have been thinking about this for a few days now… communications, conversations, relations, expectations everything mixed up… was wondering why and how people who were friends once tend to move away from each other…

is it that our lives take different turns with time… or our priorities differ… or as Raina says “out of sight.. out of mind”… not really sure…

i am wondering why ppl who once used to be an integral part of my social circle are now nowhere to be seen.. except in some old photographs or some occasional phone calls which are good enough to remind me of the great times we had…

where did the distances creep in from… how come “moving on” became leaving the great present behind…i must say in a lot of cases.. i stopped making any efforts to be in touch… there used be so li’il to talk about.. and at times i feel.. just a casual hello call would have done wonders to keep things alive…and in some of the cases.. where i did some sincere efforts to keep in touch the magic “two way communication” did not happen and eventually those relationships came to a halt…

during all these letting go times.. i managed to earn a lot of new friends… and continued with letting the olders ones go !!! and somewhere down the line i feel that life has become more like a automobile assembly line… where things come to get together… they grow together for a while.. and then comes a time.. when the near perfect piece of machine moves on…. leaving the assembly line there… to think of the good and the bad which got into the machines when they were there…

is this note getting too pessimistic.. well that was not the idea.. the idea was really to find out

why ppl go away… why do we let the best of our friends move away knowing that they are invaluable for us…

why do we part saying that i will be a phone call away.. and not that i will call you sometime…

why do we part saying that i am gonna crib if you do not write an email… and not that i will try and write to you…

why do we part saying “bye bye“… and not “see you“… ( this reminds me of Aarti… who never used to say Bai… she always said C U… good goings Aarts… God bless…)

phew… too heavy a note.. but i am feeling kinda light after getting all this junk outta my head…
time to read the lyrics of a song and try to humm whatever i remember of the music….

Thanks Smashmouth….NOW ME IS FEELING BETTER 🙂
