If the ethereal world of blogging was to be compared to some place on earth, it would probably be Mumbai or Frankfurt or some other big city where there are umpteen feet, big & small ones, funny looking ones, teeny tiny ones…. And today I land in this mess of feet. There is constant activity all around and I am standing on the tangents. I gingerly put my feet in…whoosh…!! The feeling is amazing. It seems like a new start - can almost smell the freshness of a brand new blog; the virgin background, the dark ink, and the thoughts flowing freely without any barriers... Hmmm... so what should I write about? Should I describe my pillar of strength and sense of identity – my mom? Or should I talk about the unconditional support and encouragement that my friends provide me time and again? Or perhaps I should pen down the chronicles coming straight from the hallowed portals of my college and the various educational institutes which have given me and still continue to give me so much, not only in terms of academics; but in terms of memories which I’ll always carry with me wherever I go.
But I guess, a topic that has always remained closest to my heart is friendships!... After having so many friends, and few of them so close all my life, I have asked myself a million times how the hell am I going to maintain my commitment to their friendships after I marry and if I can't, then is there any sense in investing so much of my feelings, emotions, time and energy in nurturing these very relationships which I may have to uproot in a few years. And every time I've asked this, something in me tells me just one thing - enjoy this moment - this moment is your life! It really doesn't matter whether we'll be able to be friends forever, whether we'll be always able to share moments, thoughts and problems with as much comfort and ease; so long as we are together now. And that is what friendship is about na - it transcends all boundaries of age and time. It just avows the fact that whatever be the distances between us, whatever be our compulsions, our obligations, our helplessnesses, we'd be there for each other. Friendships give tremendous strength and I guess thats reason enough to give it one's all. What I've shared with my buddies is truly wonderful. I really don’t think I can define my relationship with my buddies or give it a name…its much beyond friendship… its this quiet confidence and trust that we share…this comfort zone that we have where we can actually discuss anything.. this small voice in our hearts which keeps reminding us that no matter where we go, who we are with, what we do… anytime and anyplace, we always have each other. These are guys who have helped me live my life, who have shown me how wonderful life can be and have strongly reinforced my faith in the goodness of friendship!!!
All I can say is: Somewhere Someone must be very happy with me to have given me such AWESOME friends!!!!!!!!!!!!! So here’s to all my friends… cheers… and here’s to my first ever blog… cheers again!!! :)
