These here days, meeting any of my friends implies having to look for some common grounds to meet on. No longer is it as easy as an sms that says, "Quad...10ish" or something like "Boring lecture...lets bunk the second half..." or something that goes "Library, 9...we gotta start studying!" What might follow would be a movie or just hanging around college, chatting away to nothing or perhaps a sandwich and then a drive or just barging into a coffee shop and then spending 3 hours over 2 cups of coffee...I miss those days.
These days, there has to be an agenda, a definitive and elaborate plan. A plan, that invariably revolves around grabbing something to eat. Maybe I'm missing something but somehow, all meetings with friends revolve getting something to eat and then dispersing. I want conversations to revolve around more than what we wanna eat...come on guys, what's happening to us? Whatever happened to food for thought?

That's what happens when you meet in large numbers... sorry, I'm the antisocial kameeni, but this is true.
One on one is more like worth it.
Hmmm...not just in large numbers, even when you meet one-on-one, it's the same. You meet at a restaurant and the agenda is centered around food...
I wouldn't go so far as to call myself anti-social (though I did come up with http://bikramsnehi.blogspot.com/2009/05/spiteful-spoof-on-admittedly-one-of-my.html )
but I do agree...the larger the group, the more difficult is it to get people to be themselves. Everyone seems to want to be more mature et al...or maybe I'm immature...ah well...
No sweetie, the larger the group, the LESS PERSONAL can one be, and hence the un-being-themselves thingamajig. Or do people really try to act more mature when in large groups?
