Life Goes On !

Today was the last day at work of a great guy. Although I did not tell him in so many words, I really felt it was cool having him around as I could talk about all the eclectic, weird things I could only think and have an interesting discussion about them with him. (btw these are two others who I can have similarly pointless conversations with g and m). He is going on to law school, so best of luck to him. But ofcourse life will go on.

I was thinking today afternoon, I have been in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Trivandrum, Manipal, Tucson and now Boston for considerable periods of time, have had no less than 15 room mates, met a lot of interesting friends at each stage, always thought that these are the best people in the world and I will miss them terribly and will not be able to adjust to the new place or the old place without them. But life has a strange way of always making itself interesting once again.. You always meet new people, they become acquaintances and then good friends ..The cycle repeats again :)

Comments:

People move on and sometimes lose touch too.. but there's a multitude of memories, lessons learnt and experiences shared that they leave behind. Guess they become a part of your life for good in that sense. Some day somewhere, an event will trigger a thought about your friend, and make you go 'hey! I know someone who used to say that!' and bring a smile to your face.

We move to a new place, make new friends and so on.. but we never lose what we've gained from past friends. Build upon past lessons learnt I guess. After all, as people, we are nothing but a product of our experiences..

Is there a point to what i'm saying? I guess not.. just rambling and filling up your comment space :) Keep writing!

Hi. First of all thanks for visiting my blog :) In response to your comment - the reason(I think) women are "more romantic" than men (generally) is because of the genetic differences between the sexes. ANd over time I think its become an inherent trait that has led to the devpt of sterotyped personalities among some men and women - men don't cry..that kinda bullshit. Ofcourse that is changing with this whole neew concept of metrosexual male, sensitive male blah blah...I'm rambling.
And oh - Carol Shields doesn't write ONLY romance novels. "The Republic of Love" was a romance novel, yeah...but not the others.
