I m hitting the blog scene after such a long time, feels like coming home after a long tour!! I was just looking at some of my old college albums last week & it felt as another life.... I was a strong advocate of the fact, that changes in life do not distance one's loved ones.. But somehow, changes in mine, came like a tornado and swept me off my feet (in a good way ofcourse)! Sometimes, we walk so fast in life, that we forget the people around us and when we look back, they are there waiting at the same place for us. It is we, who in our quest to go ahead, forget to look around. I am "old school of thoughts" girl!! For me, changes are very difficult to adapt. From my bed linen to my office circle, familiarity is my key word. I feel very uncomfortable trying new things. It takes a lot of self persuasion to even try reading a book of an unknown author. I like to live in a shell, my own comfortable, warm and familiar cocoon. And that is one of the reasons, that changes in my life unnerved me a lot.
Yesterday, finally I took a step to bring in the flavor of my old life in this changed haven. I met my friends from college, people from whom I walked away due to some differences in opinion. And guess what, after a long time, I had such a wonderful time. The long chats, the fun and frolic, the comments, the fun punches... Man, I never realized what I had missed. I always tend to run away from confrontations. When I make a mistake & I realize I have hurt a loved one, I prefer staying away from them so as to not hurt them anymore than try and confront the situation head-on. Maybe I lose a lot out in this process of not hurting; I end up damaging much more than emotions....
So here's a new day, with a new change!! Cheers!

That is awesome that you finally got to catch up with your old friends!!
Like you mentioned, sometimes when we wrong a person and run away from addressing the issue, it leaves the other wondering when and what they did wrong. Though it feels really awkward, we'd rather address it then and there than let it cloud our head for the next N years.
But fikr not Minnie, we've all been there and we've all learnt to change for the better, so it's all good! :)
oh yes, beautiful new template for your blog! :)
Nandhini wht you said is absolutely true. Even me try to run away from confrontations. We definitely want to meet our old friends. Sometimes past comes in as a wave also it soon goes off when we move along the path of life.
