High on Riverdale high.. still got the hangover..

It's been so long since I visited Riverdale. . I used to often roam about in the lanes of Riverdale and run along the corridors of Riverdale high when I was in my teens.. I still remember hanging out with the gang be it watching Juggy gobbling up burgers after burgers or Archie running after Ronnie or Bets. . You won't believe it I actually had a teeny weeny crush on guess who. . Eeks.. Reggie. . That was a nice trip down memory lane. But you must be wondering what triggered this emotion all of a sudden. It's just that yesterday while flipping channels on the idiot box  I chanced upon the televised version of Archie comics ' Riverdale'..  so much has changed while I was busy trying to come to terms with the transition from my teens to my tweens to my threens.. Riverdale has changed. . The gang seems to have matured. . Betty seems to have found her soul mate in Jughead.. Archie has got his pitching right with one of the pussy cats.. Veronica is not the rich brat she once was.. she is trying to knot up her family ties that seem to be getting loose around the edges.. it made me realise how time flies. . Everything changes even comics. . The gang seems to have aged along with me.. but still when I look at those frayed pages of the old Archie comics I get that nice tingling feeling in my tummy as if have become a teenager again.. These moments can make the time stand still.. ��
