Friends

Any personal blog is not complete without the mention of friends, and some events which are taking place around me at this time, have made me write the opening post about my friends. A google search for "friends" piles up a lot of formal meanings of this word (apart from the results for the sitcom) which , in my opinion is not the way to describe, a relationship as informal as friendship. I will not try my hand redefining what friends and friendship is, as people have their own definitions and my understanding and my perspective may not be right for everyone.

Though not many but I've had some good friends in my life who have helped shape my thoughts and my views, and to a certain extent have helped shape my life too. Pradeep, Yogesh, Varun, Amit, Shelly, Manish these are the people who came in my life one by one and have left a huge impact. I call them my best friends. Each one of them is special and different from one another and I would have loved to write about them in elaborate detail, but I know it would make others skip this portion, so avoiding it.

Sometimes it makes me wonder, how vast the meaning of friendship can be. A relationship with one friend can be so much different from a relationship with another friend while still being in the spectrum of friendship. Friendship sometimes also tends to be of varying degree, you maybe on the terms of great friendship with a guy and a girl, but in both these relationships there are different terms and limitations (This plainly is my point of view). I share a different kind of bond with each of my friend and cherish their company.

I haven’t had a great number of friends, those I have, have a special place in my heart. Time and circumstances will always force us apart, but the memories we share will be there forever.

Cheers!
