"Meeting a long-lost friend is similar, I suppose, to eating a favourite dish after a long time. You don't know how your tastebuds will react after all this while, whether the dish will still taste as good as it used to. I met Salim after five long years with mixed emotions. Would our reunion be as warm as our friendship used to be? Would we still be as honest with each other?" (188)
