the pre NZ times

ever since joining orkut, i have been running into people i havent seen ever since i left india.... what amazes me even more is that they still recognise me..... mind you, my memories of those days are not the sharpest of all... but that dont mean i dont remember any of them.... there are a few flashes and a few faces seem vaguely familiar.... but then again, a lot has happened since then.... a lot has changed.... from being just another indian with hopes and dreams of going overseas to another country of "gora" people to actually being here.... from a time when lots of people thought that india was going nowhere to india leading the world over US in many ways.... times certainly have changed..... but the memories still remain.... and now after all these years, its good to finally rediscover those times..... its like a sort of a puzzle..... a massive puzzle that you are putting together once more after such a long time.... so long that you have forgotten most of it.... a couple of pieces seem vaguely familiar.... but the rest is unknown all over again.... its so much fun.... this is gonna be fun all over again.... i can almost feel it... lol...
