    Yeah, this was very long back like 5 to 6 years back, when I was in my, I was doing my engineering in Kenraijan College. I was very fond of and fascinated about cricket, so I had, so I had collected all my pocket money and took a new, purchased a new bat, which was very favourite to me and the brand was also very Nike and it was really favourite for me. One fine day, like one fine day during match, it was in, it was in Mangalore ground and I had given my bat to my friend and he was my roommate. He took it and while batting, he just broke, he just broke it and the handle was apart from the bat, so it was really sad for me, seeing my bat broken in front of me. In addition, like I, I had, I was sad and as well as angry on him because he was so irresponsible of my bat, but also he was my friend, so I didn't react much on that. I just told him to pay back me the money or purchase me a new bat. So, this was a small instance where my bat was broken by my friend, my roommate basically. He was my best friend and yeah.

    One of my friend, best friend, she had borrowed a wallet from me during my college time. Actually she bought it from me for a function, family function from her side. And after two days she returned it to me. Unfortunately she told me that it was damaged because it was just by her mistake. Even though I am disappointed but I thought I should well behave with her because she is a good friend of mine. Also conveyed her apology to me. So I thought she did it unintentionally. So even though she is a good friend of mine so I have to forgive her. I strongly believe that friendship is more important than material. So I can easily forgive her even though it's my favorite thing.

    Well, I don't remember anything that my friend damaged in the past but yeah, there is a febble in my heart that still hurts me whenever I think about that. My mother bought me a cup of glass and one day I took that to my school to show to all my classmates and friends as it was very beautiful. So my friend named Shweta broke it by mistake as she was running all over the corridor and I was holding that glass and she slightly pushed me but not deliberately to be honest. So she pushed me in order to hug me and suddenly the cup fell off from my hands and it broke into a parts. So I felt really bad and suddenly I started crying, everyone was looking at me, I was embarrassed and hurt at the same time, it was all like mixed emotions but I didn't react it a lot as she didn't meant that, it was all a misunderstanding, everyone there was looking at us like how I am going to react but I didn't react it well according to them as everyone was watching in order to see some spice up in the corridor or something spicy is going to be happen, so yeah that's all. But still as my mother bought it by her heart so I really feel sometimes very bad whenever I think about that cup as it was really very special to my heart.

    When I was a kid, I had a little pencil box which had these four buttons which gave the pencil box an operative use. When you press the button, the box would open up. When you press the second button, a little part of it would slide out. Basically it was just a little electronical and a fun thing to have and I owned it when I was in 6th. One day after break, I was standing and talking there with one of my friends and another friend of mine was running through the hallway and accidentally she pushed my shoulder and my pencil box hit the ground and it broke into multiple pieces to the point that it was not functional anymore. The four buttons wouldn't operate anymore and as a kid, I was really sad on that but looking back, I think it was the funniest moment of my life because even she felt a bit bad about breaking my favorite pencil box. It was one of a kind but it's alright. It happens. It's a whole part of the life. I reacted quite strongly as I got emotional and I broke down in tears because given the fact that I was in 6th grade but I was okay around a day or two because I completely forgot about the whole pencil box case situation.

    It was a bright sunny day and I had called my friends over for a lunch gathering. After my friends arrived in my house, they were served with lunch that was prepared by my mother. One of my friends got my favorite plate to eat. That friend ate the entire food in the plate, enjoyed it, relished the food, appreciated my mother for her food. And once she was done with her lunch, while she was getting up, she put her hand inside the plate by mistake, which resulted in the plate flipping over and dropping on the floor and breaking. This really disheartened me because that was my favorite plate since childhood. Besides, she did apologize for it and I did forgive her for the mistake that she made. But I will miss my plate very much.

    There was a time when I was in my 12th standard when one of my best friends gifted me a ring. It was a heart ring. I gave it to my friend. She wanted to see it because she was so fond of rings and she liked, she had a variety collections of rings and she was, you know, very mesmerized to see that ring and she wanted to see it. And when I gave her, it just slipped from her hand. It slipped from her hand and in the process of getting it into her hands again, in the process of picking it up, she mistakenly stamped the ring. She mistakenly stamped the ring and I was heartbroken. That ring got into two pieces. That ring broke into two pieces. She just handed me my broken ring and she was like, dude, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, but it just happened. It just slipped away from my hand. It fell down and I, you know, wanted to pick it up. I stepped on it and the ring broke. I'm very sorry. It was very heartbroken. It was very heartbreaking because that was the first ring I and my best friend gifted each other. It was very close to my heart. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't get angry on her. I couldn't do anything. So I just nodded in her way, it's okay.
