Reunited.

i guess its more than obvious from my shoutbox that it was about time that my long-neglected blog needed an update and today seemed like quite a day to post about.

its been a week or so in planning and it finally happened and i can call it a success-in the sense that just about (due credit given to Orkut for getting us back in touch and Siddhu for planning and spreading the word and taking trouble with the lunch arrangements.) almost everyone who was supposed to, actually did turn up. It was quite a fun to meet up after all these years for lunch. Though there were initial fears on the turnout, quite a lot of the guys came and it was so much fun bonding and reconnecting after such a long time. The crowd basically consisted of my old VM classmates who at some point or the other-most of them being pretty much throughout, were my classmates in school. and ya it was quite an experience overall laughing and catching up, reminiscing old times and the usual pulling each others leg. Some of them i havent seen in years.

its scary to see that we all seem so grown up, almost everybody already placed in big companies, a year before they even graduate.but ya i guess i am happy for everybody and glad things worked out okay the way we would have wanted it to. the point being that when we were right there today nothing mattered-the place, the food - it just felt good that we sat on the same table and just spoke to each other so long. we headed for coffee after that while some guys split for home. and the amazing cool climate just made it all the more perfect.

the boys dont seem to have changed much either, over the years-physical appearancewise yes.. mustaches, clean shaven, unshaven faces but that apart they are still the same basic people i rememember them to be, the way i knew and liked them and they still very much are and thats pretty reassuring cause i wouldnt want them any other way cept the way i knew them and had them grow up with me. they still remain the sweet fun-loving guys they always were cept theres so much more to them now learnt over experience and education and yet the common bond between us, i am glad still exists and its nice to know that they are still close enough and just a call away.. and can be counted upon and care...

kinda made me realise that even though we are getting older and change is the only constant thing anymore, there are still certain things u love and cherish and hope to have always that not only cant but cant ever be taken away. there are people who matter who always will and whom u can count on to come together and give ur life new meaning and reason and feel glad for.make u keep smiling.

The biggest thank you guys, for showing up...... for making this a hell of a day to remember. hope we can do it again soon and keep doing it for as long as we shall live, as often as we can and next time get the others in too-everybody...!
