faces from the past

i met up with a friend of mine from grade 1 yesterday. somehow our fathers got in touch and inadvertently we were drawn into a foray into the past.

wow. who would have thought that we would turn out this way? i mean as ickle kids running around in grade 1 i recall we were good friends but we’ve gone down different paths in life. and yet somehow our paths have crossed again, proving once again how the world is such a very small place. there’s a beautiful persian saying: two mountains will never be able to reach each other, but two people can (kooh be kooh nemireseh, am’a adam be adam mereseh).

i guess other than growing up in different continents, the major difference between our lives right now is the fact that she’s married. she also mentioned names that brought back faces from close to two decades ago... girls now married, some with adorable children. i’m curious to see them again, and see the beautiful women that they have become.
