Time to play 'Catch'
My cell phone beeps and a message from my school mate flashes on the screen:
Life durin college:
We meet and then plan wat to do..
Life after college:
We plan and then meet..
The message succinctly explains my current scenario.. or rather our scenario..
I feel a big vacuum has been created.. Miss those days when canteen food was more than sufficient than a 750 bucks five-star hotel lunch, when tree shade was more than an AC, when 21G was a near equal to any other means of transport.. Now life moves on with lunch at food court @ Rs.50 a meal, 24*7 AC at office.. I even complain if the AC is switched off for 30min in the name of cost cutting.. I have my bike "La Poderosa (The Mighty One)" which can take me to any place I wish to go.. But then where is the life in it??
I mostly spend my time in solitude in office.. Tank god, I have CAT to keep me occupied.. else life would be monotonous and depressing.. My biggest companion being my Sony Ericsson phone which beeps at times to dust my memories.. I get a sudden realization that life can get better.. All it takes is only an initiative.. We are at a part of life when we need an occasion to get together.. To share our nothings.. And to get a sense of fellowship.. One day after travellin many a mile we get a sudden realization tat "Shouldnt I be in better touch with my pals?? I wont lose anythin if I get to know them.. Life can get only better"..
And I had one such 2 get-togethers.. It was kindlin to say the least.. One being a 3 person group at Ampa Mall to jus catch up n share our progress.. n another a 4 person group at ascendas.. the occasion was to celebrate my frnd's MBA admit.. Quite an occasion, i should say, after 3 long yrs.. Sunshine at last.. We dint do anythin much other than sit n talk, talk, talk n talk.. Jus makin fun of each other, discussin abt movies, our fascinations, figures etc.
I couldn help wonder "Hey Sada, when was t last time we had such a thing?? 1 yr?? 18months?? or more??".. The only thing i remember when i had a group chat, i was not workin in a company..
Its seriously interestin to compare photos taken in a span of time.. Jus then we realise "Oh, so much has gone is it??".. So how will it be if I consider all those from college?? Or from school???.
Time does move by very fast.. It is very difficult to meet guys workin in the same office or even the same floor.. Its difficult to beat time, but then we can atleast stay abreast in the race..
