I would like to talk about my old friend Jasur. He wasn’t just my best friend but also my classmates when we were in school together. Jasur was incredible kind, clever and especially good at math. He often helped me during math lessons showing me how to solve problems I couldn’t understand. One day after I came back from college I decided to scroll through Instagram and watch some real and personal stories. By chance I came across a profile that looked familiar. At first I wasn’t sure if it was Jasur or not. But when I saw the username’s surname I immediately recognized it. Interestingly, his surname is the same as my father’s surname which made it easy to confirm it was him. We had lost contact a year ago when my family moved from the village to the city because my parents changed their jobs. I decided to send him a message but at first he didn’t recognize me so I sent him an old picture of us from school which brought back memories. And then he remembered me. We started chatting and discussing what had happened in our lives after we lost contact. Jasur told me that he had started working as an engineering in our hometown while I shared my own achievements including completing college and working on my personal project. We were both really happy to catch up and decided to plan a meeting. We agreed to meet in the city where we live now. As it’s more convenient for both us.

I would like to talk about my old friend Jasur. He wasn't just my best friend but also my classmate when we were in school together. Jasur was incredibly kind, clever, and especially good at math. He often helped me during math lessons, showing me how to solve problems I couldn't understand. One day, after I came back from college, I decided to scroll through Instagram and watch some reels and personal stories. By chance, I came across a profile that looked familiar. At first, I wasn't sure if it was Jasur or not. But when I saw the username's surname, I immediately recognized it. Interestingly, his surname is the same as my father's surname, which made it easy to confirm it was him. We had lost contact a year ago when my family moved from the village to the city because my parents changed their jobs. I decided to send him a message, but at first, he didn't recognize me, so I sent him an old picture of us from school, which brought back memories. Then he remembered me. We started chatting and discussing what had happened in our lives after we lost contact.
