You think you are over it. Its all locked safely in the past,. No, not locked. It used to be locked when the past was too close to the present to be left unguarded. But now, with time and the distance that comes with time, the lock has become redundant. You rarely venture there and even if you do, the layers of dust make the memories sufficiently hazy to not mean much. It surprises you sometimes, you understand what people mean when they say life goes on.
All it takes is one silly photograph on someone's Orkut album for the floodgates to open. You are not even in the damn photo, but you are there.
And the funny part is, i knew this would happen. I'd be walking the hostel corridors, on my way to my room and i'd grin about the fact that someday i will look back at this totally unremarkable moment with more longing than it deserves. Turns out i am as wise as i think i am.

nostalgic? the best way to relive those memories is to share them with someone as willing to hear abt them :)
Zaru: All miles away and i cant for the life of me pick up the damn phone and dial, irrespective of all my resolutions!
Kaushik: The one staring Arjun's back?
Exactly. After we met that day, i was later thinking how we didnt talk about the "good old days" even once and how healthy that was. And then this.
The 'time' and 'distance' logic doesn't apply to me :( :(
and before you say it, No! my present hostel is nothing like my old one :-/
though maybe 5 years down the line I'll feel even more nostalgic about this place :|
Rewind and me! I guess I never moved on!
Kaushik: Yes, yes, lets damn sumit! Lets also damn arjun while we are at it!
Hmm, you are right, a mix of past and present might have been healthier. But once you opened the cupboard...
tata birla: WTH?? Dont tell me swine flu did this to your name!
Its been what, 3 months since you got out?? And have you really "stayed" in your new hostel? According to reports you no longer sleep.
Oh the nostalgia will come. You could probably have a nostalgia competition and give prizes! You know what would make it really interesting? If you decided to do a PhD :D
Sumit: Your orkut album doesnt look like you are living in the past :)
As per Big bang theory(the TV serial :P), there is no place for truth on the internet esp. social networks! :)
Sumit: You win! Who am i to question the big bang theory? (the TV serial)
