Friendships and memories

It’s a funny thing this memory lane.. some memories are good and some not so much… either way they bring back so many emotions you thought you had forgotten..

Today I went to Hanumanthnagar, the place I was born in, the place which saw me for my first 18 years, the place where I went to school for the first time.. every stone, every lamp post, every tree has a story and going there after 10 years made me re-live all of them.

Its funny how some things just remain in your mind and they come back to you at odd times. Walking through the streets reminded me of my first crush, the first time I feel on my face J, the bakery I loved eating egg puff from and soo many other random thoughts..

I also went to this store where I bought ALL my bedspreads from. Not coz I loved bedspreads but coz there was this cute little boy in that store who I had a huge crush on. 20+ yrs later this sweet little boy, not a little boy anymore J, still remembered me, called me by my name and made my day by asking me “ Are you a model now?” JJ… ohhhh those were the days J

Anyway, there were also sad memories from my little trip down memory lane.. memories of being left alone at home with no friends, memories of people I loved back then who are no where to be seen now; memories of the days my grandmom used to live with us… Sometimes I wonder why my brain stores such memories.. What good does it bring??

Anyway, some of my fondest memories are from my college days from RV.. That’s where I met Suman Karthik. At that time she pissed me off a lot, coz she never remembered my name; she would hug random people and yap with them and not even know who they were; she would hit on really ugly men and almost always make me pay for all her coffee’s. Little did I know that 16 yrs later, I would still be paying for her coffees and saving her from ugly men. This blog is in memory of all these 16 wonderful years that she has been my friend..

I am not a big believer of friendship days but she makes me believe in Friendship and to her I owe a lot of my happy days..

Happy friendship day my friend !!
