A decade of friendship

10 years ago on this day I started college. Can't believe time passes so fast, it doesn't feel like yesterday (I'd be exaggerating if I said that) but it has definitely flown pretty quickly. I have made a lot of friends, some who just drifted and are not in touch, some who are in touch and some who are friends for life. The ones who drifted happened to be friends in college since we saw each other everyday almost. Once college was over, we didn't make a conscious effort to stay in touch. I share the blame for not being in touch, but I guess I didn't care, so no complaints.

People who are still in touch are strictly "we are in touch" friends and I don't report my day to day activities to them and vice versa. I am happy that way and I'm sure they are too :). Then we have the friends for life, who know everything that's happening in my life and vice versa (I'd like to think the vice versa part is true in most cases :P). People get busy with their own lives, get married and stuff but we still make an attempt to stay in touch. It's not that hard as people make it sound. You just have to take the ego out of the equation and not say why should I call him/her when he/she doesn't call me. This I have noticed especially in people who are in the US. Agreed he didn't call, but how are you any different, if you aren't calling as well.

Had some really great times in the last 10 years, bunking college and watching movies, Vizag trip, Mumbai trip, trips in the US and loads of other times I can't possibly mention in this blog. I hope there are a lot more good times left in the tank :). I called most of my friends today and spoke to them, felt good.

Fed lost in the semis of WTF, felt a bit bad but then you can't win them all. I hope he comes back next year with motivation and wins a few more slams. I don't care if he loses in the masters quarters as long as he wins the slams. Manchester United won over the weekend which was a relief, but Chelsea are still winning. I hope it doesn't continue for long and they start dropping points soon enough. We should win the league this season as well and that would be quite an achievement.

Saw Arya 2 over the weekend, didn't come anywhere close to the first part. The director failed to convince, why the hero acts the way he does and that is the biggest drawback of the movie. Downloading Grey's anatomy right now, need to catch up on all past seasons :). Meeting a friend next weekend, so looking forward to that. Later.
