Those were the best days of my life...

No.. I did not attend Bryan Adams concert in m’bai… though I would have luved to juss for this song atleast. Met lotz of my school buddies in the last fortnight. Not in person but online on orkut. Most of them now don’t live in Pune... some have gone abroad or in other Indian states for further studies… some r working in Pune or some other place. The gist is tht meeting personally has taken a backseat n chatting has come forth. Also chatted with some of my frnds with whom I had lost contact after leaving my old school (in 2nd grade) .. n it is an amazing feeling tht ppl still remember u by ur name after around 14-15 yrs down the lane. I m not averse to chatting online (nowadays I chat around 80% of the day) but wht I always wish is face-to-face conversations. U can’t judge the person’s real mood frm the smileys n emoticons… n I personally feel tht one learns to -listen- in real conversations. Wht I crave for is a gud conversation with a coffee mug to accompany n loads of topics to discuss along. Instead of continuously hammering the keyboard I prefer to hammer the person by my talking .. lollz

Took out the photo file frm my cupboard n recalled many of the days gone by. If I had a choice of revisiting my life back in school or college, I will definitely choose school over the latter. I did have fun in college, but wht I will treasure more are the schooldays. It also struck me tht I don’t have all the class photographs with me. If any of my school classmates (if they visit here) has them, pls forward me to complete the whole set. Wishing all my buddies a gr8 life ahead…

This pic is frm the annual gathering when I was in the 3rd grade.. dressed up for some dance it seems. I m the rightmost in the upper row. More pics

i've spotted you in all your pix :)
i'm still very much in touch with my some of my childhood friends. in fact, there were the ones who remained with me afterall this years!

come to think of it, i only had my kindergarden picture. my parents moved around a lot..so i never really stayed long in one place.

Sudeep, I agree with you about the face to face conversations. I prefer them over talking through a computer. They are so impersonal.

I understand sometimes it's easier to talk on the comp, but nothing will ever beat talking in person.

Ar Ar Ar Arrrrr said...
