Sour and Sweet

In the past few years,i had lost contacts with most of my friends,except for one or two.Recently i tried to contact 2 of my friends,who were part of my college gang. We had a girls only gang ( were from different dept), and then the mixed gang ( this was only my CSE dept).

First i called one of my G.friend, last i spoke to her was sometime in the year 2000.

Excerpts of our conversation :
Hey, where r u calling from...Iam in US and got ur no and so i thought i could talk to u...
Well, then to get start , it was a brief of her bay are life and then the conversation was about U.S life,
and their dilemma to move back to India as they have 2girl kids ( iam thinking of bloggin on this seperatley,bcos every house i go where there are girl child, the topic is their for discussion ),
and then she started asking me about life in India, the infrastructure, education and stuff like that,
and then finally we xchanged our email ids and said cya later . Our whole conversation was in english.

The next was a boy, he was also a very close friend,he was the shy one in the gang, so u can imagine the hard times he would have had with us. But he was very dear to all of us, very warm person. I got only his email id, so i wrote to him. Next day he had replied, and i could sense that old friendship was still there. He had asked for my phone no, and he called me from India and spoke to me for few mts. There was absolutely no formal conversation, we recollected some funny moments, pulled each other,we did talk about our families, i have met his wife when he was just married and we lost touch , now we decided we will meet as families when we get back to India, and keep in touch. We may meet or not, but it was a moment to savour.

I just felt like writing this. We all change as we grow, priorities change, innocense is lost,
no time for small pleasures and moments, simple and plain is outdated, accepted life's like that ,,, Yet somehow sweet to immerse yourself in the past ... i was left with mixed feelings after speaking to both my friends, they were sour and sweet, i think we need both in life.
