Jai Ho ....

It is miracle when one meets friends, especially friends from childhood days. The friends, with whom you went to school, shared your innocent childhood, played and fought, laughed and cried. Last Friday evening was one of those special evenings when I met few of my friends from school.  

After school, most of us separated, few went to colleges in different cities, and few migrated as their parents had to. And as usual everyone got busy with his own life and we lost touch. It is not that we did not want to stay in touch, but practically could not connect.

Then came email – company email, Hotmail, yahoo, Gmail. But still could not contact as most of the cases email_ids did not give complete details. And did not want to take chance in guessing. Beauty started when social media took off. Came LinkedIn, came Facebook and came Twitter. We started searching for the names, checked bios, photos off course and started connecting. And over social media we shared the idea of a get-together and we met. And we met after 30 years.

The evening was one of those old days, when you share carefree without questioning anything. You do not bother to find out if we do have anything in common. The common thread was the school and those golden days of our smaller avatars in the school field. Each one of us shared our own petal of experiences in different colors of joy and disappointments. It was an evening once again in our life when you only laugh and play, when you do not throw any drama but merely enjoy.

It was an evening to cherish and remember! Jai ho LinkedIn, Jai Ho Facebook and Jai Ho Twitter!
