When my childhood caught up with me

I am home for the holidays now, after spending one full year in Dubai. Mumbai is good it will always be home but Dubai feels more like home now.

This time being in Mumbai was all about spending time with my parents. I know they miss me loads and i also know that mum will cry again when i leave this time around, hence i have literally not left the house to go and meet any of my other friends. But last Sunday 2 of my childhood friends visited me at home for lunch. Tejasvi and her brother Aditya. Had been a year since i met Teju and around 4yrs since i met Adi as he lives in Miami now. But its been ages since all 4 of us had been together, Teju, Adi, Isha(my sis) and me.

I think now-a-days no meeting is complete without people comparing their phones and Hi-fiving because we have the same model. Teju and Isha the NEXUS and Adi and me the galaxy S4. What to say, its the ancient habit woven into us through evolution - "Who has the bigger one?"
Everything was pure nostalgia after the phone comparing session. The games we played as kids, the school we went to, the fights we had the, the problems we had and the problems the kids have now, the simple life with no mobile phones or Xboxes. Life was so good back then, so simple with no worries. I mean all you had to worry about was your homework and exams. We wanted to grow up fast so that we could earn our own money and buy our own things, because being a kid sucked apparently. We talked about our neighbors, their dogs, the annoying little kids, the affairs and the colony stud.

It was a Sunday well spent with lots of joke and laughter. It felt good that in the busy lives that we all spend, 4 friends found time to go back to their childhood :)
