Bachpan ke dost-log !!

Some of our childhood friends hold a special place in lives. They bring a sense of nostalgia and delight. The same kind of delight when a child wins a snake & ladder game or when he/she successfully manages to get a mango from a tall tree or when a smart catch is made in hide & seek game ! About 15 years ago there was no internet access, cell phones were rare and even land-lines weren't that common. There have been some friends who have been lost for a long time. But now Internet has connected all of us so brilliantly ! Thanks to the internet, I was able to find one of such friends...It was simply great to see her back after so many years. All the school memories, those great teachers (some not so great !), those peons, those "bhel-walas", those great canteen vada pavs, those recess rings, pakda-pakdee games, science-quiz and numerous pranks :) will always have a special place in all our hearts 'cos they are so ineffably lovely. Hopefully long-lost friends will be found and once again become an integral part of our lives in some way or the other !

Cheers! :))
