From emotional to practical; from an idealist to a realist.


Remember the times (not so long ago) when we cud have done anything to be with a friend or a girl all the time. No exam mattered; no efforts of ur parents to keep you away bore any fruit. You had to be with them, no matter what. No decision cud be taken without the elaborate consultation of this friend.

Forward 7-10 years.

You are too busy to be with them when they really need you, you miss out on the many important moments of their lives, you think its cool coz it’s the way life is. Most important decisions of your life are informed to this friend as just a mere formality (many time over the email). If its real bad, you might not even have his/her number.

And one day, out of the blue you get a call from this friend. He/she is broken, . jus had a breakup. And as your friend is pouring his/her problems on you, the realization dawns upon you. God I have missed so much! God I know her so little now!

Is it strange, may be not. But is it the way it has to be? May be not.
