long long ago ..time went by and is still running !

Waking up with a farewll dream today,
I asked the sage a question.
Isn’t it sad,
that after all the years we had,
Not many friendships and memories with
the departed we are able to preserve?

Deep in thought with brow furrowed,
a question in return asked he
How many among our own, have we?
Dodged it with some light talk,
joked some more about little things,
but the thought weighs heavily on my musings.

I do have a a lot of friends,
and an even greater number of acquaintances.
but out of all these people now and here,
how many of them hold me dear?

Helplessly track wisps of memories floating away into oblivion. Try to pull them back, only to find them burst into nothingness like shiny soap bubbles of a mirage.

$ Seen the face almost every other day for three years. Exchanged the hi's, the views, the enthusiastic discussions, food and assignments. Never said a good-bye, but never talked again. See the name in the gtalk-list everyday, but can't be bothered to message. Wonder whether you really knew the face and the name.

$ Ought to message a regular, but the fluctuating list manipulates you into sending the message to someone you rarely conversed with over the past two years. And its awkward, after the standard hi's and the protocol based "how are you? am fyn!" exchange, both fall silent. There is nothing to say to each other. The lives are completely different and completely out of touch with the other. The fact that these same lives were closely intertwined just a couple of years ago, holds no significance.


$ There are those whom u rarely meet and funny but true you end up having with them the longest of conversations over gtalk or phone.

While i am typing this, i am, in parallel, involved in two different but equally demanding chat conversations, one of which is an attempt at convincing a friend that he should infact go ahead and ask that girl (that he has been infatuated with, for many months , he was the one who was engaged in the chats i just mentioned and ya was equally in love with her blog which i found funny till yesterday when i was completely vetty for a change (was on a break from watchin movies n series)and was checking so many arbit blogs,reading comments ,checking replies to my comment and getting to his blog .(I usually don't care to read all the comments usually ,ya i am lazy and follow a very few blogs.)I was instantaneously hooked.The worst part is that I knew him in person ...So I spent a part of last night and all the time since I woke up today, reading a guy’s blog,who then I had thought of as just another guy i knew and ,never thought he would be into blogging .He's actually cool ,billion times cooler than i thought him to be.A few posts but nice posts... loved thy blog ....In the background i hear some1 sayin "I am so dumb " ,Oh yeah so correct,so dumb of me ,i missed so many opportunities i had to talk ;). I guess it’s all karma. Everything that goes around, comes around *sigh* (Wipe that smirk off your face ,nothin cooking). .Obviously, I’m not going to post his link here. Don’t even ask.

BTW... . sorry for the interruption, we now return.

$ Then, there are those kind of persons you meet daily, exchange jokes, talk the general topics and forget about as soon as you walk past them and sometimes wonder how little you all know about each other. Thus, making it certain that once you leave the place, none of them will ever feature in your memories and neither will you in theirs'. Yet another addition to the acquaintance links that will quickly wither away.


$ And finally, there are those that frequently appear in your mind. you recollect all the good times you had, perhaps the not so pleasant ones too. But you are amazed at how they don't exactly seem to remember most of it, making all those memories little imaginary moments of your own mind. you might still meet them regularly, but how can that matter?

tap tap, shake, wake up ,Okies reader,we are coming to the ending now, time to return back from your wandering thoughts if u went for that ,or from ur dreamz if u dozed off :P to post your customary comment ;)
