Day 6 : Familiar faces

Just as Athena came, she left. :( There was a small issue with the keypad and had to be sent for replacement. It left me wondering is happiness short lived??? I mean these days, I just fall into a black hole, struggling to come out to daylight. I started this blog so as to help me cope with the tough times. I am trying to help myself find one good thing to keep me going. To keep my spirits high and not breathe fire or become the weeping willow. What I'm going through right now, perhaps I'll blog about it later. And no, I dont have disease. Its just life getting unruly with me.  But I guess, when life gets difficult, you need to fight to stay alive.

Find the tiniest bit of hope and hold on to it. Keep fighting for your life and your love.

So coming back to what brought a tiny smile to my face is meeting a familiar face on road. I was walking briskly to the bus stop. The cold wind ruffled my hair, as though teasing me to ease up. But I wasn't in mood to play with the wind, my day grumpy, I had quite a lot of things to worry about. As I was re-running the events which occurred during the day, suddenly I see two people getting out from a rick. That curly hair is so familiar. I turn around , and stare at him, Ha! Ashwin Aryan! :D I smile,  more than a smile, I nearly yell. 

Well you might be thinking that he's my best friend. Well no, we were batch-mates while in college. We were not in the same class nor were we best of friends but seeing a familiar face on road did lighten my mood. We spoke for few mins, since I had to rush home. I bid him goodbye and left. It was pleasant to meet an old friend. An old friend from college will indeed take you back to those days. When life was at its epitome, all bright and colorful. Memories scattered over my mind like the shells which washed up on shore. The pranks, the laughter, the fights and the patch ups. Though those days have gone by, it has given me a lifetime of memories. 

Even in the toughest day, you are given one opportunity to smile.
