Where do they go?

Yesterday i gotta shoe bite from my old pair of footwear..um...u c old things have the potential to hurt ;)

 SEA OF FACES*

(* means a footnote)

If other than oxygen there is one thing that you can’t avoid while you get through the day, it is the ‘people’

You see them

Meet them

Hear them

Have a chat, crack a joke and laugh with them

Out of these numerous faces around

Walking and talking, Breathing and sweating some appeal more than the others

You like some over the others

Well you also have illusions that you love some…

You take a few steps with them and take some more

Hope that these would be like footsteps in the sand of the time

The more you take, more you shall leave behind

And yeah they are steps in the sand

However, water from the sea washes them off moment you set your foot forward

Memories at times are like a FIFO stack in computers (first in first out)

Pilled under huge stack of other memories and other people…

And so the life goes on

Till one day, something just goes missing

Something somewhere stops

Just like you clicked with people

You probably unclick [<-this part hurts]

As smoothly as they became integral part of your life,

They slide away even more smoothly

You have them on your yahoo or gmail address book but don’t know if their account are still active

You’ve their numbers but don’t know if they are still in the same city

They are in yr Skype contact list but you never see them green.

They are on your mind but there is only so much you can process at a time…

you mention them in over soul searching instances saying " u knw what i had a friend...blah blah"

Until..

An awkward smile at a grocery shop

A confused glance at a mall/pub

A familiar voice over a conference

Or a brushing of shoulders at a movie theatre

Makes you wonder…

Aren’t these people just like steps in the sand…

More you take – more you leave behind…

Where do they go?

Guess back to the sea of faces they belong to…

Sigh...
(sorry abt putting the snaps guys ... i will pay the royalty.... IF any of you ever read this n object )


NOTE: I have a different version of this snap with me  which includes all the people who meant something in my life, which i call "sea of faces" .
