A Friendship undone!

A Friendship undone!

“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” 
― Helen Keller

Don't we just love watching episodes of FRIENDS again and again. This genre has helped the entertainment industry earn millions of bucks in the last decades. From "FRIENDS" to "How I Met Your Mother" to  "Big Bang Theory" to even "2 Broke Girls", people have enjoyed it all. 

These sitcoms have beautifully captured that one relationship which helps us grow into the person we are today. It is that same relation which helps us recover from fall outs of life and also it is the very same one on which we are not dependent, well mostly.

Think about it. If a love relationship is broken then both of you lovers are devastated. For days you will not know how to take care of yourself as you were so consumed into that romantic feeling with someone else and now as that person no more holds ground in your life you feel ruined. But this definitely does not happen with friendship. Two friends grow up together in the same society and are best buddies but as they become adults they move away and fail to stay in touch or that group of friends who was your life seems at a distance after all of you have found partners in life. You do keep in touch for special occasions though like birthdays and anniversaries but even if this contact looses then it definitely does not qualify for those heartbreaking tears which you will have in other "so called important relations" in your life.

Why do we do that? Why don't we give the same amount of respect and importance to friendship today? Why are we so darn busy being busy?

On day do day life we hear people talking about how important their girlfriend or boyfriends (lover) are and how they are ditching that date with a friend to go meet a lover. It is easy and comforting to take this decision as the only job of a friend is to "UNDERSTAND".

People aren't you missing out on life by keeping your friends away? Think about it, there were days when you walked miles with them sharing those secrets you never dared to share with anyone. You nursed them when they had viral and they did the same to you when you were dumped. They were the only ones who told you at all times how talented you are even when you parents could not see that talent through a microscope. They were the ones who would pick up your phone at 3 AM and only after customary 2 shouts they would listen to your heartbreaking stories and will even give you sincere advice in deep sleep.

If you have these kind of friends in your life then you ought to keep that relationship safe. Please start giving them more importance than you already give. Imagine how life would have been without them. You would never have understood how beautiful or talented or amazing person you are if they would never have told you at first place. Imagine how those nights would have been if they were not at the other end of receiver after your life had a major misshaping.

Are there friends in your life who were there at all times and you got pissed with them over something tiny (mostly an expectation)? If yes then pick up that darn phone and call them right away. I am gonna do that now! 

This is one relation where you don't need much sugary words. All you need is a want to make it up to them and only a smiling voice. This is the only relationship which comes with no frills attached. Lets call our nice and boon companions now and feel happy about life.

NOW DON'T BE GRUMPY AND MAKE THAT CALL.
