Interesting thing

P - a friend from school - and I spoke on the phone today (I never had thick friends from school anyways - but he was one of the nicer ones - We used to sit on the bench together back in class IX when we met first - we took tuitions together, study together - take the same school bus - watched movies together taking permission from parents and all - we were friends till we left for colleges outside town and then we lost touch)

He was home for a break from some MBA course for Puja - and now he lives like a 10 minute walk from our place - so i took the walk and visited him today - the guy hasnt changed that much - he claims that i speak different, look different..- remember this is like after 8 years -

What struck me as odd after i got back - after about 15 mins of small talk - i cant fucken think of anything to talk about with the guy - we finally asked each other about the other kids we used to be with - half of whom i dont remember - and the rest i havent heard of in many years - so it was mostly him telling me stuff and me saying "oh him" "oh him" "oh okay"

Now i have nothing against the guy nor is there anything wrong with him - but i bring this up because i guess its something a guy like me always has to think of - to spend time, effort and develop a consistency in approach when making, retaining friends & social ties - its like moving from one phase of life to another - burning bridges as you go along - not really keeping any1 else along

Maybe i have a different sort of life - maybe every1 has this problem with old friends and stuff - but i am kind of worried if i have a bigger problem - i even remember one time about 6 months before - some guy from college called me up and was like chatting with me - and me thinking "fuck! I dunno what to say to him"

It'll be interesting to see what other people feel in this context (especially those living single, adult lives - and working - not studying or something)
