My first post

Even though this is my first posting it's not my first attempt at blogging. Had another blog with just two postings in a period which was more than one year. I rarely blog and so it rusted away. The actual thing is I forgot the login name and password of my previous blog and was too lazy to get it back. I wouldn't have created this one either, had it not been for blogger letting you create a new blog with your good old google account!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming to the question of what made me feel like writing this is post is a pic of a friend of mine on orkut. This person belongs to the special class of friends,friends whom I rarely talk to. May be I could say that they are just acquaintances. I study in a college in which there are 240 students per engineering batch.Owing to the big size of our batch I have many friends who belong to this special class. In the start, when I first came to the college I used to talk with almost every batch mate I came across, trying to make friends. Eventually I made friends here and have a circle that I feel I belong to. But there are some persons with whom I have some friendship and the friendship didn't grow coz of various reasons.These are my special friends. When I bump into these friends I just dont know what to do. Sometimes we exchange pleasantries, sometimes we just do an acknowledgment nod. Sometimes I say a 'hi' or 'hello' with no reciprocation. Sometimes we just pass by as if we are strangers looking at all other directions but at each other. Sometimes I just pretend to not notice them wondering if the other person would acknowledge my 'hi' or 'hello'. Sometimes I do this coz of my ego which tells me 'let him/her greet you first, why is it always have to be who says a hi first'. Sometimes I receive a pleasantry that I don't expect. The bad thing is that i have quite a number of these special friends. Most of them are people whom I would love to be friends with. I hate the fact that I don't have the boldness to talk to them and revive our friendship.I used to be reserved before coming to this college. I have never been in a hostel before. In the three years of my college life I have learnt a lot about dealing with people but still there are things like these which I don't know how to deal with.I just don't know what to do and I have to keep facing these awkward situations. I just wish that I no longer have to face these awkward situations. May be I am worrying too much, as most of my friends say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chalo, bored you enough and anywayz have to sleep!!!!!!!!!!

P.S: So my special friends, when I bump into you and don't say anything thing or pretend to not notice you please understand that either its my shyness or me waiting for you to greet me first!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

same as srujith ...i guess i m not one of those 'special friends' of urs... ;)
and yeah this happens to everybody..and sometimes i even get frustrated, 'why do I have to smile/bade when i am well aware that seeing his/her #$%& face brings either me or him no happiness...just for formality?'
so bro chill and let them passby ...and yeah don't ever forget to smile...not for the sake of formality but because it suits your cute face... :)
