The same old smile

It was a morning in the spring 2006. I was wading through the people coming out of a hospital. While crossing the stairs a familiar face flashed across my mind. An old friend? I called out 'Hi Jacob.. '. He stopped for a while and could not recognize me instantly. There is absolutely no change in him, the long hairs and pleasing smile. I could see the spool of memories unwinding in his eyes. I waited smiling. His lips moved to call me 'Zak'. His wife could not believe that he had a schoolmate so intimate that he recognized him at a glance after 32 years!!
