It was a brilliant weekend in Ooty. Lovely weather, nice car, decent roads, no urgency and lovely company. The drive was awesome and the rain and mist made it beautiful. The food rocked as did the hill station as well as the chocolates, of which I have so much, so drop in home if you want some of the 9 types of chocolates that I bought.
But all this is ok, and I would have enjoyed it anyways, even if I was alone. What then made it so nice?
The only thing that made it so special is that it brought back so many feelings and committments that were pushed to the back of our minds. I, actually, we realized that the friends from college are still as important, if not more, at this point in time. We need each other, if not for anything else, just say "I love you for what you are and I will be around if you need me." Just a confirmation of the fact that we can be liked, that we are nice people, and that there is someone who is just a call away.
Some of us in the group are in love and will be married sooner or later. But we still need these friends, the good old friends from engineering days who will always be there, like us for whatever we are and will become.
In this trip, we realized this and this one thing, makes the whole trip so so worth it.
Keep in touch people, for nothing else in the world, not all the money, cars houses or holidays will take us through a rough patch in life, or even more simply, make us feel like the most special people in the world.
P.S. I wish this was a post in a physical diary, the ink would have smudged. Che che!
