YoYo,
My travel schedule over the past month and the forthcoming forthnight has been absolutely crazy. First travelled to San Jose for an interview and headed back to Miami.Next morning I left for Glens Falls. On the w/e I scooted off to NYC which is a beautiful 3 hour train ride. Presently I am in Pittsburgh for the w/e. By End of next week I should be back in Miami and a week later in Colorado.
Staying away from my usual surroundings has been a blessing in disguise leaving me with plenty of room and space for thought.One that repeatedly crossed my mind was how gradually with time there seems to be an apparent loss of connection with close people and friends. I had been warned about this by my elder brother based on his own experience. I experienced this during my last India trip as well but I never thought it would also affect my relationship with my close friends. Time was when we knew each others plans to the last detail,chatted day night on phones and messengers. Gradually this reduced to calling each other on the weekends and now even that is trickling down. I think and I think I am right when I say that everyone seems to be still finding his own space. Whereas once we would have driven criss cross to meet one another, now I had a 10 minute on the road meeting.I hope this is not a long term reflection of where our relationships with each other is headed. I hope its more like a temporary bump which should smoothen out with time.
On a positive note, my close pal heads out to India and is about to experience something beautiful. He wont talk much and reveals very little but at 30 years of age, after wasting time on all activities that would repel girls, the time has very much come to give up the Hanuman tag. Best of luck Manya !!
