For Old Times Sake!

CP has always been the place to reminisce with old friends. Central Park, lovely October weather and nostalgia pangs.
Every time there’s a jamboree, the anecdotes are repeated, but you don't complain. You sit there lost in thought and as clichéd as it may sound, you are transported back in time to some of your most treasured memories. Every once in a while you get excited because unlike others, you always remember the minutest details and now it's your turn to contribute. Your stories, like a magnifying glass, make large the specks of memory under the lens. Of course, every recount is embellished, and frankly speaking, you love it that way. You sit there wondering what happened to the promise. The ‘pact’ that you made with each other after school, of staying close forever. You were inseparable back then(Lavu, Goliath, Player, Dip, AB – the gang), but as it happens in that period of your life, you just drifted apart, went your separate ways.
But that has always been my excuse and as someone rightly pointed out, I have always been bad at maintaining relationships. Delhi though, has been a blessing in disguise. Except for a minor setback(read B-school) everything else has fallen into place. The city has given me a chance, to once again, connect with my old friends and more importantly, spend time with my parents. In the overall scheme of things, B- school is just a minor glitch. But I am a little envious of my kin. They have all, without exception, managed to do what they always wanted to do in life. It’s an eclectic bunch. From an art designer(whatever that means!) to a journo, the gamut of vocations in the group is a little scary. And here I am, the exception. Stuck in a B-school, leading a conventional life of an MBA student. But there is no point cribbing about it. Perhaps I lack courage to take the bolder decisions in life.
