Busy days part II

Hope you had read my first post before you read this...

So i was talking about people getting busy once they leave college...

I got really good comments offline from my friends at office after reading the post saying that it was realistic, i guess they have also mapped with few of the instances from their life :)

But surprisingly my sister and dearest friend at college, who always praises my posts stating them as meaningful and realistic, didn't like that post much ( may be because i was talking negatively most of the time about college friends in that post). Sis, chill that was more of a generic post and was not targeting you :P

So thinking of few more things of what might have changed by then...

I think back in those days we don't really have big network of people around us and the small kingdom of college friends are always our priority second to our family..... but now we have a huge network of friends at work, outside work at office whom we THINK or unknowingly give more priority than our old college friends...

 

what could be reason behind this thought process ? Is it because of the confidence or assurance that we don't come across those college friends in our life again and it's ok to ignore them as it really doesn't make any bit of difference in our daily life ...

Or is the reason that we start taking things related to our college mates as granted as we don't expect them to get hurt given the fact there is a really good understanding between and no matter what we do, they are going to accept us :P

 

Back them our status to friends was something like this...

 

And now it is like this:

 

 

I know I am abruptly ending this post ... but Enough of the topic for today.. :)

Busy days

Today afternoon i was getting bored and have decided to recap few of my old memories from college....Have logged onto my google account which had many sweet memories in it's pictures...chats...mails and so on...

After going thru them i suddenly realized that it has been three and half years we left college :( and if i think of any of my best friends (or for that matter even me ) have become so busy with their own lives...

Few differences which i can clearly see are...

We used to talk a lot and spend time together with just a call...but for that to happen i have to write mails..block their calendar...even then no guarantee that we are going to meet...

Birthday parties we more day long starting with cake cutting at college and ending with late night dinners...but now it starts and ends with either just a breakfast or dinner..that too if people have time for me...

Back then i used to text my friend and get reply instantly...now i drop a email note and don't even expect a reply :(

Back then we had not good resources to go out and spend time with friends but i still remember we managed to go anatagiri hills in a auto, bus & train....Sanghi temple & airport on bikes... think of a place and people were always ready to go, only problem we used to think of is transport....but now even if i have my big Honda City, it's very difficult to find 4 people to accompany me for a long drive (pathetic right ? )

Not sure if it is my fault that i am in touch with my friends or they don't really think i am needed anymore..but the fact is people don't have time for their old college friends once they leave college...
