I don't know exactly what prompted me to write this note on friendship, but i guess it needs no particular day or occasion to celebrate friendship..Sharukh Khan,in a memorable dialogue from a memorable movie, once said to Kajol "love is friendship". Yes, I believe that with my heart and soul.I mean if I say that someone is my friend, I must invariably love that person. and it is the same the other way round..I cant love someone completely and surrender myself to that person unless I am sure that person understands me completely and is my very best friend.
Friendship is one of the most beautiful of all relationships and that needs no mention. Not only do I cherish and nurture this relationship,I do all I can to preserve it as well.For it is hard to find a real friend, but it is harder to hold on to them. Life has given me plenty, but at the same time it has taught me lessons with such cruelty that I will never forget or perhaps recover from.
There have been people who have come into my life like a puff of fresh air,painted a rainbow in my slow motion black and white movie and put their feet down real hard so as to leave a deep permanent mark And then, they left just as suddenly as they had appeared, leaving behind memories and a plethora of unanswered questions, leaving me wondering what went wrong. And it happens to all of us at some point of time or another..You spend days and nights crying with the feeling of humiliation filled with guilt and grief that you had let them see the vulnerable side of you, trusting them which you ought not have done. But really, how could you have known that they are only pretenders of sympathy and compassion?
Yet again, there are friends who you know are there, will always be there, despite the fact that you haven't spoken in years..business of life has led you to two different paths and caused you to drift apart.They don't mind if you don't call, they don't mind if you even forget their birthdays, they are still there, like a rock wall for you to lean on..They are just happy..simply because you exist.. and because they know wherever you are, you will always be there with them whenever they are in need or even not..because they know that they have a permanent place in your heart..because you love them..And yes they have never even considered leaving you even though they have seen your most wretched face..often red with anger or disappointment.at other times with tears of hopelessness streaming down.
Every person hardly finds one such person in life..but God has blessed me with quite a few..And to these friends, I bow.
