It's interesting that when we were children, we never realize the value of friendship until we grow old nor we do treasure the beauty of childhood. As children, everyday was exciting..though the boring part was going to school but then again we had the whole day to play. No sooner than we expected we were in Highschool and Time's changed...And some of those whom we grew up with had moved to another school ... But ahh the days when everything were almost fun, except for some embarrassing moment ,of course... And then, College, University life came - a totally different scenario..the realism surges...experimenting on love and relationships mixed with endless sleepless nights ...and dreaming of passing with flying colors..while some of us dreamt only of surviving...and escaping...until that too, passed by...And then the real world, the list of dreams went on and on...seeking a job, seeking fulfillment, seeking life's meanings ..reaching the childhood dreams...
From childhood we meet lots of people through the years... and there are those who stand by us..others just go away and we never hear from them anymore..while others disappear and re-appear.. and yet others just wither.
Some of my batchmates way back in HighSchool already got married and or have children, like myself...others continue to stay single...a couple of them became successful and rich...while others choose to live the alternative.. and sadly a few had already said goodbye....
How now that whenever we hear from someone we grew up with, we fondle at the idea that somehow we can be children again.. to play the whole day....and our hearts jump to some degree at this very thought and it puts a warm smile on our face.
