things move on...
today was a day of reunion and separation...
i met up with a few of my school class mates... it was nice to catch up... more people were expected to turn up but due to reasons of their own, not many came... i had met them 6 months before as well...
i had a decent time... the fact that we still meet as often as possible is comforting... that people are willing to make an effort to stay in touch...
in the evening i met up with another friend of mine... a decade old friendship... he is leaving town and moving to Mumbai due to his job... we met up for just about an hour... we just talked about the regular stuff... it was one of the best evenings... we both were trying to capture the time in our own individual ways... the fact was never stated but was in the essence of every spoken word... it finally dawned on both of us that we will be miles apart from now on...
without a doubt we'll stay in touch...
from the trio of the decade old friendships, the first one left town earlier this month... that was the point when i realised that things and people have to move on...
because of the long time span, i had started taking things for granted... i had assumed that things wont change... though subconciously i always knew better... but still...
i agree with all those who say that the world is shrinking, distances are getting lesser and places & people are getting closer... u can always stay in touch, and all the other stuff... but i still feel the sadness when such close friends move apart, though only geographically... ofcourse i am happy for each of them as they are moving forward in their life...
the bottom line is... i will miss them... though i'll stay "connected", but will still miss their presence in an inexplicable way...
they will get busy with things, and so will i... i might not think about them all that often... but certain things will always remind me of the past times...
i cherish my past memories and look forward to those in the future...

I think we all feel it , at some point of time or the other.... The idea of bidding a friend adieu is difficult.
Well , this is a poem my friend sent me when i was leaving school ...
Reason, Season, Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a
lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know
exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is
usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly,
or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a
difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do
something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a
stand. What we must realize is that our need has been
met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now
time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is
because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They may bring you an experience of peace, or make you
laugh. They may teach you something you have never
done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of
joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
those things you must build upon in order to have a
solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the
lesson, love the person/people (any way); and put what
you have learned to use in all other relationships and
areas of your life. It is said that love is blind,
but friendship is clairvoyant.
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know
exactly what to do
a nice and apt poem for the moment...
