I was driven by my curiosity to google the word “Friendship day” - “Friendship Day is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of August , it basically started in 1935 in US and observing the popularity it gained in US many other countries adopted it. The United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world's Ambassador of Friendship.
Didn't plan anything special this friendship day because of having too many things on my plate, to be honest I didn't even have in mind this Sunday is the friendship day but thanks to Prapti for scarping me in orkut 'lets meet up this Sunday, its friendship Day'. I made sure to keep this Sunday eve free for her, did not even mind postponing my plan to watch 'Love ajj kaal' though dying to watch it!!
Prapti- I know her since class eleven, we both are crazy and silly in our own ways!! We have had blasts together since school. I remember once we celebrated a valentine day together -eating heart shape pizzas and buying heart shape gifts for ourselves. Oh, we both didn't believe in missing out the fun just because we were not going steady with any guy!! Though we have different ideals, dreams and principle in life but still we have always enjoyed each other's company to the fullest, may be because we always had good opinion about each other’s differences!!
Today my mobile inbox was flooded with friendship day messages, each message was adding a little more smile on my face and I was feeling little more happy as I was replying them one by one, making sure not to miss out a single one. Around mid day I started receiving lot of calls from friends, with some of them I had just fun chat and with some it was pouring out heart felt feelings to each other. One unexpected call was from Ritz, after some 15 years, he was my classmate in 5th standard in Allahabad, after leaving BJS (my school there), I completely lost touch with my friends there, unfortunately internet wasn't this popular that time, but thanks to Orkut and his good memory (for remembering me and sending a friend request).Though I was speaking to this guy after one and half decade, but found him to be the same funny, naughty, mischievous friend. Just before going out of my house I saw Bipasha, my best friend, online, I pinged her but her status changed to offline ..then as I was logging out of messengers to shut down my laptop and leave. One chat window popped up “ Hi !!happy friendship day!! Good you are online can chat “ . Though could chat with her long enough as I had to meet Prapti but that short conversation made a lot of difference!!
I met Prapti near forum at 5:30pm, we couldn’t resist hugging each other and as usual we complimented each other's shoes, dress and hair style. Then we decided to go to Mocca..we got up on an auto from opposite site of forum. We happily agreed to pay 30 bucks to the autowala although the distance would have been worth 14 bucks only. We were in too good a mood to bargain today!!
On reaching Mocca we had to wait for 10 mins. The silly waitress kept on telling us " 2 mins mam" till we went bonkers and blasted at her . I was damn hungry, I was starving since morning because I lacked the enthu to cook after completion of Sunday's special dusting and cleaning. We ended up ordering choco latte , cafe latte, Avalanche , French fries, Cajun Chicken, Chicken Panini, choco father followed by another choco latte & cafe latte,. The waiter was looking amazed at the eating capabilities of we ladies. Even the group of guys sitting behind us had stared at us each time the waiter was delivering our orders but who cares!!
While feasting on the yummy stuffs, we got busy revealing to each other how life is making us happy in someway and screwing us up in another, we had PJ session and then followed some serious RCAs on marriage, work, uncertainty of life, expectations. We were seeking suggestion from each other and offering undiplomatic, honest feedbacks. We were just blurting out whatever came to our mind without a thought!! We were being completely dillogical !! At 8:00PM we left Mocca and headed toward forum again. We did some window shopping there, and it was time to say "good bye" to each other, it was late.
On way back home, I was musing how great it feels -when we can dare to be our imperfect self infront of someone, when we can talk out our mind to someone without taking the pain of processing what we say, when we can confess our mistakes to someone without having the fear of losing the person , when we can trust someone with all our secrets.!! I was thinking how friends rescue me from the claustrophobic feeling which various circumstances of life plant in me again and again ,-" Thanks God for making friends !!"
