Special Friends !!


Things work the way they want to each time. Like the Murphy's Law goes, "When something has to go wrong, it will" , there are few things in life that happens inevitably. How much ever you try to stop it or prevent it, it will happen. No matter what! Sometimes when u read things over the Internet or something in a book, it strikes you to be so true, that you never forget it.

Likewise, there are certain incidents and certain people in life, you can never forget. Come to think of it, your friends form an important part of your life. There are things in life, you would never talk to anyone about, that you would gladly share with your closest friend. They make you laugh, they make you cry and they make you feel like the most loved person in the world. And when things happen to them, though you know you are helpless to help them, it still breaks you and makes you feel guilty for not being able to do anything. It gives you the courage to face anything for this one person and want to protect them with everything you have.

I have had relationships like that, that still stays afresh in my memories. I guess everyone does. There are relationships that you would have always thought would stay alive, till the end of a lifetime, but disappear within a blink of an eye. Friends like these, who would stay in your heart forever, are rare and hard to find. You wish you could hold on to them, but along comes a reason, of why you just cant. There are many people who would mistake such relationships as love, a simple crush, or maybe something more. But it never works that way. A friend will always remain a friend and no matter, how much ever you love a person, the love that you hold for this friend will always be special, be different. You will yearn to spend time with this person, not because you love him/her, or because you want or expect something out of him/her. But only because, you love spending time with him/her and you look to spend time with him/her whenever you can. Because every time you are with him/her, there is this unexplainable feeling of content and happiness you derive from spending time with this person. Even if it were just about half an hour, you would rather spend it with him/her than any other normal friend.

This post is an ode to such relationships and I wish and pray that you could keep these relationships alive for ever and stay happy forever, with this single thought on your mind, that you found your special friend and could keep and cherish him for the a lifetime.

Tchau !

Don't try!

Something I read that has come to mean a lot to me when I look back and connect the dots now.  Trying. It has been my life’s lesson....
