Friends Forever!!!!

Being lonely is a wonderful gift, enjoying the loneliness with our favorite food, book and watching our favorite channels is what I love. But after very long time nearly a year if I’m right I got a chance to be alone last weekend. All my roommates went to their hometown and I was left alone, lying in the bed last Sunday watching a Tamil film called ‘Raman Thediya Seethai’. I liked the story and the positive approach certain characters in the film have played.                                   

 Tuning through all the channels once the film was over, I went to bed. To my surprise, being a good sleeper, I was unable to sleep that day. Loads of things were running in my mind, and the main thing, which often passed by mind, was friends, friends and friends.

Friends are Rare Gifts. There use to be a saying, Tell about your friend, I will tell about you. That’s true in fact. Oldies in my village would explain this with stories infact. I used to have many friends during my college days. Would try to spend some time with each and everyone. And as such I even used to classify friends, guess most of us do? My best friends were those with whom I spend a lot of time, share my happiness and sorrows, who guide me when I am wrong, who help me, they learn from me and vice versa. I could name a lot of them. Usually people used to have 2 to 3 as their close friends, girls hardly one and few don’t have. But for me it has been increasing down the line. Right from my schooling I’ve had friends close to my heart, and I’ve been in contact with them for years. Of course I’ve missed a few, and the pain, in search of them, went in vain.    

 

Thinking seriously what would be my next post is was rolling in my bed, fighting with my pillow. I thought of writing about an old friend of mine (RAM). This thought came to me when one of my friend who was feeling bad that we were not able to party in our house as he had taken a vow for his god. He made me think like how much he was depressed on that day. So finally deciding to write about him, all through my post it took me back to my college days where we were close to each other and whom I missed after that for the past 5 years. We were nearly 20 guys all together in 2 different houses, in our college, we use to roam together, chat together, party together and what not. From several cities across the state we all were united on Dec 22^nd‘ 2000 and named our gang as Kool Guyz. The whole college was jealous of our friendship and we all rocked till we finished our engineering. I had a few close friends among those 20 with whom I use to share a lot. Ram was one among them and we both especially use to be together where ever we go. I liked him a lot; He was one such guy who was loved by most of them, yeah even girls to. We both don’t give up each other, even if were the one’s to be accused. Apart from sharing all, we indeed built a relationship that cannot be broken easily, but after our college days we hardly contacted. Hardly a few phone calls and b’day wishes, and the last time was on Dec 31^st ’07, New Years Eve. After that it was last week when I heard the happy news that he has been transferred from Bangalore to Chennai. All our friends started to tease and kid us that we both are united again and that we will start our mischief again.

I’ve got ‘n’ number friends as such who can be portrayed in detail, one while doing MBA, few in office, couple of them during schoolings and so on, having lots of friends is not at all a matter as most of them have today, but how good the relationship is matters. I too wonder when one of my friend used to say that he has not had a best friend in his life so far! How come, true? Starts our debate… There may be no meaning or a sink in this post but what all l wanted was to express my views about friends and friendship. I would also like to mention that no creature in this world could live without a friend.
