F.R.I.E.N.D.S

My first Impression about him …. well nothing special. A simple guy who was pursuing his Biotechnology from the same class as mine. Yeah thats all I knew about him. During our graduation days the entire class used to be together. But then we had several permutations and combinations and around ten of us always landed up together. Even 2 years after completion of college we always spent time together. Since we both were a part of the same friends circle we started interacting with each other.

Both of us believed in talking only when needed and neither of us had enough reason to interact with each other frequently. Eventually one day the 10 of us decided to go an overnight trip. On our way back we both landed up on the same bike and started talking to each other. What started as a casual conversation went on for almost two and a half hour. Somehow I felt really comfortable with him. As our conversations grew I realized we had started discussing openly about our personal and professional life. I could speak about things which had hurt me and which had bothered me to a great extent. He kept listening and giving his comments wherever needed. He even helped me resolve some of the unresolved problems with ease and I was awestruck by the kind of maturity he had. I had never seen a guy so mature and understanding as him and neither have I ever known a guy with such transparent thoughts and amazing clarity about everything in his life. It seemed as if our topics would never end but our journey did and we reached Pune. I was so not tired at the end of the journey, and I was glad I could interact with him.

That night when I was recollecting everything we spoke I felt my heart had become much lighter and happier. I had made a friend even before i realised.

My Mother says I am gods chosen one. I realised how lucky I am to be blessed with such friends in my life. They care for me, pamper me, spoil me, tease me till I get irritated and shout at me when needed. We have huge fights yet I know that they will rejoice when I am happy and will lend their shoulders when I feel like crying.

This post is in dedication to all my adorable friends without whom I cannot imagine a blissful life.
