Friendship
Friendship,a word with a world in it.the word itself is strong enough to evoke a strong emotional response.To some it spells fun,to others support,love,care,respect,sharing,happiness,and to a few like me,its a way of life.
Today Simran asked me what is friendship.How do I define it,What it means to me,Is it worth the hype it carries,Can a girl and a guy ever become great friends,without attraction getting into their friendship.Faced by such a flurry of questions,I was forced into thinking[which sadly is a very rare phenomenon].What exactly is friendship?
Well first of all the concept of friendship is very personal,It may vary from person to person,everybody has their own ideas of friendship.What I am presenting is my view,of what I think friendship means to me.
To me,friendship is magic.Its about two people understanding each other so well,that they understand the others words without the need of the other to utter a single word.Its about sharing everything.Happiness,friends derive happiness from each other,and double each others joy in the process,Sorrow,sharing your vows and unhappiness halves yours,'cause a friend's comforting presence and warmth is enough to heal the deepest of wounds,Food,if you don't share the food mom sends to you,what good a friend are you,I mean if you can leave a poor soul to feed on the gross mess food,then may god bless you,you don't deserve the poor soul's friendship.
I see life as black and white.Black are the times when I am down ,helpless,I loose hope,get frusrated of my life,start questioning the reason of my existance.These are the times I need my friends the most,and they are always their for me.They not only cheer me up,they make me laugh,make me jump with joy and even make me pay the canteen bill[those crazy freaks].White at the times when these crazy freaks are down and I get the treat.
Friendship can never be overhyped,'cause this it is what this world stands on,'cause no number of words said or writtes can ever describe friendship's true value,as it is priceless.It can never be bought.It can only be bartered,you give something,you get something,Friends never carry a for sale tag except if you are Bill Gates,sir I am very much on sale.
Why can't a girl and a guy become great friends without the romantic angle,I do agree that the occurence of such instances is less,even I prefer guy friends,for basic reasons,that we always have somehing to talk about,"GIRLS".Discussing a girl with a girl can never be the same,but I think a great girl+ friend isn't a problem.I mean if she is funny interesting smart and you enjoy her company,then she is as good as any other friend I have.The only problem is the contrasting behaviours the two sexes have.I would hate to have a friend who keeps telling me that I don't look god if I don't have a shave for 3 days,or somebody who tells that I should have a bath after just two days of dry spell,otherwise a girl as a friend will be great.
About looks,well the first impression is always how people look.But I think for a friendship to prosper,good looks really don't matter.Why should I expect my friend to be "presentable",whom am I trying to show,my other friends,my parents,society,or is it just my overinflated ego.If one of my buddoes doesn't look like Tom Cruise or Aishwarya rai,I don't really give a damn,'cause NEither am I Brad Pitt,that they could boast of.Looks really don't matter,they are just superficial,and the very starting of friendship is from inside,your heart.
To summarize it all,I'd say that friendship is all about being yourself and letting others being themselves,and yes this ones for MTNL,Thinking too much will never result into anything,'cause till those friends are there for you,there will always be raindrops falling on your head.
