It's been long since i wrote something and wow it feels good to be corralling your own thoughts after a long long time.
Its been around 20 years since I passed out from school and around 18 since I passed out my + 2 exam and around 15 since I finished my basic graduation and 9 long years since I passed LL. B. The reason for putting down all these numbers and years is now I think I have entered into the phase of "Reunion" and most of my "friends & acquaintances" are busy in arranging reunions and Alumni meets. Although everyone is aware about each others geographical location, social standing thanks to Facebook and whatsapp still appeared to be very keen on having a "Reunion" as soon as possible.
This made me wonder, why everyone is so keen on meeting to those people who faded away in course of time? why everyone is so keen on reestablishing or exploring those lost relationships which did not survive the test of time? why there is this urge to know where are the people who at one point of time merely existed in our lives?
I haven't got conclusive answers to all these questions but I think this happens with every individual. I think there comes a time in our life where "our own people" remain occupied in their own routine, our life attains stagnancy, not much is happening in life apart from celebrating few occasions and repaying EMI's. This is the time when we realize that we are very much "lonely" in this phase of our life. This being alone in the presence of many people around is scary and we start to realize, "boss time is running out". This realization about the finite span which we have got and this journey towards the definite end makes us resist the passing time, we deny to believe that time is running out. We try and hold out on a smallest and thinnest thread of our own past which gives a false belief that time hasn't moved on and in order to make this false belief more believable we prefer being connected to our past.
These Reunions are perfect examples of such futile efforts of holding on to our own past. We try and feel secure by our past glories and we boast our present achievements in front of those who were a part of our past and we expect at least these people will give us our due recognition, attention and will make us feel there is plenty yet to come.
In the end I was able to conclude that these Reunions are nothing but futile efforts of clinging on our own past and feel there's yet a lot come and I for sure don't want to cling on my past and live in any fallacy or denial and that's why I would be more than happy not to be a part of any such nonsense of "Re" Unions.
