JOY OF MEETING OLD FRIENDS - UNFORGETTABLE 117
A WISE man had once reportedly said that the JOY that old and long lost friends get on meeting each other is almost equal to the JOY that earnest young lovers get on meeting each other during their courtship .
YOURS , NOT SO TRUELY WISE ,
unfortunately does not have the experience of the second kind of courtship but ample experience during these long years as a contended happy married man .
It is the joy of meeting old friends , some after almost a few decades that comes to mind and brings in the same emotions mentioned by the WISE man above .
ONE SUCH OCCASION WAS THE WEDDING OF A FRIEND ' S SON
The fact that the wedding took place in PAPANASAM an area where we spent many happy years working together in a company of repute helped in no small measure .
The recent congregation of friends on the occasion of BARTHASARATHY/GOMATHY 'S sons marriage was unforgettable in more ways than one .
Apart from the closeness it brought back , the exchange of notes on each others place of stay and employment or otherwise , the receding and by now almost grey hairline in many and the pronounced increase of a few inches around the waist area, not to speak of more than a few Kgs gain in weight were all topics on which many a joke and laughs were exchanged . The wellbeing of the offsprings and their status were shared with utmost pride and sheer delight
25 or more friends meeting after a long layoff brought back nostalgic memories and was sheer joy for each and every one lucky enough to be able to participate in the same,
I hope and pray that there are more such occasions in future .
