Donno what to call it!

Yaaron..Dosti badi haseen hai!
Cant tell how much truth lies in these simple words. But this simplicity eludes us. Underneath lies complexity as never seen before. Human relationships are by far most convoluted. Friendship? Not an exception. According to some, friends come and friends go. How much importance do people attach to friendship? Or does it diminish as time passes and each one gets their own family?
Personally, I would like to think that it never reduces, but truth is that , in most cases priorities change after one gets his own family.

Arent there some things that you can never share with your parents/spouse? They would not relate to it as well as your old pal would. Its a different world..aint it? Those peals of laughter, those words of wisdom, those times of what-you-did-today, what-I-did-today,those confessions of love. Beautiful, Genuine. Cherishable. Some of them you want to keep for life. Thats Dosti :)
You might dislike a thousand things in your friend, but the one thing that makes you love him so much, blinds you, enables you to accept him as he is.

Its a sea , so you ought to experience rough weather sometime! But nothing like talking it out. When you have problems, talk it out with the person concerned. Else it will build up and burst another day. When do friendships start getting bitter? When expectations arise. When there s an imbalance in the relationship, when you love him more than he does. When you do small things thoughtfully for him that he never realizes. This is why its very important to acknowledge what people to do for you, however small they are. Thanking a friend is not going to mean anything formal, its just going to mean that you realize what he has done for you, and that will make your friend feel good, not that he expects you to do it, but nevertheless it becomes your duty, never take anyone for granted. I have heard many people tell me that their friendships with close ones never involve sorry and thank you. According to me, it is most important that everyone realizes what the other person does for them, its important to express when you have to, it takes a big man to apologize.

Let me take this opportunity to thank all my friends who have done little and big things for me:-
Subbu, Aishu,Archana,Alok, Swetha,Anu, Deepika, Gayathri, Pallavi, Poorva,Joshwini, Shama, Varun, Prema, Vinod, Swami,Sathish, Dinesh,Ajay,Rupesh, Krishna, Chethan, Navneeth, Mummy, Daddy :)

Love ya all!!
Rock on!

SIMPLY GREAT!

I feel that there is no relationship like a true friendship.

Friendships start getting bitter when expectations arise.. very well said. But sometimes, we can't help expecting something, even if it is in the form of a nice word, from your friend.
I totally agree with you in aknowledging what others do for you. I also think that the importance given to friends and friendship reduces as one gets his/her own family. Most of the time a while of seperation can also reduce the thickness.

Great thoughts on friendship.
Maduri rocks! :D
