A friend from the past.

A school friend called me after 14 yrs. That's so distant, I am 29 now. And within 3 mts, he was talking about a real estate deal. :( He was competing with me for the first postion in the class. Then he strayed. He got into wrong kind of friendships. He preferred girls, while I was still innocent in that respect.
After school, I lost touch with him. I was informed by other friends that, his academic prformace deterioted continuously. Finally he took up a small job in public sector.
It's sad to see an equal going down. Perhaps, he didn't have enough intelligent circumstances/ people to guide him.
