My Friends

Weekend has been good and relaxing for the fact that i have not ventured anywhere out of my house..now coming to my friends..i have been thinking a lot about this since a couple of months..probably an year or so..the best i felt was write about my feelings for each of them..at the end of it they may like me more or hate me but really that is not the purpose of this post.Its just what i feel for them and to show my kids how my friends were.
Let me talk about each one individually..

Friend 1 -
Before : One of my very best friends till date..our friendship dates back to nearly 15 years and good thing is there were never really rough moments between us anytime..grew up together.We were like 2 bodies one soul..always there for me..knew me inside out..only person whom i knew could pep me up when down.. our conversations would stretch from movies to cricket to people to country to music to all that makes sense and nonsense too..never left me alone..Couldn't stay without meeting each other for more than a day or 2

Now: Times changed found the girl of his life..too busy with life and no time for anything other than career and life which obviously doesn't include me..it takes a special occasion for us to meet..We think now what to speak to each other..Talking has stopped a long way back..
All the best in life..

Friend 2 -
Before : Second of my very less set of best friends..grew up together can say till school..after school though we were and we are friends the magic didn't strike well enough cos we couldn't spend quality time with each other..used to be part of the group only when he had spare time..always had a reason to change our decisions of going to a movie or hotel and always had a 'no' as an answer for our plans..Good friend..


Now : Busy with life and partner..a bit selfish and opportunist but thats how some people are...Talks about bringing back the magic of our friendship little does he know that i had moved on long time back and his attitude is the one that stops me to work on getting friendship back to where it was if not better cos i donno if it would really last.

So this part of my post has been grossly misunderstood..what i have meant in the above paragraphs is just some things that have happened in our lives that doesn't mean there was nothing good about our friendship..we have had some of the best moments of our lives together..
Always there when he knows i am sad about anything..best part about him is his memory..has a very good memory and keeps reminding the good moments we had together and keeps relating things..I would definitely ask him suggestions on places for food and parking..He has a sweet gf who is more sensible and mature than this idiot :-)..she is very good friend of mine and deserves equal respect to everyone else in the post and you don't find a different section for her cos i have never seen them as separate..
He along with friend 1 have been my strength and inspiration..
People if you felt i have nothing positive to talk about him come speak to me and i can talk about it for months..
We are friends for life..

Sister 1 :
Before : A junior at school got introduced to me in a purely coincidental circumstances..never really knew we would go on to be so close but we did..Used to share everything and anything and always looked up to me for strength and focus..didn't really matter is i had exams next day she had to talk to me for a couple of hours..she being my first sister..loved her a lot..there couldn't be a day passed without our conversation..during these years she grew from strength to strength and went on to become a very successful person in life..

Now : Busy with her focus towards her family and career..i am the last on her list of friends but let me tell you she has very little friends..now we speak as we are acquaintance and nothing more..we need a valid reason to talk to each other..calls wouldn't last for more than 2 minutes..

Friend 3 :
Before : She was my sister's best friend and we became the closest of friends..first girl with whom i felt comfortable talking to..she admired me and we couldn't stop telling each other whats happening at that moment..mobile service providers made huge profit cos of us :-D
She had feelings which i couldn't reciprocate and she moved on..

Now : Back into my life after a couple of years but friendship didn't change and she is happily married now.

Friend4:
Before : Got together during our PU days but really got close from 4th semester and we grew together from then on and still growing together..total opposite personalities but still we compliment each other very well..no hint of tact or secrecy in him..always there for company be it goiing to return a rented cd or filling up petrol or buying clothes..never do we talk about each other but we always lend support to each other..value each others company a lot..we have got so used to each other that we can't stay away (touch wood)..Feels good to have a buddy who is simple non nonsense and no strings attached kind

Now :no change yet :-)

Sister 2 :
Before : Got to know her in 5th semester and somehow chords stroked immediately and we got close so close in no time..People wondered if we knew each others over years..Nice person..always had things to tell you..always bored to study..dream t a lot..filled the void of a sister in my life..loved her a lot..at times she was my kid sister and sometimes my elder one..:-)

Now : Times changed..fell in love forgot to tell me..got married and living happily..

