To My Dear Friend...

Dear M, 

Two years is not a long time to lose contact with good friends, especially when we go through similar experiences in the two years - I realize this after catching up with you today after about 2 years. 

After talking with you for about a half hour, I realize that both of us have changed significantly over the past 2 years. Coincidentally, I understand, 2007 and 2008 have been not-so-good for the two of us. The two of us did the same thing - well, almost - we stopped being in touch with kith and kin! I can fully empathize with you, for wanting to remain 'hidden'. Considering our original countenance, does it not seem a li'l too unbelievable for us to have done that? (or may be not!).  

I am not sure what it did to you but the half hour chat brought a flood of nostalgia of our times together in college - mostly fun. When I think of you, dear M, how you were and how you are, I can't help but SIGH. 

I am very certain, though, that the past 2 years has taught me a lot more than what I learnt in school and our college times put together. And, it has made me strong(er), than before. Like I said, life (for me) was mostly shades of gray for the past couple of years, and now it looks 'spring'ing! Touch wood! 

I am doubly sure that life made you much stronger and wiser than before. And, I am also sure that your 'Spring' is around the corner.

Now, here's wishing you, dear M, that life restores all that you originally had and much more than you could ever ask for... Simply wishing you the best in everything! 

I also avow to keep in touch with you from now on - I will.
