Meeting and bonding with friends in 'real time'


There are so many ways of connecting/re-connecting and then staying in touch with friends in this day and age. 

Whether its on  FB, Twitter, Google, Hotmail, texting, Whats app, Instagram- its all a part and parcel of our daily lives and something which we have absolutely begun to take for granted by now.

And I must confess that like most others, I too am guilty of the sin of omission-that of taking friends for granted on many occasions and managing via all these 'alternative' modes.

But I'm convinced that there's is absolutely nothing that can replace that feeling of warmth and camaraderie that comes with sitting and having a meal/chat with good friends in real life. And I can equally understand why sitting and 'breaking bread' with friends and family has been such a recurring theme with writers and poets over many centuries.

For it really is unique...

Sitting and laughing over silly jokes, eating something everyone relishes, holding a steaming mug of coffee in your hands and then...

Just..Talking the time away....
Coffee with friends-Doesn't get any better!


Try it, if you haven't done it recently. I can guarantee that you will absolutely love it!

So so true Sunaina, after moving to Swiss i realized and started missing it even more. Sometimes i just think of the times when we friends would sit on the cars carefree and chat for hours of the A road at Churchgate. You post hit a nerve!

Take time out- that's all I will say to you and remind myself too!
