Lives, journeys and relavence have nothing to do with age. It is about being present to whoever we can make a difference to. Friend, acquaintance, foe, fellow travellers on some stretch. The thought gives me hope to keep going, keep looking for conversations and co-creating value.

Very true and touching story specially those who have spent considerable life with “Friends”.
However, we will have to accept it gracefully as everyone has own life.
But all said & done……….Time nikalake Milana hi Chahiye……………There is no compromise on it.

When we lose our utility to them, people move away: that is the rule in relationships; it is not an age related phenomenon, but the advancing age hastens the process. However, there are exceptions and the exceptions are the the true relationships.

Such a heart touching expression of Long lost friendship!!

This really has triggered a lot of memories and emotions…
I forwarded the link to my groups where WE ALL ARE PRESENT but not ACTUALLY THERE !!!

And one of my Friends wrote back….

“Beautiful write up, everyone goes through what has been written by Mr. Patwardhan.

The main thing is, what we decide to do after reading the blog. Are we going to learn from the author’s narrative or we continue to do what we have been doing….”

Now he has got me thinking for sure !

This is the truth. Yes, we want continuity in our lives, but change is the reality. Apart from not remaining in touch, ideas, attitudes, and motivations change. Life changes us and then the memories we have of old friendships become a mirage – real but only at a distance. Sometimes it is best to leave it like that and not try to get closer to the mirage. Because when it vanishes as if it had never been, you become aware of the hole in your heart which will never fill.

I wrote something on this, which is below for anyone interested to read it.
