Har ek friend zaroori hota hai!!!

Some where we have these special people with us who brighten our day by just being there. They are more than family at times and just someone who you know you can call at 3:00 am. All sorts of people will walk in and out of your life but those who make an effort to stay are the ones you should cherish.

I have been blessed with many such people, bad judgment on my part sometimes blinded me in recognizing the frienemies but I have some who are always around. You stay mad at them, you fight, you share all your dirty secrets, clothes, yourself. These people just make your life worthwhile especially at times when you are alone, they make you feel needed, cherished and loved.

Time may not permit us to be together always but I know that when I am in need , I just call and there they are. It’s amazing how after watching friends for ages we all have a glorified image of how friendship should be, how we have to be together and be in constant touch. But through the years I have realized, it is not like that.

You have true friends when at you are in trouble at 3 am and you need to cry your heart out after a bad breakup. How they tell you your worth. How they come over when you need them the most. How when you are depressed and about to do something stupid all you get is a whack on the head. When you are the first to know that you will be an aunt soon or that you are going to be the maid of honor. It’s really these things which matter. How you are told about forgiveness, how they curse the man who broke your heart, how they pay your bills when you are out of a job or how they are at your side when you need them.

Some just lost causes, some who disappear and some who want to see you hurt. These are the people that I now want to stay away from. Earlier I always thought on how having a great big gang has its charm now it’s the smaller the better. I always felt sad on how I never had a best friend that one person to do this and then I realized that I got many more to share a different moment with each.

There are so many people that I have around me who I am proud to call my best mates, I may not be able to spend time with them but they are always in my memories. I just wish that someday I am able to repay them what they have given me, a life, a laugh and many wonderful memories to live my life by.

I love you guys and am so happy to be a part of your life and to have you in mine!!

Sky and me!

Isn’t sky the most dynamic thing you have ever seen. How it changes it’s hues and colours. Different shapes appear making you seem like the most creative person. How it changes it’s persona, it’s skin so to speak turning into whatever you wish it to be.

As I stand watching the sky tonight, all I feel is how it accepts change. Some day’s it’s blue- crystal clear like water and someday it’s darker than the darkest of sea’s. How it’s sometimes orange, sometimes pink. Sometimes it’s purple and sometimes it’s green.

When you feel happy it looks bright and sunny, when you are sad it’s like it shares your pain. Sighing and moaning, opening its heart to you letting you share your pain and then comes relief. Like those tiny little bubbles of grief, you shed your tears and the great skies open’s its heart and shares the rain!

How when you are angry, it suddenly seems so red combined with the orange and yellow hues of fire. A fire that burns inside your heart. How it burns, changes shapes and forms like your anger – how it grows and slows. How it subsides and changes to the murky black just when the gloom sets in and then something amazing happens- the dark turns into night and there you see the small gems glittering in the sky just like that tiny hope that begins to float inside your mind.

How when you are depressed, the skies turn blue. They share your sadness and then they show you the truth. How the new day comes, how you need to change, how you need to accept and mold yourself in the same way.

How it has that spark inside it, burns anyone when it’s angry. Striking anyone who come’s in it’s way. There is so much wonder in one thing just as we keep ourselves restrained. Let us roar, let us show who we are. Lets not be constrained and let’s not be hidden. So far in this journey, I have faced a lot, stood up to a lot, let me just see how it feels to let go. The skies are with me, towering above me like an inspiration…let me roar along side them!

Ultimately it tell’s you that we are no different you and I – the only difference is your are down on the ground and it lies above towering above us – being by our side!!
