Trust me people…. it’s really amazing to meet your old friends and folks. Whether they were really close to you or not, but when you meet them after a long time, it’s a different kind of feeling. Meeting old friends not only brings the old personality back into you which you were missing since many days, but it also lets you have a break from your daily schedule.

Ya, you must be thinking that i m telling all these stuff coz I might have met some of my old friends. Yup, you are right. I met one of my old friends. Honestly speaking, can’t say friend…. we used to meet only over the coffees. She was like my first coffee partner… rather i should say, my first and the last coffee partner. 

Her name is Basudha… Recently, she came to Mumbai, as she got job here. Around 6-7 years back we met through some common friend over coffee. And then regularly used to meet to have useless talks and coffee, usually at Barista. That’s it… our friendship was limited to coffee, useless talks and to meet other friends who did other useless talks… I think so. My memory is kind of bad. And that’s how i got hooked up with barista. Barista became one of my favourite hang out place and I loved the coffee there. Infact, in my college i was known as the ‘barista boy’ for couple of years. But now i don’t like Barista much… their service has gone down and I’ve found a new cafe called “Costa Coffee”. I like their coffee far better than Barista and Cafe Coffee Day (ccd).

I think, we met after 5 years. And in between we never called or msgd or mailed each other…. it was just a casual thing. We were not at all close to each other or emotionally attached. But after meeting her yesterday, i really felt nice. I felt like I m back to my old days. For some reason I was behaving with my old behaviour and character. I mean, in these 5-6 years, I have changed a lot. Previously, i used to joke a lot, never used to be tensed for anything, used to roam around a lot. But now kind of different. A bit serious, a bit sentimental, now i don’t joke much, don’t make fun of others so much and so on. I don’t know whether I became matured or if I have lost the charm. I used to like the old Sujit… but then as and when time passed, i changed. I don’t know when it happened. We had gone to some resturant called “Only Parathas”… Actually we were not having any options other than that coz both of us didnt had the knowledge of that area and the outlets there. I hope she doesnt turn out to be my ‘Paratha Partner’… coz i really don’t want that to happen…. I m not that big fan of parathas.

Since last week, for some reason, lots of my old friends are calling me and I got lucky to talk with them and chat with them. And whenever i talk to them, i feel like i m back to my old days. I talked with Jagat, Vineet, Shijo, Yash, Robin, Shajil, Sudha, etc etc. And I m talking with Basudha regularly for the last week. For some reason when i talk to these old people, I feel myself to be the Sujit of the yesteryears. It’s a strange kind of feeling along with relishing old memories and times. It gives you a break in your daily schedule and tiring time of Mumbai. I just wished all my old friends would have been here or I would have been with them. Sometimes, i think i regret leaving Vadodara. Joel had asked me not to leave the city. But whatever, that was then.

I hope in future, the same thing will happen to me in regards with my present friends. I mean, there might come some day when I’ll leave Mumbai and then years later I would meet my Mumbai friends and it’ll be a rocking time.
Whatever, I m quiet excited to meet Basudha again in coming days. And i have already scheduled meeting my old friends when I’ll be going back to Vadodara. Let’s see, how everything turns out to be.

BTW, i’ve added few photos of my old friends… if i have missed someone, plz 4giv me… i’ll surely add in upcoming posts.
