After the long vacation, my brain was almost out of variety of thoughts. All it had was general family concerns. When I woke up today all I had in mind was what to do today, its been ages since I worked on anything. Today is also going to be same routine. Go to office, sleep, play, chat and come back home - cook and go to sleep. But finally, a friend (is she is a probable close one?) got upset over her friends and gave my hungry brain some food.
What does friendship mean to you? Difficult question to answer truly and frankly. What does it mean to me? Obviously apart from the cliche stuff like, love, warm, sharing and caring. do you actually start being friends? There is no demarcating line where you can know that yes we are friends from this moment onwards. No you cannot know how and when and the most important WHY. Why you choose to be friends with some and stay away from others is a little difficult to answer. The actual truth is hidden behind the very existence of human life.
Expectations - a dreaded term by all. I have heard people saying and have been inadvertently been saying the same stuff to others that expectations is the mother of all fights. Expectations along with Need is a deadly combo. Oh well, I have some different thoughts about it now. Its expectations + need + completeness which brings people closer or even throws them apart. When all this meet you are bound to be close for the life time. We always tend to find people who have something which we would wish to have and are lacking. Its generally said that like minded people become friends easily but thats because like minded people always feel that the other person has more knowledge on the similar stuff and you are excited about knowing it.
You expect the person to share her knowledge/feeling. You need her to be supporting you. And you together indicate completeness in terms of skill/feeling. I know its difficult.....
There, I had ended to write on this blog almost a year back. I dont have the same enthusiasm right now to continue on this topic so thought even if its incomplete I'll publish it. Maybe some day it might trigger some of my nerve cells.
