They come as a motley..sprinkled here
and there on your life journeys…spicing up your routine or simply omnipresent
through your existence – the umbrella word of warmth called friendship!
Friends who hold your lifeline
together - from the ones with whom you
shared your crayons, your ‘first crush’ stories, your ‘hostel bickering’, your ‘career
conflicts’ and now to your ‘matrimonial and motherhood itches’ and all that
comes in between.
We find them at intersections and
promenades of our lives – in that crowded school bus dripping with ice cream on
a scorching ‘academic’ afternoon..in the midst of a grueling dance practice..on
a nervous college admissions day..while burning ‘corporate midnight oils’ or
simply when you wait to pick your kid from school.
Friendship that germinates, roots
itself and then spreads its shade over your life – giving you fleeting moments
of freedom from the social jackets that we tailor for ourselves..the soothing voice
that counsels and veers you off the frustrations that life sometimes throws on
you..bringing the ‘fire’ and ‘fun’ elements into the drab that your days
sometimes turn into!
Friendship sometimes also fill
the fault lines created by blood lines and relationships that got
thrust in your life by birth. The perfect panacea for the heartaches and
headaches that you invite into your life ‘playing the family person’!
You cannot predict, measure,
compare or reason it out – some humans that you chose as the anchor to your life
storms ..some individuals you bonded and fused with and cannot still understand
why..some buddies who strip you bare of your colour, creed and ‘garbs’ and
touch the bundle of emotions that you can simply and effortlessly slip into..
