What I missed....
Posts after posts.. my blogging frequency has suddenly increased.. guess there are many things happening at my end lately.
I missed my college farewell. Wasn't too eager to celebrate anything after the loss of my cousin. I thought I just missed farewell, but I seem to have missed out on a lot of things as well. I never thought I would make a difference in a person's life so much that I would want to be with them again. During my journey in engineering, I met a couple of good people. I had fun with them, shared my moments with them. Somewhere in between we parted. I was hurt initially, but then as they say time heals, it did heal, but the very sight of them, reminded me of the most wonderful times I've spent with them. I'm bad at expressing myself when people pour out their emotions right before me. Maybe that's why I write. Anyway, so you see that is again a reason I wanted to miss farewell.
Yesterday, out of the blue, the friend who I had met in my initial years of engineering handed a card to me. I, as usual, like a jerk, smiled.. asked how was she doing, thanked and left. People would say whats the big deal in receiving a card. well, no, it wasn't just a card. There was a note in it. My past was before my eyes. I realized what best friends we had been. Some misunderstandings and everything tore apart. Somehow we both had made a difference in our lives. She is someone I'm never going to forget. I'm unaware of my future, but if life permits I'm definitely going to make up for what I missed - A beautiful friendship.
