"There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth."
- Chankya.
I am reminded of my school friends on this friendship day. Friends are the greatest treasure in life on whom we can rely on for everything – be it gossiping, maintaining secrets, sharing happiness, giving vent to anger or letting out an outburst of emotions and grief.
My school time friendship was purely built on innocence! The elementary school friends who come along thru the “Ring-a-ring-a-rose…. Hush-a-bush-a.. we all fall down…hahahaha…” The sweet giggles that triggered thru every small innocent act built in a good-to-feel bond, that really made me go to school the next day, the day after that and so on… I am sure that some may not remember me, and I may not remember some of them now, but thanks for sowing those wonderful healthy seeds of friendship in me….
As the days went by, from the “ring-a-ring-a-roses”, friendship developed with yet another set of friends thru each day, thru each year… over cricket, over chats with the boy near me in classroom, with the boy who accompanied me to school every morning in the bus and back home, over combined studies, over pen-fights in class… this list is endless. Let me take a minute to thank my school friends till my 12th who have helped me in moulding my character in the outside world, who have all helped me in keeping me on the right track from not going astray, who have made my school days memorable n sweet. Thanks boys!!!
Adolescence to Adulthood… School days to College life… Some of them came along with me into this phase of my life too, carrying the same torch of friendship… there were others who became new companions in life..
Class unities were displayed more often in the form of mass-cuts – the class as a whole came closer.
Labs and lab records – more than doing the labs together, we got time for all chit-chats – the bond grew closer now.
Being together for hours in the name of combined studies – I got to know some of my today’s closest friends!!!
I am running short of words to thank you all!!!
It got all the better when I was staying with my friends in Chennai while working. That’s the time I was 24 * 7 with them as roommates. The friends whom I knew at college during 8 hours, I now knew them much better. They knew me too. It was great to be at a hotels sharing food from each other’s plate. From chennai beaches to indoor cricket matches, from outdoor eating to indoor cooking, it was getting better than mere friendship to a bond beyond that. I think it would be too formal on my part to thank you guys – it was more of our involuntary actions for each other, and of the love and affection each of us had on one another. Mates, you have left an inerasable mark on my life…
“Dear Friends,
Don’t’ lead me, I may not follow you…
Don’t’ follow me, I may not lead you correctly,
Let’s walk this road of life together…”
Dedicated to all my friends….
