Searching old friends - I


We have grown up now, so are our childhood friends from whom we got away while running in the race of life. While growing up, we went through a plethora of changes in our environment. Most of the times these changes were only due to the need of "something better", sometimes it was the need of a better house which caused the change, and sometimes it was need of better city itself. Better school, better ambience, better society, better business, better....... We were bound to face the changes due to the needs of "grown ups" at that time.

Time passed. Memories got diminished. We ourselves are grown ups now, we have our own needs and in run of life we are also imposing this change upon others. Can't help it. And its a trend of life. So better be happy going along the path. Nature also helps us in doing so by giving us "power" to forget, so, we find it difficult to recollect the feeble memories of our childhood.

But still, there were some things or some people along the journey of life who had made their places in our hearts. You miss your old childhood friends. You don't have any idea of their whereabouts. After growing up you try to search for them. Thanks to technology, social networking is available to us, so most of the time we are lucky enough to  find our childhood friends. 

But unfortunately, we (people of age > 10-12 years as these days children of 10-12 years are on facebook) are late enough in getting the technology. We still are not lucky enough to find some of our friends. Now, you can argue, why late?? We have so many ways still to find out about our friends. I agree. Unless your friend has extremely complex name like Rajrajeshwari Katyayanilakshmi Venkataramana Vankamamidi (no pun intended :P), we get so many copies of one name if we search in say facebook.

So what, go through all the profiles of that name na if you are so desperate to find your friend. 

Ok, fine. Good idea.

Lets say, we have gone through all the profiles. Any guess what are the chances that you will find your friend..??
