I have been spending much time reminiscing my school days offlate.I am not much of a indulger for recollecting memories with people or over everyday talk, intrinsically. Usually a conversation with a close friend from childhood or when i go through old photographs is when i slip away into the land of cherished memories.
Its strange how what i feel and think when i look at those pictures is constantly evolving with each time.I have also observed that as time passes it has become easier to fess up to integral part of your shaping up that you probably once evaded.
A good friend from schooldays,who now lives in the US,was on a visit to India and was it fun to see him after so long!!(5 years)Its incredible how some relationships are so much in sync without having to try too hard,just the way true friendship is meant to be.Its almost frivolous how much joy it brings when you find out that.
We swapped stories,tried as much to catch up on our lives oceans across,discussed plans..those which went kaput and those that we will never give up on..and we recollected our days back in the same neighborhood,how the streetscape has started to wear a perplexed look,the sudden surge of westernized fast food joints that is capable of causing regurgitation,lamenting over the lost charm among many expressions of disappointments over fast-paced urban life.
We chatted over for hours through coffee and then dinner and dessert,but we could have sat many more hours yapping away!Its also one of the reasons why we hit off so well,to be able to have a perfectly relatable conversations about things that matter.And sometimes its just the thing you need,a good friend to have a talk with,to put the quest of existential fretting into perspective!
