Friendship is a vast emotion and I believe everyone has their take on it…so what is that I would want to say about this emotion which no one would have not written anywhere…I don’t think I have anything of that kind which could get a mention on my blog….but yes one things on which I can definitely write which I can be more than a 100% sure that would not have been mentioned anywhere….is MY FRIENDSHIP with MY FRIENDS….yes that what I would to write on this blog of mine!!!!
So the first time I was exposed to friendship was @ my school…i.e St.Josephs High School….and my first friend whom I remember I made friendship was during my class 5 and class 6 days….the idea of friendship in those early school days was to exchange birthday gifts…come for birthday parties….and do some chit-chat which would have no relevance in real life…but then still it was my first friendship I warmly would love to remember her for the rest of my life….and thanks to facebook and orkut that I managed to re-establish my long lost FIRST FRIEND J
Then came another friend in my life whom I would love to forget…reason…because from her I got to know that friendship is all about carrying your friend’s burden…mind you the burden was very physical…so this friendship lasted hardly for a couple of years only to make me hate friends and friendship….but at this point of time there were even other friends who came and made if not a long lasting impression at least for some reasons I could say to family members that I too had friends at school.
Thanks to the lessons in my school we always were told to believe that you ought to have a best friend in your life. May be somewhere deep down in my heart also I too wanted to believe that yes a BEST FRIEND would be there for me too…and EUREKA….I actually got one…whom I very proudly introduced as my BEST FRIEND till 2007 only to later realize that there is no such term as BEST FRIEND you either have GOOD FRIENDS or BAD FRIENDS
But till 2007 we shared some good memories for which I think I need to thank god….but then the time when I got to know the true essence of friendship was sometime during 1996-1998…till this time I only knew one thing you don’t have more than one BEST FRIEND in your life….and LOVE can never ever come into the vicinity of FRIENDSHIP…don’t get lot of things in your head here readers what I intend to say to you all is that I thought you can never say your friend even a short phrase like “Yaar, I Love you...tu sahi mein mujhe jaanti hai” or may be ”Abbey tu sahi mein meri jaan hai…love you yaar!!!’
Thanks to the friends who came into my life at this time point and who made me aware that we could say I LOVE YOU to friends and still not be embarrassed about being tagged as someone who just says these 3 magical words and not mean any of them (like how guys usually do…no offense to any one in particular)…or to even not mean them in some other sense…or to be speaking on point blank target not to be type casted as some LESBIAN couple!!!
This is the time when I could proudly say I learnt what WONDERS true and good FRIENDHSIP could do to someone’s life…but not everything coming from GOD comes in all rosy path…it does come with its share of thorns too…with FRIENDSHIP…I was even knowing what other emotions could be attached like JEALOUSY( when your friend does not give you time but gives someone else time) POSSESSIVENESS( when you want your friend to only sit down with you and talk) etc etc…lot of such emotions also was a part of my life.
As you tend to get older in your life that’s when the maturity to handle such complex situations also comes naturally…but trust me readers I never was good…infact after having spent so many years I still feel I am bad on handling the emotions that come hand in hand with FRIENDSHIP….but every day I learn and I am proud that I am still learning….and I thank all my friends…mind you the GOOD and BAD ones to have actually made me write I first blog…I dedicate it to all my friends and pray to the almighty that they get PROSPERITY in everything they do…they have inspired me they have even cared for me…they have even hated me…but most important of all…they have given a NEW HORIZON to my life…I owe a lot to them after …MY MOM and DAD obviously.
I just hope I have not hurt anyone’s sentiments and my friends understand my emotions for them and I conclude saying to each and every one of them a genuine and heartfelt I LOVE YOU my F.R.I.E.N.D.S!!!
