I’ve been in five schools, two colleges, and two organizations, three countries and all my life I’ve met different types of people. All of whom have taught me a variety of things, some of which I have absorbed I believe that the individuals I’ve met in my life have played a major part of who I am today. I always loved keeping in touch with people, having a wide set of friends. Meeting them and corresponding with my friends .. even before the existence of e-mails.
Today I was struck by reality. Many of my close set of friends were getting married! Well I was more than happy, greeted them, met their counter parts and so on. These were friends some of whom I had known from the day I had got my senses. The few people who I treasured, who I loved beyond imagination, who I had shared my thought, dreams, ambitions, were going to marry another person and fuse with themselves another personality. I waited and watched what the outcome of this would be. Surprisingly my fears became a reality most of my close friends got so much so involved with their new counterpart that they slowly started putting their friends in a back seat. Strange how you could keep aside someone you have known literally all your life. Yes I do agree that they have a new life, a new person to understand and someone who could satisfy all their needs, but still. Could they do any better than literally throw someone who had been with them all their life away and would I be put to a situation to do the same?
Similarly how some of my male friends some of them, shun all their mates away when they meet some girl / some one they love ?! The have no time, no ear to lend to their friends who have been with him through everything they had gone through.
It is here I want to ask people to stop and think, how one should have a balance of a new relationship and the old ones. Of course new ones need a considerable amount of time and effort, but its at the same time one should try the balancing act ….
End of session !
