Oh! I’ve talked about friends and friendship in my last post. But here today too I’ll speak about friends, friendship and related matters! You aren’t’ allowed to wonder why?! Of course it’s 2nd august, the first Sunday of august, it’s “The Friendship Day”.
Talking of friendship day, obviously it’s everywhere, newspapers, television, radio, internet, everywhere, some people think it’s a waste of time and usually meant for good commercial business of gift shops and florists. And I say, “does it matter?!” If you say you can do anything for your friend, why would you mind spending some mere bucks, for some satin ribbons? But I have nothing personal against people who don’t celebrate it; it’s a democratic country after all!
The statement, ‘it’s everywhere, in papers’ reminds me of one thing I can’t stop myself from discussing about, it is about a small thing I read in this Thursday’s Hindustan Times supplement Café, in the celebrity column, Akshay Kumar stated that, friendship isn’t a reason for getting your things done or getting favours, it’s a reason for doing things for someone without expecting anything in return. I completely agree with the statement and totally love it!
He also mentioned friendship is unconditional love, and this fact too cannot be denied. Friends are not those with whom you always have a blast, friends are those with whom, even though you talk nothing, you feel like you’ve emptied your heart. It’s the connection when you are missing your friend and the person suddenly gives you a missed call or sends you a message saying he/she is missing you. A friend is indeed not a friend in need, friend is a friend indeed even when not in need.
A friend need not be perfect, rather can never be, because nobody is perfect, it just matters how you are perfect with each other. A friend may not be how you always wanted a friend to be, he/she might be completely opposite, but still you love them, and with love that is unconditional! It’s weird how you feel their happiness, their pain, and also their confusion. But this is how it is meant to be. They make many many mistakes, you feel like killing them, but when you see their silly innocent faces, you just decide to forgive them. After all not talking to them is more of a punishment to you rather than them.
Losing them and their trust is the biggest fear! But why think of things which can’t ever happen. Cherish memories that have gone by, live in the present and create more memories so that in future you can look back at this moment and cherish again.
I would love to end this post by thanking all my friends for making me feel that I am special for them. And I love you all! This reminds me of the song “Thank You” by Dido, which goes as follows,
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
