Does frienship last lifetime ?From my personal experience my school friends grew distant from me when my college firends came in.The College friends took the centre stage for quite sometime but now once into the proffessional world they are also getting distant and in are coming the office friends.Is it a general trend or I am lacking the virtue of maintaning friendship?

I truly hope so, but i am not sure. 
True friends may be far apart because of distance, but they will always remember each other and cherish each other in their hearts. 
You should still maintain connection with them too, that's why there are social networking site.

Do you really feel that the social networking sites,chatting over net and occaisonal brings back the old spark you had when you were together.Because I dont think it does.Recently I met my college group after some 3-4 years and I felt young and college going again.There was something else that I did not share with them i.e I dont like chatting or talking to them over phone.So whats the balancing act I can not meet them every month.So I guess those yearly get togethers are the ones that keep your friendship clock ticking.

I don't think it's that you can't maintain friendships. I think it's just your friendships change and grow or sometimes fade. You make friends in whatever stage of life you are in. You make friends in highschool but then everyone goes off to college and there you make new college friends. Then you go off to work and you make work friends because you see them more then your college friends. Or some graduate high school and start their families so they make friends with others who have families rather than college friends. If you are lucky in life you make a friend who stays by you even if you are in different stages of life.

Ok I do agree with you that the friends change with the surroundings.But still if at one point of time we have been friends then there ought to be some common traits ,like and dislikes which has resulted in our affinity towards each other.If we do not change our daily habbits our attitude with the change of circumstances then how come do we change our friends.Is it fair?

People come and go. Change is inevitable and you are always growing as well as other people. You get to enjoy the moments when you can agree or relate something together, but after a while, you will grow into someone else and share new things with others.

It really is dependent on maintaining communication with your old friends so the relationship will continue to grow. It is difficult for me since I moved from one school to the other. After which, I stayed in the same call center for the past 7 years but moved from one program to another. Result: many many friends. All you have is exhaust all means of communication to be with them - FB, VOIP, cell phones, etc
