Friends 4ever….
Friendship–the ship that never sinks…
Oft written statements in slam books and autographs, when it’s time to bid farewell to your set of friends in each phase of life… 10th,12th, final year in college…or even when you shift schools…..But do they really make sense? Most often not, at least that’s what I’ve been observing or rather experiencing. In spite of all opportunities to keep in touch , thanks to all the technological advancements, there are very few friends whom I’m still in touch with(of course, I do accept I may have been responsible for that),very whom I care about or who care about me. Even the best of friends at one time turn out to be totally estranged, or end up making courtesy calls once in a while.
There was a time when I never really understood backstabbing by friends, and felt really upset when I realized that those whom I’d considered best friends were not to be. Now, many have come and gone, a few still remain, who I hope to have for a lifetime.There are others who I know are just transitory, friends for the present. At times it’s best not to expect much and get a good surprise, rather than expecting the most ideal things and getting disappointed… May be this can tag me a pessimist, but that’s how it works better for me…. Though I’ll be more than happy if I can have good friends all through my life… And I do respect the views of all those who believe in “friends forever” and admire those who are able to maintain so.
Love you …all my friends…!!!

A typical me comment....
would like to see that list of friends where you have tagged some as past, present, continuous(hopeful) etc..... why dont you post that as the next post...

I think my latest post deals with some of the issues you've raised in this post.
The society seems to be encouraging us all to be wary and keep a good distance from our friends, making us less of what TRUE friends are supposed to be.
What do you think?
