Last winter, it was freezing cold for a week at a stretch and after that, I thought I had to share a meal with my friends at my home. All of a sudden I invited them for dinner and they arrived at my place here in Ankara. I was surprised indeed because I thought they would not come in this freezing weather. But when I saw them I felt glad that I could pass a nice time with my friends.

I shared a meal with my college besties. I invited 10 of my friends and Collin, Kushal, Afzal, Robin, Ela, and Jennie were some of them. All of us were the students of a local Science and Technology college in Ankara and we share a strong relationship among us. I had to share the meal as it all of a sudden came to my mind that I needed to have a party with them. Actually this happens to us all the time. Surprise parties are a very part of our life.

Though it was not any special occasion, there were many topics of discussion that changed from time to time. We started discussing our recent vacations. The upcoming semester final was also a great concern for us and talked a little about that as well. We also shared our views and plans for the preparations for the examination. Recently, Ela met a new boy in the college and we teased her about it. It was great fun as she was blushing all the time we asked her questions about the new person. She told us it was nothing serious but all of my friends had a different view about it.

Frankly speaking, it was a great and memorable experience. I went to other parties but it was really nice experience. My mom cooked some spicy dishes like rice over bulgur, koftes, roasted potatoes, and eggplant dish for us in the middle of the night. However, as it was not planned, there was some shortage of food and we all had to share the meal together. But nobody took it so seriously. Rather, all of them appreciated my mom’s cooking. In fact, my friends got a chance to meet together after a long time. They wanted to leave the house after dinner but I did not allow them as it started to snow heavily. So, they stayed for a couple of hours for me.

Since we were best friends, I wanted to give them a treat. They undertook huge troubles for me that very night. I felt lucky because I had a great circle of friends and I was grateful to them.
