dinner with old friend

last night, we had invited an old friend and his wife on dinner. well, they made it on time despite heavy rains. But after some time, we realized that we had run out of conversations ideas. and even though we were meeting after one year, we spent much of the time watchin T20 match b/w india and aus, which india won
Seems like, if you lose touch with your friends, a lot of water flows under the bridge and you lose out on the common points. And then one fine day, when you meet again, you want to share a lot, but you hide behind pretence and your ego and don't make any attempt to connect with the other person. This happens even when you will go all lenghts to help the person. Seems such a contradiction, but i have lived with this feeling for long.
i know sometimes it bothers me, but i guess i have learnt to accept it and move forwards.
Till the next time, Ciao
