Friends- The Forever Bond

First sunday of August!!! I so vividly remember my schools days, waiting for that sunday! Can you guess why??? Yes, you guessed it right, Friendship Day!! A month before 'the big day' making of friendship bands and cards used to begin. It was like a big festival we were getting ready for. And rightly so, it is for sure! Friends- that one bond we have that needs no filter at all. Some are with us from childhood, like school friends, some meet us a little later in life, maybe college or work, but at whichever stage we meet them, they are SPECIAL!!! From sharing secrets to tears to smiles they are with us through it all. When in school, making fun of each other or peers and the most fun is making fun of teachers, maybe sometimes having a common crush on a teacher or a girl and fighting over it are the most precious moments. Sharing that little and absolutely cold maggi between so many just would satisfy all hunger pangs! Sharing just one samosa from the canteen or just one sip from one frooti tetra pack would be the most satisfying experience. Trying to copy during exams and also hiding the answers so you can top and not your friend are priceless moments. Those football matches in the rain, rooting and hooting for each other during Sports day are moments which one would want to go back in time to relieve. Fighting with your best friend but not letting anyone else say a word against your friend is what this bond defines. Someone so rightly said 'When the whole world walks out, your friend walks in'. Guys don't ever give up on this bond, if in this journey called Life, your friends have somehow been left behind, take those steps back and reconnect. Bring back that same spark again, rekindle that friendship and watch yourself smile a little more and live a little more. And for those who have their friends with them, go and give them...like what Munnabhai says...Jaadu ki jhappi and make them feel special once again....coz Its Only A Friend Who Knows The Unedited Version Of You!!!!
