Given that I come from a very small town in central India, it’s astonishing how many of my childhood friends now live in USA. We went to same school, played and grew up together. Around 10 of us got together (some flew, some drove) for a long weekend break and rented a big house in Poconos. Lot of food and alcohol was consumed over late night chats. Really had a great time and we were almost in tears when departing.
It’s very hard to make new friends, especially very close ones, as an adult. I am glad and fortuate to have such friends with whom I can be unfiltered.
Cherish your close friends and keep them close. Here is hoping that we meet again in couple of years.
