The Reel...

It's been quite sometime now I have been thinking about.... gotchya ! No haven't been thinking about anything random and probably it wouldn't even matter to you much either but then again, I wanted to write so here I am. But there's something common that bonds the two people together, ha right! no it's not the sex (or copulation, for the geeks who like it that way, or are too shy to admit to the word itself! )nor is it the marriage, that people commit to without re-considering the consequences! By now the married ones might wanna stop reading this altogether, but then on second thought, I don't have any married follower- so saves me some lecture on that one! *phew*. Well, I am presuming by now it'll be better for me to let you know here that am just talking about Friendship. I know everyone has seen F.R.I.E.N.D.S by now and if not, don't worry, you haven't missed much but 6 friends who are you know- 'friends'.Am not talking about the number of friends you have on FB (Facebook, come on! Even i know that) or myspace or twitter or any of those socializing networks where 'your' number of friends are greater than 'my' number of friends ( how's that possible, did I not add all my nursery school friends?!). It's actually not about the numbers at all, nor is it about the one special 'girl' friend who you wanna end up dating , sleeping or probably even marrying ( Thinking of Harry met Sally? nay, not a good time I'd say).Big step huh, you naughty lil' mind! Have you had this feeling well, when you probably wouldn't have anyone- no parents, no siblings, probably even no life partner, but then there's this person who would be with you, standing next to you, not wanting anything, but being with you because he/she knows you guys have a lot to share. Not because you're miserable and your life sucks, but to make you understand that how every ray of light is an image of the past,present and the future that's been, and will be there, how every moment spent laughing or farting and then blaming it all on the sewage system, looking at those maidens made the life look so full and young, the shots of jager and Irish bomb had it all swivelling about the open spaces, were filled with 'us'. With whom talking anything and everything is not the issue- 'go tell her, you like her...', 'take a puff bro...','use protection, and don't be shy...', is like reading your mind and putting it in words, things you want to do, but it's this person who arranges the puzzle and presents it in lay man's term, for else life would be a complicated web of struggles and issues unsolved, mistakes not committed and lessons not learnt, with pages turned but the story forgotten- it's like writing in sand and looking at the sand clock ! It's a truth we never see and a lie we never say, but 'the friend' remains, when your world comes to an end. Don't wait for the right friend, because no one is right till you go wrong... :)
