The Nutshells called Friends

-
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another “What! You too? I thought I was the only one” said a legend. So who are exactly friends? Why do we dwell into em so much? Inspite of us having a dozen of cousin, sibling, peer group and of course our parents. So much that our thought processes, emotions and to some extent decisions are driven in that way.

 We always have a special niche carved for our friends. Even though they are no less of an exception that they will misunderstand or hurt you. But as Bob Marley had once said “The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.” I feel this is an apt description of who friends are. Maybe that is why we get back to them sooner or later after a quarrel or dispute. We just can’t do without the warm companionship of a good, loving and slightly nut crack friend.

There are some who have friends in almost every sphere of the earth while there are some who are choosy and like to take time. That doesn't make a difference, the friend circle size never determines the friendliness of a person. But it is the real person inside that guy who opens up after being a friend. Welcome to my bad ass nature! You may never really show what you are and how you really feel to anyone, but the level of comfort with a friend makes you talk about everything under the sun (& the moon at night times) *wink*

Also, there is a variety to the friends we all might have. It’s sometimes longer than the restaurant’s menu size. Some whom we may see once or twice a year, mostly at birthday treats; while some almost regularly. Some may call you up when they’re in need of you, while some may run up to you when you’re in need. Some keep on laughing about your life decisions, while some get worried even more than you about it. Some call you when you’re admitted in the hospital, while some sense the urgency of the situation and talk to you hours at night till its 4. Some drive you crazy with their nonsense & some you get to torture because of their weird levels of patience.

Finally, good or bad, cheesy or mad, however they are, we all cherish having friends in our life. Even though if some are not in contact because of whatever the reasons maybe, they've been a special part in our lives and it's true they’re valued and we love them. A person is happiest when he has all these mad people in his/her life, life gets colourful and the harp gets tuned.

Oh yeah, we love the best friends more and that is true. They’re there all the time and you tune a notch better with them than the rest. But life is colourful, when all the colours, dark and light splash in your life, even though you've a favourite of yours. A mix of all the annoying crazy crackpots is needed to balance our life & that is F.R.I.E.N.D.S!

“Friends, thy beauty.”

Little stories - from the year goneby

  2020 was a year that none of us would forget in our lifetime. A year which made the world stop, quite literally . Absolutely crazy time which threw every system, every bit of regularity there is to life and every relation out of order. Having been caught by surprise, of course, everyone panicked and made frivolous attempts to make sense out of the situation. The ridiculously long time of being confined to one’s own house drew the entire race crazy, because by definition, humans are social animals and the socializing aspect was lost. This got me thinking, how innate it is for us to socialize (even for introverts), the basic urge to meet varied people and communicate is what makes us, US! While a few, staying away from their families discovered how it is getting back home; the ones working on frontline during this pandemic realized how it is being away from family, even after being home. A lot of us valued physical touch even more and how comforting even a simple hug, handsha...

Surreal yet real

This post is a bit out of the box and a very elaborate one. It is about my experiences of that amazing, spine chilling, mother of all thrillers night. So brace yourselves. Many of you, at least the goan pals, might've heard about the famous 'Gadyanchi Jatra of Sal'. To break it down, 'Gade' can roughly be called as players. 'Jatra' can be described as a periodical festival celebrated in honour of an idol or local deity. To further clarify, the happenings that occur in this festival are mystic and can be attributed to the cause of supernatural forces. Though science does not believe in the existence of life after death, many cultures in the world have a lot of rituals dedicated to ghosts and spirits. Before some of you jump off to the conclusion of calling it rubbish and declaring it to be another post spreading superstition in this age of advancement, I ask you to further read on. Even I'm a science student and trust me I'd taken this down...

Back with a bloggy bang :P

So it's been a long time since I've written a blog. After years, I'm back to it. This time cause of another friend of mine. Thank you mate! Cheers. Let's see for how long this stint continues. Hopefully more than a year. Well more than will, I'll need continuous pestering to keep on writing and hopefully go full down throttle with it. The way summer season seems to be ghastly eating up the water resources, the same way its going on with my thoughts. Needless to say, it's summer making me ponder, what to write with the cursor being stationary at the same place for a couple of minutes to write the next sentence. Writing your first blog is always tricky. not like you don't know what to write. There are many things to write but then you cant write all of them in the first post itself. Saal bhar yeh hi kachra toh jhadna hai . So this was just a way to restart things. Perhaps a short introductory fresher's course. Hopefully it'll sustain. Till th...
