A friendship that stops the time

After several months of no writing I am back with a post in honor to a group of friends. A group that is still together beyond time and beyond distance.

We met 15 years ago. Mathematics brought us together. Its beauty and challenges took us to a world of sharing time, ideas and joy. A strong friendship came into existence.

During these 15 years, we have changed. Some of us got married, some had kids, some have moved to different countries, even continents. However, the internet kept us together. Lucky us!

Some of us got together last July 21st in Basel, Switzerland. Through internet we chatted with the rest of the group that was in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Austin, TX and Tucson, AZ, US. We talked and laughed for hours like the old times when our Saturday meetings were refreshing, invigorating, energizing and life was so simple. Then I realized that the clock stops ticking when we are together. That friendship means a lot more than what we believe it does to us, and to our lives.

Cheers for these 15 years and more to come! I love you guys!!!
