Friends - the best choice we ever make

Happy friendship day to all of you! And now that mauka bhi hai, mausam bhi, let me scribble a few things I like about having friends:

  1. Unlike other relations, you love to do things for your friends because "you just love to" and not because "you must do".
  2. You know they'll hear you out not because they "have to" but because they genuinely "want to".
  3. It's not that they'll give you more / less bhaav because you have more / less money. When they call you an idiot, they don't mean it. When they call you a genius, they really mean it.
  4. Just when you are about to be irreversibly lost in your dreams, they bring you back to reality and you realise this is where you should be.
  5. Just when the reality gets harsh, they sway you in the world of hope and dreams. You return back to reality with all the strength and confidence.
  6. There's no obligation whatsoever.
  7. Arguments are minimalistic. And so are fights, if any. The best part is they never give your heart any scars for life.
  8. If they don't call / mail you for days, you call them with a few swear words and time flies as you catch up for the lost time. If there's no contact for a few months, you do the same. If you're not in touch for a year or so, ditto. In case of other relations, you simply forget such relatives.
  9. Friends are the best choice you ever made in life.

  1. Nice post. As Len Wein said, a friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

    Happy Friendship Day to you Anuradha.
