This one is with reference to the last post !! Well thers this friend of mine whos not into blogging world but is quite benevolent to read my posts & appreciate them when he really likes them. So he liked this about the last post ::
So in all its been a great year . A year where i have realised tht love aint about holding .. its abt lettin go & freedom , friendship aint about being close .. its about being there always .. lending a shoulder be it real or virtual .. showering a smile be it real or an E - Smile .... understandin the other & lettin him understand u .. Since i dont have anything specific to right about so lemme elaborate a bit.
Wont talk abt love cause people think that i m obsessed with it, which i m not. And moreover even i dont feel like writing about it now .. so why to blame others.
Friendship ---- If i would have been as illitrate as
sneha I would have called friendship a rainbow. Yups a rainbow. Its a mix of lots of colors. Red, blue, green, yelllow, orange .. almost all .
Disclaimer :: This ones gonna be hard .. quite hard on me .. i have decided to criticise now . So friendship is a mix of lotsa colors. Almost every individual knows that friendship means "
always being there " but has anyone ever tried to figure out what do we really mean by
being there. Are the moments of being there only those moments when one feels BLUE or when ones partying . To me its just one part of it. I mean i have seen so many people yelling out all inside them even in front of strangers [ CHATTING ].. may be cause they know that they wont have to look in to their eyes while talking or may be they have this option of escaping that person in case it doesnt work ,jst bcause for him/her he/she doesnt exist phsically . I have done tht lotsa times [ may be not now .. times change ].
TO me being their is when one really want someone .. when one really wants someone whom they call " F.R.I.E.N.D ". The times when u want someone to
trust u & when u can trust him/her. Trust is the crux here. Trust is the crux of friendship . When u can trust someone such that if u yell out things his eyes wont lie , he wont consider it as JST ANOTHER STORY AROUND , he wont make fun of u if its a serious one, he wont yell it out to others as these things r difficult to digest [ The problem of indigestion is not only with girls .. its with boys as well .. seriously ] . Its a risky initiative that one takes .. to trust someone .. the risk is .. Is it too early to trust .. or Is it even worth it .
See :: Friendship is like a play . A play of two characters [ considering two individuals only ]. And a play is successful only if each character plays his/her role to the best of his/her potential . Similarly , friendship is successful only if both individuals trust one another to the best of their ability of trusting.
Now one might say tht one has to jst play his/her part & leave rest to the other. But does it really work in the world of today . If u wish to convert some acquintance to a friendship based on trust .. and u have done evrything u cud possibly do & the other person is unaffected & doesnt respond .. how long will u stay ?? Wud u wait for eternity ?? Do we even have so much time !!
So according to me friendship is a relation which sways on the bridge called trust .. with river of pain running down .. a violent flow. And it swings well & stays there forever if the bridge is well constructed & decently maintained. Strong Winds of misinterpretations might try to turn it upside down .. but as i said if it the bridge is strong .. it doesnt require any other technology to maintain balance. IT will survive on its own. The thing is how strong this bridge cud be.
Disparaging :: I have this group of 12 friendz (includin me ). great buddies. Share lots of stuff specially FOOD :D . It all started frm d begining .. people went out & joined .. and it was almost final till 2 nd sem . [ Being diplomatic i m supposed to say .. all the batch's my friend .. which is true as well .. but since i have been along with these 11 for max .. so i can dare to comnt only on them ].
" WE R ALWAYS THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER " .. r we ?? sure we r .. but one things lacking .. and its tht god damn trust .. [ HE here means THEY .. all other 11]
lemme elaborate .. see even trust is of 2 types [ may be more ] ..
1. U trust tht he/she wont stab on ur back. He/she wud be the one who will get u an extra sheet of assignment when u have bunked .. and hes ur proxy man. U trust tht he wont leave his examination seat jst to sit next to a better person. U trust tht he would be the one shouting at his peak when ur out there .. on the field .. in a baddy match . But thts quite materialistic & very much expected. The bare minimum .
2. Heres the important one. The one i mentioned in the play exmpl. I trust u .. u trust me. I yell out things .. u arent supposed to be secretive. I tell u some stupid stuff .. u arent supposed to pull my leg .. tht too jst because i pulled ur leg someday .. sometime .... friendship aint about taking a revenge.
[ I apologise for being a ruthless legpuller though .. but nevr intended to hurt neone .. but who knws wht hurts him & wht doesnt .. so i m sry ]
SO its the second one tht lacks.
Example :: U guys remeber tht nite .. when the power went off . We were in dj's room .. all of us. Pulling one anothers leg .. having a hell lota time . Enjoying every bit of our friendship .. strengthening the bond . Donno but frm somewhere came this idea of telling stories about our past [ BACHPAN SE JAWANI TAK ] . And as a normal guy 2 guy talk is .. it was all about crushes & loves of ur life. As always in lime lite .. i was the choosen one .. the first one .. [ I M QUITE OPEN IN UTTERING THIGS OUT ] . I trusted u all .. each & evryone of u .. [ both kinds of trust ] .. i yelled it all . Told all tht was in here .. things tht even best of my friends outside college might not know . Then it was your turn . NO body spoke. I pin pointed .. took the names .. but none was ready . None spoke . U all maintained ur secrecy. If there was nothing [ which is imposssible ] no one didnt even said ' theres nothin worht telling ' .... rather it was ' ur a fool if u yelled it all .. u shud knw these games' . None has ever been ready. U might say u were shy .. lol .. so any of u have any idea how shy a guy i have been in my school life . It doesnt sound a big deal right ? .. jst another joke .. but only the GOAT knows the pain when its head goes off.
[
expml ends ]
And may be the trust didnt died that day . I m good at forgettin things .. but i do put them at the back of my head .. sweet or bitter memories.
And since then things havent been better. We all have been pals & for sure will be buddies all our lifes. Will recite stories of our friendship to our children & wives. Being a part of each others life .. but still somethings will lack . Well may be bcause they say "
NO RELATION IS PERFECT " . or may be i m jst thinking too much .
And the trust factor is dying day by day .. we hug each other .. praise each other .. encourage & motivate each other .. support .. cuddle & cry together. But do we trust one another [ the 2 nd type ] ?? Do we ?? Do I ?? Do U ??
And may be this has lead to some kind of - limiting our trust to 1 or 2 . OR may be if i m not wrong it is me who have both kind of trust on 1 or 2 & i guess many dont even have tht on 1 or 2 . Most of u prefer to be secretive. But then frienship is also not a relation one is to be forced in to. Its ur life .. ur wish !!
Question :: Is it [TRUST] really required ???? A billion dollar question . The answer is NO . WE have been great friends & will continue to be .. whtever happens under the sun . Evryday .. evrynite . But all we will miss is being called " THE BEST OF FIRNEDS EVER " .. do we care ?? Truly speaking .. I DO !!
SO buddies i know its gonna be hard but still lets infuse some more confidence in one another. Lets enter the sea of trust .. i know its exposed to lotsa storms .. but cant we face them together ??
HEY ..
But whtever happens we will sure be
f.r.i.e.n.d.s PS :: I aint no saint .. and i m not sayin that i m the best & most kind among us all. Rather i m d most ruthless leg pulller ever :D .. the most untrustworthy .. the least caring .. but i m a part of us . And tht does matter. I know i m up for some a** busting stuff . But u cant really figure out how hard the decision of writin this has been . But sometimes u need to dare .. for ur own sake . SO if i jst offended any of u .. MAAAF KAR DE BHAI ;) .. abe saale 2 ghante lag gaye likhte likhte
