Most moments in life are short and become memorable after they are gone…
All of us (friends and classmates) have different experiences and possibly different expectations! We lived close by, yet we were far from each other. We spoke once in a while, yet we were never talked about each other. After sharing benches, lunch and jokes for almost 10 years (may be more) is that all we care about each other? Why is it I know so little about a friend who told me how to dress, how to write and how to play? These questions often eat into my sleep and worse I feel there is none that has the time to listen… purri and uday are exceptions. I sometimes feel that these were among the few people whom I knew a little about and probably they know a bit about me. We wonder whether we were the only few who are stuck-up in our past and want to be so.
I write quite a bit about my friends in Hyderabad, Chennai, Saragur and other places.. most times it is filled with regret. I miss my friends and worse I have no idea of how I can do better than regretting.
A few days back, a bunch of us met at McDonald's and had a great time. It is always a pleasure to recall the old days and re-live our times (most of us had much better sense of humor then), I am sure many wouldn't disagree. How much ever we enjoy as a group, I find it surprising that we need a "good" occasion to meet. This time it was one of us flying off! (I hope he would remember us and come back to meet us some day). Just as we were getting comfortable with the food, the place and more importantly each other some one threw this idea of going to Goa. I felt they had done it very early into the meeting, however, to my surprise almost everyone instantly agreed to be a part of it, putting an end to my cynicism.
As of now, the plan is on and some 11 of us are heading to Goa in the days to come. I am really excited and looking forward for the visit.. actually looking forward to meet my friends again! I really wish all of us make it to the trip and live a few of the moments we might relish all our life. Even as I type this.. I am sure at least few more are dreaming of what we would be doing there in Goa.. lets live it!

I am not quite sure of how I wanted to write this. But this is how it came out. This is dedicated to my friends - all those "B" section walas who will make it to the trip and paapi, kabani among many others!
