....talk to friends.
There are times when you just get bored of people. Tired of saying nice things and taking care not to hurt their feelings even when they do yours. You begin to doubt if there is a need to interact with people at all if most of the time you cannot say what you want to.
It’s during these times that you value friends. People you can call up at any time of the day and talk about anything; without being judged, without being misunderstood. It’s amazing how well they understand you and say things you want to hear. Self introspection would’ve given then same results, but the fact that there is someone who thinks the same way that you do is a great feeling.
How did we end up so similar? The same values, principles, shortcomings and strengths. We grew up together, talking about everyday incidents and laughing. Marathon sessions on the phone and walking to school and college together didn’t go waste after all. We became friends for life. We influenced each other and ended up being like one another. That’s the great thing about friendships. Tastes may differ, but core values remain the same. And that’s what keeps this wonderful relationship going.
Long live friendship! And a big hug to all my dear friends, starting with Sethu!
Feeling better already :)

That is so true. Nothing like a friend to make you feel better :-)
" Feeling better already :)" - good for you. You deserve it! Amazingly, for someone as displaced as me ( a Bangalorean in Chennai ) blogging is near filling in the gap with new found friends in bloggers. But as is oft said, to have a friend, you MUST be one first! :)
Yeah true friends can listen to u with untainted compassion and unabated attention... Sometimes, even when no words are spoken, he understands what it is it that u are going through... And true friends are there not because you want them to be, but because they care.
a nice tribute to a friend. Liked it !!!
The truth and depth of real friendship is tested only during bad days. 4 the one who understands u, u dont need to say tht u r going thru bad days. They simply know it. These r some hard facts. There is nobody like a true friend on this lovely place called earth to live with! He/she just can be there whenevr n whereevr u want him/her to be. Thts the most convincing fact about friendship.
Sangeetha: Absolutely!
Ravi: Blogging hasn't just brought along new friends, it has helped keep in touch with old ones too.
Somu: Thanks. :)
"And true friends are there not because you want them to be, but because they care." - How many times I've experienced that! Brinda, Rekha I thought of you guys when I read that....just how many times you've dropped by when I was feeling low..will never forget those times!
Shreyas: Very well said; couldn't possibly add anything more to it. :)
Incidentally my posting today was on friendship too... Met up with my best pal after about 8 mths and we went reminiscing for sometime... hmmm !!!!
