Last word in eternal union between two individuals. I cherish havin tons and tons of friends. Yes, I used to have many pals to talk, share thoughts and drop in their house without a call or invitation. Most these who fell in my 'friends' list where guys I had collected during college and post college years.

Now in Bangalore, I'm loner as a large iceberg in the cold Atlantic. Drifting aimlessly in the Bangalore current, melting my time and thinking of those wonder years with my friends. Sometimes I think of the house visits, how I converse with my friends and their family..... all is gone under the mat, now it's me and my lady.
