who invited me. I was quite unaware of how many people would be there or whom I would contact, as there was no one there other than the birthday boy. I didn't know anyone else. But when I went there, I got to meet a number of his friends who had been with him during his school and college days. One of the people I got comfortable with easily is Deep. He was his school friend. I had heard about him from my friend. My friend had told me how he is and all those things. At first, I was uncomfortable discussing various topics openly since it was a party. Initially, my friend was surprised that we all were present. Then the cake cutting was done. After the cake cutting, we were dancing, and we both had the same sort of hobbies. The person I am talking about is Deep. Deep was interested in the same hobbies that we shared. After the dance and music, we enjoyed ourselves, exchanged numbers, and we are still in contact now. After his birthday party, I have met him several times, and we have enjoyed every moment we spend together.
