This year I decided to catch up with my old mates from school, I think there is this general trend in India that people show off their time (ill) management. Though we were a good number of friends who met up but ironically all of us were based out of hometown and all the people who were in the city were missing!!
I would not deny that we had company of few genuine friends living in the city but rest of them showed off as ‘these’ V.V.I.Ps who had done us a favour by taking out a few moments from their busy agenda; some did not even return the invite informing that they would not make it!

Lucknow, the city that I am talking about can be mapped in span of an hour, and to have fun in that city you don’t have to take out a chunk of your time as everything is at a convenient stone throw distance. Such a shame of not being able to be a part of a get together with friends who you would meet after bloody 8 long years!!!
Anyway all said and done, we were about 10 of us who had this great time and it seemed as if time had not flown at all, just that we all grew up suddenly and had gotten busy with work, family and off course put on a few extra pounds. I would bet any day on my friendship with these guys, they all feel so much a part of me, because believe it or not, we spent 8 hours of our precious day time in school; studying, fighting, gossiping with these guys!!
As one grows up and time passes by, you grow to understand people with a very neutral non judgmental perspective, without any boundaries! For all that we all shared, reminisced, it felt so wonderful!!
And as I say to all who couldn’t make it, let’s make it another time!!
