Friends....

Saif Ali Khan once said in a movie “Zindagi ek kahani hai aur hum jitney logo se miltey hai unki kahaniyan humse jud jaati hai..” True in a sense, I have lived at many a places Delhi, Kundapur, Sullia, Bangalore, Pune.... And i must say my life has been so so colourful thanks to all my uber cool friends who have been there with me through all my good and bad times. And yes!! my story is totally intertwined with their's now...

Everyone says that you become the person as you are bought up by your parents. I wont say it aint true but the fact is that its not completely true. Parents and relatives surely play a major part in what you become as they are the ones who are around you but when they are there we always have that protective coating around us saving us from the so called evils and perils of the world. But, when you are out there in the real world, starting from your first step into your school life i.e. the first time when we actually leave that holding finger, and start looking around at some point of time or the other we realize that the world is not what it actually was visible to us earlier. It could happen at any time, be it while you are cheated at a shop, while in a fully packed bus or even just while crossing the road all alone and at times like these we look around again and try and search for that someone to whom we can hang out to for some support and we find a friend standing right behind us. He might just be smirking at you for the stupid thing you did or the ease with which you were duped, but that just leaves a mark in your mind to not to do it again.

I have been blessed to have such superb friends throughout my life, be it school, college, my neighbourhood or in the office. And i am proud that most of my friends are still around me. Though the bond of friendship has been tried and tested by the waves of time and distance and the new friends coming into life the ones who really mattered/deserved have all been around and i know one thing for sure that no matter where i am i would never be alone...

Friends!!! You have all been around me, supporting me, pushing me to break my own limits (irrespective of for what the limit was), criticizing me whenever i was wrong and helping me whenever i needed it. You all rock.... Love you all....

Hoping the bond to be eternal...