Friend 5 :
Before : A sweet girl got introduced to me during a fest at college and we have been very close since then..nice girl..looks up to me for advice..respects me a lot..always there for me and expects the same from me..staying in hostel she feels my home is her local guardian and my parents love her as well..they find a daughter in her..

Now : No change yet :-)

Sister 3 :

Before : My friend's sister but a very very close sister to me as well..She likes me and respects me equal to her brothers and i love the fact as i always love having sisters..Simple girl..if there are no exams she will come out with us and i like teasing her..

Now : No change yet :-)

Wrote my feelings in this post..just like Abraham Lincoln told one of his subordinates to express his anger on paper i did the same about my feelings..

These people have had a huge influence in my life..There have been numerous other friends but these fall into the special bracket..
None the less one thing is friendship also comes with a validity..As my first post goes 'Change is eternal'

Myself as a friend : Bestest of friends..moody but still there..helps me focus and determined in life..Good thing about the things that has happened is that it has helped me to concentrate on my career and goals as the only thing i had in life other than my family was work..helped me a lot in growing..

And one small conclusion i had not written last time around is that everyone in this post are the best of my friends and am always there for them and they are always there for me..
We are all friends for life..

Cheers!!!Loved writing this post..

Great Weekend

Its been really a long time since i penned down my thoughts..there has been a lot of things that has happened over these months..

First my dream of starting my company bloomed..i believed in myself but yet felt it was close to impossible for a boy from middle class family to realize such a big dream but it happened..Probably that has kept me busy from blogging..

But am breathing a bit freely from last 2 weeks..previous weekend was a good one with 3 good movies..'Gafla' in hindi..'Shoot at sight' in english and 'Vinayakadu' in telugu..Needed a good break and got it but this weekend was better..

Weekend started with some spine chilling music by Nirvana..
First 3 official meetings scheduled for saturday got canceled and then had to go out with one friend in the morning and with another in the evening but both got canceled..so it was good rest day for me till i decided to go shopping with my dad..went to brigade and entered the Levis showroom but out of so much collection i didn't like even a single jeans there and then went to Lee where the collection wasn't too good..stepped into Pepe showroom..i always liked the pepe brand but never really bought it due to cost factor but this was the day of spending so went and really loved the collection and fit and bought 2 jeans and 2 short casual shirts..cost a whopping 6,400 but due to discount came down to 4000 and the surprise was at the bill counter when my dad paid the bill ;-) .. in the evening just bought some essential stuff for office and then picked up about 5 dvds out of which one was a pathetic movie called ' Kambhakth ishq' ..crap movie i tell you..Script writers and directors still feel showing a bit of skin and using some raunchy double meaning jokes makes a movie hit..pity those idiots..

Sunday was brothers sisters day..me my friend and our sister had booked tickets for 'new york' i bet this is a good movie in sometime now..Real good movie..its story based and very little entertainment quotient in the movie..what made the movie special was the realistic ending rather than the miraculous happy ending usually bollywood movies have..Like to watch movies with a story and a strong one..Then had lunch at mcdonlads and desserts at Gelato..Liked the ice cream but cone sucked big time..my hunger for shopping hadn't really ended the day before..so checked out some stuff at Levis and again the collection looked mediocore..found a couple of neat t shirts at Pantaloon..picked them up and headed back home..Evening went to meet a friend and spent some quality time..came back to watch the match between Roddick and fedrer..stepped out a few minutes to meet a couple of friends and to return the cd but couldn't move an inch for nearly 2 hours..what a match..Roddick just shocked fedrer until the second set tie break..then it was pure awe to watch the relentless exhibition of pure ecstasy and grand strokes i have ever witnessed so far in tennis..first time in my life did i choose tennis over cricket and i felt it was worth it..It was a great win for Fedrer but for me respect for Roddick just doubled..from the times in 2004 and 2005..this time around his game was so mature..what i love about Roddick is that he plays by instinct and power..love the rawness of his game..Fedrer tamed the rawness on previous occassions but here roddick's tennis had a new element called maturity..On a personal not it would have been an icing on the cake to witness Roddick win but its fine..There is always another day..


Nice weekend..Rejuvinated.. Replenished..Refreshed..Refuelled..
