let them go by

Dosent it sometimes happen that we actually make a meaningless effort to feel happy and make others feel the same...

i had changed my school after my senior secondary exams to complete my higher secondary ... back then i dont know what was going on in my mind that i didnt quite make an effort to keep in touch with my batchmates , or i felt that they didnt had any intrest either ... I was lucky to have come across a great bunch of people in my new school . so there was no reason more so ever to think about them ... we had great fun in the school , just rocked the whole school with our mischevious brains ... i personally felt it was the best time of my life ... man, thinking of the last day of school still brings tears to my eyes ... we had bonded so much that it was hard to believe that it all had to end ... after that we parted in our ways and most of the folks got into some engg. college across the country ... well i didnt quite get a happening batch in college ... everything seemed quite boring ... so i thought that how great it would get back togeather and just revive ourselves of the spirit to have fun that we had ... with the help of a couple of people of the batch we got a get2 geather happening . it was grest to see everyone togeather again. everyone described how their year had gone and what kinda life they are living ... ihad opened a yahoo group and asked everyone to join it and we had some of our group photos uploaded . sometimes someone informed about the fest and stuuf going on in their colleges ... then we all joined orkut and thought we could better interact there ... but basically all we do is keep scrapping some crap and the same old questions "how are you???" and "hey wazzup?" ... and as usual the answer is the same ....'
open the mail box and find yourself a hundred mails from your friends but those too are some crap forwards... for gods sake how much can you sit in the front of the pc and get amused from them , and do i need friends for these mails , no i can get them by joining some sick group that can fill up your 2GB email space within a week ....
but still people keep sending them because they feel like it is a way to keep in touch..
i made a few email pals and teh same thing happened with them too....
i was quite puzzled about what to do and then suddenly today i got from a friend of my earlier school ... never calle for three good years and i was surprised to hear from him .. he said he was flying out of the country and getting settled in uk .... so he thought of just contacting me once and tell me just in case i was ever willing to contact him . and i realise today tha what is the importance of human contact... the best way to preserve a relation is not to try and make effort to maintain it but let it take its due course and preserve the care on which it is based ...
just let them go by instead of making an abortive effort to keep in touch always ... there is a wireless connection that bounds us always so need never worry about losing touch ... just make a call when you remember of someone....
