Here there everywhere

i am sitting in a bar kind of a place... Not really a bar... A place you can 'hangout' at... It has a bar counter few pool tables and a few game machines and of course big screens showing football! We are a group of 5 so I am sitting here listening to music while my friends play a round... And of course i am blogging... Am thinking about the day that was today... Had a nice day... Woke up not so late... Vacuum-ed... Had a good lunch at a friend's place... Came back cleaned the appartment... In the evening went for a walk at the lakeside... Laughed at a few things i picked up from people's conversation.... Thought about the fact there is no one i could share the joke with... Thankfully a friend smsed at the same time i told him the 'joke' we laughed together over sms... He was sitting by a riverside reading a book having a beer and we were having this pseudo conversation... Right then i was with him... We lughed together i was there with him in another country.... I was here with my colleagues havin an ice cream... Followed by a coffee (eeeks!) sitting by the lake side... Thinking about another friend... He happens to have his birthday today... We have shared some nice times here in Geneva.... We have talked about everything... By the lakeside... While shopping while eating... After work... How I hated he was a colleague... There are somethings you can't tell someone you know from work... Specially considering the work relation we shared... Funny today also happens to be the day we arent colleagues anymore... I am thinking am I glad he is not my colleaue aymore? Am I sad? I don't know... But would have been great if he could be both at the same time!
Sitting in this place with earphones in my ears i cant really hear the outside noise... I can see these people i have been with for quite sometime play... from their body language i can guess what they would be saying... I am sitting here... Smiling... Thinking about knowing them... Been a long time.... So many people you spend time with when you are together and when u leave u leave... But there are people you can never leave....and there are people you think you have left... but you haven't.... You think this is the last time you are meeting them... After all you live in the real world... Keep in touch is limited to mails gtalk facebook and then after sometime not even that... I like facing this reality at the time of saying bye.... No use fooling myself.... But tell u what... Life is always smarter than you... You say your good byes and then you meet six years later on a trip from Geneva to Genova... I was soo sure 6 years ago was the real goodbye..... But no!
You are going swimming in the morning and another 'goodbye' messages you... What made u wake up that early!! Seems like my goodbyes are never good eough.... Or am i just plain simple lucky.... There are people I was sure I will meet again... And now 7 years and I haven't met them... Not once.... Don't know if i ever will.... That's for time to tell but i wish i had said my goodbye then may be that would have made me meet them.... If not at least i wouldn't be waititng....
Today was a day i could have sat at the lake and introspected... Thought about people... Around me with me.... Picked up on their conv..... Smiled... Somehow whatever happens around u, if you try hard enough, you can associate an incident of your life with it... For me i dont have to try i automatically map it to my life... Even if by a bleak link... I do..... I can sit at a place and watch people for endless hours.... People are interesting they always come with stories..... Interesting ones at that.... Those teenage girls at the cafe... So 'loudly' dodging a guy.... Kids! What can you say.... That tired mom scolding her kid and the kid brother comforting the kid sis later.... Dont think either of 'em will remember it.... I will.... For a long time.... Can't say life time... You know how life is a 'heatless bitch' but i love it all the same.... For all it's games it's interesting.....
