How do you feel when you meet a friend 21 years later -- from your undergraduate days to today when you are a professional and running a family? I think the feeling is indescribable. I was in Chennai for a day and I decided to meet Sumathi, my friend from college. We hadn't quite been in touch for over two decades!(though both of us are on facebook!) But when we met, all the years in between melted and we were back on the college stairs sitting and marvelling and wondering at the world and its ways... I think with close friends time is a non-issue as are the years of maturity and life's experinces in between. We understand what the other is trying to say instinctively taking the conversation to another level.
Thanks Sumathi, the tiny table for two at Radisson and your treat has now been awarded a special place in my life till another table at Delhi comes up next to it.
