It was Dec 3rd, 2017. I opened FB, there was this old classmate who used to had a huge crush on me since schooling. He was at Gulmarg with his wife and had posted really nice pictures from there. I hardly used to like pictures of anyone, but those were really beautiful and I liked them. Within a while, I got a message from him saying hi and how I am doing. I was not expecting message from him because I never expected to get noticed from over 150-200 likes. He talked to me about how he used to before and how he has changed with the pace of life.
It really made sense in that few minutes talk. I realize that there are people who remember me since schooling even I always tried to remain low profile everywhere. People from past still wanted to see me doing well in life. They still have faith in my deeds and my living standards. They still respect me for what I was and what I am. I never expected a person who is handling many regional zones of western India in Amazon India to be expressing that how much it means to talk to me after this long. He has not even seen me in all these years, probably after schooling, and yet he respects me so much and cares for me so much. Like all my other friends, he emphasizes for being good enough in life. Feels good though.
A complete transformation from a simple introvert and shy person to a person who doesn't give a damn about what anyone else has to say about him. He has so much changed with the pace of life. Yet, there is this inside that keeps him connected to his roots. It is always nice to have you grounded to where you once belonged.
