FRIENDSHIP

What can I say new about friendship ? When I look back I recall all those people who came into my life and then walked out , some with notice and some without notice But the ones who decided to stay back and continue the journey with me is what is friendship to me .

I have always wondered what it would feel to have many friends and be the most popular girl and have thousands of friends on Facebook, one fine day I was and The feeling was fabulous without doubt but then there was always this emptiness and a question .

Do I know all these people ? Do they know the real me ? The answer was always a very simple and known one but we don’t accept it rather we portray a life we want others to see .

From this thousands of faces when we are low or upset we start searching for a familiar face who understands us , then the friends list on Facebook just becomes mere numbers .

When new people enter into our life we tend to let the old ones slip away without knowing and one fine day when we step back and look , we realise that those peoples with whom we started our journey with aren’t there anymore rather they are on a new journey .

Why ? What went wrong ?

Life is like a train , many passengers get added to our life and they get down or exit when their destination approach , some say goodbye and exit , some just let go or you let go , but what we forget is that we can stop the train or rather the people from leaving by just pulling the chain , it’s just a matter of effort .

Some come into our life and influence us for a short period , and they leave but with grace .

We learn to appreciate their presence but we know that they would never be permanent but yet we learn to cherish each moment in our memories with grace .

Just like William Shakespeare’s quote suggests “ All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players” in this context I can refer to this as a drama where each one play a part in your life , they add something to your life , they make your life more authentic with their presence and once their role is played out they leave, this is one kind of friendship where they station themselves for sometime , once they know you are fine they let go because they know you can handle yourself from now on .

Some Friendships are those which sticks through years and grow like a beehive, closely connected through years of effort .

friends are the ones who dance and laugh when you Achieve something even if it is just picking food from in between your teeth just like in “FRIENDS”phoebe gets really excited when joey finally picks food out of his mouth which he had been trying for long .

Friends become your supposed system at some point of time in life , from my personal experience I could say that during my board Practicals! one of my best friend had helped me with my calculations , she wasn’t worried about hers but was bothered whether I got it right .

Friends are those who just call in the night and ask you one simple question “ Are you okay?”

Who travel states to be with you or just your next door neighbour who even after a busy day decides to take a walk just because you are feeling low.

Friends are ones who stick by you and support your decisions when sometimes we ourselves don’t have faith .

when I decided to take a new Path in life , there was this one particular friend without whose support I wouldn’t have realised my value and talent , but sometimes they are a part of your life so cherish who stay and let go those who decide to take on a new journey.

Try holding your friends as tightly as possible, once they are gone , they would just become a distant memory.
