If one's been silent for a long time, the silence is expected to be followed by something profound. Lol, I've had nothing but the mundane on my mind for a while now. I tried really hard to stare into my thoughts and draw out profundity, like one tries to stare and squeeze out tears. Nice try. I got nothing but a headache. So here I am embracing asininity....and baring it all after a heavily pregnant pause.
An observation: I've used a couple of words up there I didnt know I still knew. :P Last I heard myself using those words was exactly a year ago, while preparing for the big Kahuna of exams, the GRE.
An Experience: Since I've failed to make new friends in recent years, I believed I had lost my ability to bond with and form friendships with women. Though I won't go so far as saying I've made a lasting friendship, I'll put on-hold my belief that I've lost the ability to fraternize. Though the greater effort has to come from the other individual, I'm not a lost cause after all. I had a long intelligent conversation with a stranger, a girl, without awkardness after a very long time. I feel rejuvinated after the experience. Here's to meeting new people and getting to know them better!
There! Despite the drought in things to write, I've cleaned the gutter and washed off any thought-debris. Let there be a smooth flow of thoughts, feelings and ideas, should they rain in on me. :-)
A sincere Wish: Well to all who read, I hope you find friends you can confide in. If not, I hope you get into situations where you make polite conversations with strangers who dont mind taking the time to know you, listen to what you have to say and respond intelligently.

It is so strange that you write about "making new friends", Just yesterday me and Ashwin were talking about how we make FRIENDS (real/fake/any) when we are Young... during school or college times.
When we "GROW-UP" our needs in people become predictable. Just as our life styles.
Thank you for your sincere wish. Here I wish you to Break through to your new facet that you may discover through all those wonderful people you will meet.
Hey Vishnu,

My friend-o-meter has stopped buzzing with excitement at possible friendships but occasionally I do have conversations with acquaintances that reassures me that the possibility remains!
