Hi Dear Friends,
I know its been a very long time since I have written a post. Not that I didn't have any funny feelings but got so busy doing the daily routine and mommy activities that did not think this was important anymore.
Until today when I just happened to read the blogs again and I felt so good. And I couldn't help imagining that its been 2 yeas since I have written my last blog and reading it was so much fun. Imagine how would I feel after 20 years. Hence this post is to the feeling of realisation and the person who made me realise it.
This blog-post is all about friendship. Its one of those relationship which gets overlooked sometimes, because we feel that other relationships are far more important that this.
I too felt the same. I always thought that friends are there to pass time, in school, in college at work. To hangout, party, go shopping etc. I had many friends at school, college, locality but eventually moved on and lost all contact with them. Never kept up-to-date with their lives, and just continued with my own. And now thanks to Facebook that we are friends again but the spark is gone. The spark to tell them any good news, spark to crib about a situation, spark to be partners in crime all the time.
But luckily one of those lost friendship has reignited again, and I cannot tell you how happy I feel about it. Its like all this time I was seeing myself getting older and then this friend appeared and I am young again. I am chatting, cribbing, fighting, scolding again just like the good old days.
We were at the same company for a brief period of time but in that brief time was long enough to be friends for life time. We used to spend time with each other, work together, study together, mostly eat together and most importantly have Chai together. and Chai as you know brings out your emotions better than liquor :P
Then life moved on, he had to travel overseas for onward studies and I decided to settle once and for all. I guess we both got so busy with our new lives that we forgot to miss each other. For me it was a change of country too, he also eventually got married and got settled. And we both lost contact with each other completely.
I did used to remember him sometimes but refrained to send him a catch-up email thinking its been too long an what will he think.
Then there was the dip, I don't know whether it was the post baby depression, stressful job, family duties or absence of good friends. I started missing him more and more. Whenever I used to think of sharing something which I couldn’t share with my partner, my parents, my siblings, I missed him even more. And I was sure that he must be going through the same.
But I always had this gut feeling that one day we will connect again. I didn't know when, how but I always told to myself that it was a special friendship and it would definitely come back.
One such usual day, I put my young one to bed and realised a message pop up and to my biggest surprise, it was that friend. He messaged me back and told me how much he missed me and I had nothing else to say than me too, me too 😊
He going through a bad patch and just wanted to let it out. We both caught up with each other’s lives and felt so stupid not connecting so many years. And even though we were talking after 5 years precisely, we could talk like we just spoke yesterday. Nothing was changed and that’s the best part of friendship that true friends never change.
We talk regularly now morally support each other and have each other’s back.
That’s what I want to convey that friendship is the relationship that you are not born with, you choose to be in it and make it. Don’t just let it go. Treasure your friends and your friendships. Pick up that phone and call your friend ask him if he’s okay tell him about yourself. Don’t wait for the dip to happen or a bad patch to start before you contact them because then it becomes all the more difficult.
I personally feel so happy these days, my irritation levels, frustration levels have gone down and I feel all the more happier.
So this is it friends, I had lost and found a friend but I hope you guys don’t lose yours and if you did, better find them again.
With this funny feeling good bye
Cheerios!!!
