A very happy new year to all of you. Time certainly flies by, doesn't it? I still remember all the new years for the past 6 years! why only the past 6 years? well those years have been the most eventful in my life. I have no clue what I did for the 2000-01 new year celebration. But every new year after that seems to have been etched in my memory. So how was my new year celebration? well, to be honest it was good, but not great. It was good because I was able to ring in the new year with friends with whom I have been celebrating the new year for the past 6 years! It was good because nobody in Boston have ever heard of 'OOO' pottufying until we did it right smack in the middle of the road :) and It was good because it was my semester holidays :P
So why was it not great? well, there was a little sadness in a corner of my heart. I have been privileged by the fact that I have had a great bunch of friends. And the fact that we are still in touch is even amazing. But this new year, a small part of me wanted things to slow down. Friends are going far apart geographically, and some are starting a new family. All this meant that I would have one less person in my life to celebrate things with. Do not get me wrong, I am happy for them, but the fact that we might not get together as often as we want to bums me out. I understand that change is the only constant thing in this world, but if we strive, could we not overcome it?
It all comes down to priorities, doesn't it? If you and I think that we should meet at least once every year, is it not possible to do so? hmmm.. I just hope that no matter what happens, I always stay in touch with my friends. After all, friends and family made you who you are. Keeping in touch with family is a given thing, but sometimes keeping in touch with friends is overlooked. Given how things are going right now in my life, I just want to say to my friends "Guys, no matter what happens, I always will have the time for you!". Happy new year once again!!!

:) thanx ba... but this is what they call as life !!! u cannot (are not allowed to) be happy always !!! so we shuld try to make the best out of it... but going forward... don't know what will happen...
i don't see my dad talking with his school friends anymore... but may be coz the scenario then was differnt... no emails...no mobile phones... but ours is getting better... so we should not have tough time staying together..if we make every effort ...we can be together as long as we want...
yes da.. keeping in touch will not be a problem... Virtually we will be in touch, unless we break it.. But meeting in person, am not sure.. Write a similar blog next year to see where were you and with whom you were.. I bet you will say i celebrated a new year of my life time with my Girl Friend.. :D
sai,
I wish things will happen that way
eswar,
even if I spend it with my gf, I would definitely have spent some other time with friends :)

kudikaaran paechu vidinjaa pochu.. nee madhu arunthaama irukkalaam.. aanaa maadhu ?
eswar,
madhu or maadhu, I hope I do not change!
I second eswar's opinion. Keeping in touch will not be problem with mobiles and messengers around. But meeting in person is a ? I am happy that we six could make it for this new year.. for me it was a great new year... - baby
good one da!! all these are part and parcel of life... can't expect our life to be same always. onnu venumna onnu ezhanthuthan aaganum. we could have stayed in Bangalore itself instead of doing MS. But will that help anyone of us? everyone is fighting for our surviva... ellam irukarathuthan .. at least, I am really happy that we are gifted to be in constant touch even we are geographically apart. can't think of a situation where we don't have internet. ;-)
