Imagine a life without friends; you wouldn t have experienced what you shouldn t have been experienced. You would have never been scolded by your parents for doing something without their knowledge. For friends you lie at home, school, college and work. You even represent their brother and sisters at times to bail them out from schools and colleges. You became their managers when their parents want to know his son or daughter s details.

I would like to share one such experience where I had lied to my parents and office, and even got caught. My friends planned for a one day picnic to Panoramic resort, Karnala in Panvel. The place is nearby Mumbai. As majority of my friends had holiday on Saturday, they asked me to bunk the office to join them. I called up my manager that I would be not coming because of headache. At home I told my parents that I m going for office picnic. Everything was as planned but the moment we reached Panoramic resort, I noticed my boss s boss with his family. He gave a huge smile and introduced me to his family. I was left terrified but friends consoled me that big boss never remember any such things. We had a great time together at the resort. We tried all the water slides, rain disco and swimming pool stuffs.

It was very late when I reached home. My parents asked me about the trip and how was it. I acted and created stories featuring my office colleagues. Even they felt that I enjoyed very much with my office friends. The next day was a holiday and I got a call from my college friends. They asked how I was feeling and had any problems at home. I didn t notice that my dad was next to me when I was chatting with my friend. It was enough proof for him to know that I did went with my college friends and not office one. After much taunting and scolding I gave it up and told them the truth. There were some scene after that but it got sorted out very soon.

Next day at office, my manager came to my desk and asked me about the picnic at Panoramic resort. I was shocked and knew that his boss might have told him. I smiled and said it was good. He asked me to meet his boss and come to him later. I went to meet the big boss. The moment I entered he started laughing and said that there is nothing to worry. He said that he wasn t aware of the excuse or else he wouldn t have mentioned it. This was some satisfying reply from the big boss. But I still had to see my boss. I went in my cabin and he asked me tauntingly about my headache. I kept mum but he again asked angrily. He told me that this would be my first and last warning and If caught again I will be fired. This was enough for me for the day. I was not at all in the mood to talk or do anything else. I just wanted to go home and sleep. But friends, you can never keep them away from your life. My college friends were at my place and speaking to my dad.

They were not aware of the fact that they know the truth. They were conversing about my picnic with my office colleagues. The moment they saw me they told that next time I should go with them for a picnic. The moment they told this I know that my father didn t inform that he knew about the lie. I was red faced and couldn t talk.

This was an experience where I got screwed up many times for telling lies. I promised to myself that I will never ever lie in my life which incidentally is the greatest lie.
