Deja Vu

Last month was very hectic for me. Organizing the School Reunion was a humongous task. I consulted and coordinated with my friends to get the show on the road. The phone never stopped ringing. There was always something to be done. The excitement of seeing old friends and wanting them to have a good time kept me going on and on and on.

It is said "there is always silence after a storm". It is so true. I could feel it after the reunion was over. There was nothing much to do. There were no phone calls to be made or to be received. There was a silence.

This peace took me back to my past. During school days I would wait for the exams to get over. Once the exams were over, there was no quantifiable limit to my boredom. Because of the transition from days where there was no time to think to days where there was nothing else to do but to think.

There was an astounding similarity. It was like Deja-vu (the impression of having seen or experienced something before). Thanks to this reunion, I not only met my old friends, I also got a chance to re-live one of my long lost feelings.
