Aluva Nostalgia: Blissful Moments

Stepping back into Federal Gardens in Aluva felt like walking through the corridors of a forgotten chapter, where the quiet lanes and familiar outlines of the buildings instantly stripped away the intervening years. It was surreal running into Jacob right there—in the very place that once framed our everyday lives. Catching up with him amidst the lingering echoes of our old neighborhood brought back a sudden, vivid rush of shared routines, evening strolls, and the effortless camaraderie that distance had quietly paused but never truly erased. ​The day came full circle when I met up with Romel and Nabin, transporting us straight back to our school days at Vidyadhiraja. Sitting down together over a hearty spread at Surya Restaurant, the years dissolved entirely over steaming plates and familiar flavors that tasted just like old times. Amid bursts of laughter, inside jokes from the classroom, and endless rounds of "remember when," the afternoon captured the rare, grounding warmth of a reunion where nothing essential had changed at all.
