My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion!
While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer!
That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up
is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!
