"Friends are God's ways of apologizing for our families."
- Anonymous.
Obviously friends are important through all stages of life. We make friends left, right and center but only some stand out of the crowd. And the criteria for them being 'a friend' ranges from having similar interests, tolerance to all your tantrums, standing with you through thick and thin and as a quote by Oscar Wilde says "A true friend stabs you in the front". But sometimes even the most favorable friendships do not stand the test of time, while some do. Its difficult to maintain friendships for many reasons - a fight, distance, change of life tracks or simply by falling out of touch.
And we make frenz on every instance of our life. Some have been friends since their diaper days. Some make friends in school, college and at work places. As we grow up as persons, our personality changes and we might happen to be in different places in our lives. So that can be a reasonable excuse to give up a friendship that might be so close to your heart. Either they move on or you do. And there are those who stick to you like a glue, who'll never leave your side no matter what. Be it during times of trouble, insanity, rage and holds on through thick and thin, or during times of joyful and happy times. It is so much easier to forget all the good things your friends do and to remember the times you had a fight or a misunderstanding.
This Sunday was Friendship's Day. And though I don't recommend that we need one particular day to suddenly realise the value of friends, the thought is surely nice. And since this is my blog where I write on anything and everything, I think its only fair that I dedicate one post for my precious friends. Some of whom I've known from my school, junior college, grads, post grads and work. These are the guys, with whom I've managed to be in touch with or rather some who have been in touch with me (lot of touchiness!! ). So, here is a dedication for all you guys.
Sons - Thanks for teaching me to have fun in life and for all the sacrifices you have done
on my behalf. And im sorry for being a jerk, yaar!
Prats - Thanks for getting in touch with me again. You showed me that its more important to
be content in whatever life throws at us. But I still think you are capable of much more
than you think.
Kets - For not changing anything between us. And dear, no matter how much you think you have become the calm, elegant, graceful ladylike, for me u'll still be the same old tom-boy, care-too-hoots, hyperactive girl who always stood or knelt out of class punished along side me.
Josh - For being so bindass and also got us all in trouble at times. Full of life. Its a rare sight to see you down. Basically, showing me how to laugh at our silliness and mistakes.
Reks - For being my punching bag and at times my competition. For keeping me soooo grounded and for not letting time or distance affect our friendship. I'll miss you a lot (sniff!!)
Febs - For showing me that actions speaks louder than words and for always calling and the
all credits to you for our retaining friendship. Im so glad you did, thank you!
Vars - For not being judgemental of my actions. For telling me that nothing is impossible and for proving it by being an example yourself. I applaud you and wish you all the best in you ambitions. Keep aiming high, dear!
Ans - You've saw me through my tears during my exams. Consoled me when I got my first backlog and racked your brains teaching me and tolerated all my nonsense and my temper. Also for breaking my bubble when i wud get too ahead of myself. Im eagerly waiting for the D-day.
Ruks - For being my 'combined STUDY partner' and for getting all those delicious tiffins, which I finished mostly(and the dvds!!)
Sorabs - For being my accomplice, for giving fire to all my useless ideas and supporting me in whatever decision I took. Thanks pal!
Prads - For making me feel so comfortable during my first day of work. A little lazy but
always lends a helping hand.
Krats - For showing me that age need not be a hinderance for becoming frenz. But still, I'm elder to you so I do have the rite to boss over you, ok?
Kavs - For always saying 'Ok, good idea! Lets do it'. And getting excited to try out
new things. I do hope you'll soon build up your own confidence, though! All the best with your new job.
These are people with whom i didnt feel the need to show any kind of formalities, some of whom I could call at any time of the day and talk normally even if we hadn't met for months. I cherish our friendship and dont know what i would have done at my most desperate moments if you guys didn't help me out. A million thanks...for keeping me in your lives..
