As years passed, suddenly it seemed like I was not the person I used to be. Times change and so do people. However, it always feels good to walk down memory lane.
It all started with a friend getting me onto orkut. I really thank her!!
I have never been in a single city since childhood. Frequent relocations meant I made more friends but also lost touch with many.
Through orkut I came across numerous long lost friends.
It felt and feels good to reconnect with old friends but in the whole process I reconnected with myself!!!
One friend said that she still has cards given by me for birthdays. It used to be our family tradition to gift something hand made! Of course such artistic inclinations and traditions declined over the years, with work and home taking precedence.
I thank her for keeping them, whatever be her reason :) Of course, I am sure it was not because of its artistic value but the friendship and closeness that it signified!
Next time, maybe I should revive the tradition........
I think I will start with painting something for my blogs..........
Another friend stated that she remembers me by my smile. I wonder, is there something odd-maybe a crooked tooth or something???
Anyway, I just remind myself of the following quote-
"The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. "
And here I go :) :)
And so on.....long lost friends kept mentioning something memorable from the past. All those walks down memory lane made me reconnect-with friends as well as myself.
Thank you my friends!!!
(btw, this is not a promotional campaign for orkut. Just some thoughts on how it feels to walk down memory lane.....)
