A natter with an old pal..

Today I talked to an old friend of mine.. We were not in touch since years... He said he tried around 4 numbers and during 5^th time it actually got connected to me... We never got to talk this way since years may be because we both assumed that we are too busy in our lives.. But sometimes you do miss your old buddies yet you could not reach to that point to just "call" them up ignoring other formalities..

There happened to be lots of ups and downs in our lives.. And I always used to believe he survives the downfalls because he is less sensitive perhaps.. Or maybe he is more strong (yes of course !) but he admitted that he even cries sometimes but then he feels when people have moved on in their lives then why we are holding the same things and crying over that!! There is no point to do so!! And he is very true on this.. I mean there is no point to punish yourself just because others leave you alone..

He said a line that impressed me a lot - "Tomorrow if I could not open my eyes, there won't be any regret that I did not live my life when I had a chance"!! Yes! Quite true... I never imagined that "he" is going to be the source of inspiration for writing an article!! (Grin)..

We definitely have a right to direct our life for moving on forward leaving all the grudges and packages that belong to past in past itself.. This friend of mine lives a life that as such looks like very "happy-go-lucky" life so I always used to wonder that how he could survive some of the biggest debacles of his life.. Today, I somehow asked him this reason - and he says it is not that he is insensitive or emotionless but yes he is strong enough to balance his life in a state which seems quite regular to others..

In this entire talk, I was awestruck!! Is this the same guy who happened to be bunking classes when we used to hurry to attend them or snatching away the books when we happened to be under hell lots of stress during exams!!! Where does all this come from today!! This was supposed to be one of the most inspired talk I ever had with anyone..
