There are people you meet years down the line and you can pick the thread of conversation up right where you left. They manage to remember the right things (and a few wrong ones too!) and accept that some habits WILL change. After all fart jokes stopped being funny after 7th standard, didn't they? As have Elle 18 nail polishes with sparkles and 'frocks' on college-going females.
Then there are some whom you met twenty days ago and now there is a chasm of disconnect. And you wonder, why on earth am I friends again? :-s How difficult is for people catch up with someone in real time? Why should someone be fixated on how you were and what you believed in, what now seems, another lifetime?
This is when you are barely months out of college and strangely in the same city. Makes me shudder to think of those people who have now moved on to other cities and even continents.

Hi Ellie, stumbled upon your blog. I guess you're not alone. I'm 23 and have similar thoughts! Must be the age. If I'm not wrong you've moved from Mum to Hyd?
I've moved from Hyd to Mum. Should be good keeping in touch with you. You go up in my blogroll... :)
Amlan~ Its hardly the past is it? 6 month aint a lifetime. And still the point remains every seconds' experiences changes you on a real time basis, atleast at some level. And how difficult is it to at the right time remember it or forget.
