When ways part - II

Over time a series of other such incidents happened with me.......which made me close to others.....once I understand people......I am very extrovert and easy to get along with........I started responding people in a more friendly way...........I started accepting everyone the way they were............eventually, every one became friendly.......and some of them emerged out as friends for lifetime..........ironically and to my surprise.......most of such were the ones whom I did not like at first meet..........Saurabh, Somesh, Vipin etc............but later they all proved to be lasting friends when they unwrapped their real qualities which were hiding under the deceptive sheath of their appearance..........the unrest within me slowly fainted and retarded..........I then missed my home and school life less often..........the fun and enjoyment took a new phase..........a new stage of life where a teenage was rapidly transforming to an adult..........this new phase of life played as an acute and crucial mentor for me...............I heeded the importance of friends in life and understood how hard it is to appreciate the beauty of life without them.......I did not want to become alone again.......I wished this voyage would continue lifetime.......but we all have some personal commitments.......some commitments which are far more important than just enjoying life together..........getting a job, earning money, getting a life partner, having a family, supporting family etc etc................I knew these items were there on our roadmap and we often discussed it...........some had even planned it..........but I did not have even slightest intuition that the rendezvous with those milestones will come this early..........and finally we would all have to part our ways..........it has been 8 years since we stayed together..........we spent most of our times together in these years..........we shared almost everything (except our undergarments) between each other...........and now we are now close to a juncture where we cannot carry on anymore.................preferences are changing in life...........some want to support retired parents...........some want to move close to hometown for family reasons............some want to get married and settled..........while some just want to make more money......I understand that all these means are justified and that they are important...........I have every reason to accept that I cannot hold the time in my fist pack...........now matter how hard I try..........it would slip away..........and things will continue to change...........someone has well said..........everything in this world is changing except the “change” itself..........I know now why..........it is a gentle indication that the honeymoon time with friends is over and it’s time to look forward to the life which has attained new dimensions, with new requisites, new challenges..........but before that and through this blog I want to wish Good luck to all those college friends who have helped me whenever I needed.......I wish them best in their personal and professional life.....
