…..

You have friends. You have relatives. You meet people, eat drink and laugh together. You realize its time to get serious in life and search for a job. You earn, party, save, build a foundation for so called future. Ever realize your future has all the previous things in store?

The days you and your cousins played hide and seek and lock and key together. All of them are so spread apart now, All you do is whatzapp them on their birthdays and anniversaries. The days you come late after playing with friends, come home and make plans for next day, call up and ask doubts, share lunch during breaks, where are all those people? Yeah, in your facebook friends list, all you do is see photos and may be message them. When was the last time you picked up your phone and called your school friend to tell them, you want those days back?

Your once upon a time best friend, now so busy with her husband, do you feel bad? Yes, its the same case with all of us dont you think? Your crush now having a gala time with his new girlfriend. You get that pang of jealousy, even though you are married and have kids. SO SO true.

Why do you think all the above happen? Because we expect something out of everything we do. We help, but expect a similar help or appreciation. We call up someone. But the next time you would want them to. Because we dont talk. Yes, we dont talk. You feel like talking to your friends, call up. You hate your co-worker? Tell him. You want to tell someone that u miss her to the core? Whats wrong..you never lose anything by admitting it.

Life is stressful. I know i have written very arbitrary things in there. But each and everything is a cause of frustration and may be they add up and you end up taking all of it on your mother the end of the day. Not worth it. Truly not worth it. Just talk. It helps.

This post is written by one of my very good friends, and may be it applies to all of us (even though its so so arbit, not mentioning names here 😉 ), so posting it. :)))

Nostalgia.

Yup. I miss you.

I miss getting up and seeing u asleep with your mouth wide open. I miss waking u up with a shout, which eventually would result in me getting tickled to death.
I miss making tea and breakfast for you, and you nodding your head with approval however yuck that might taste. I miss you singing for me, and me commenting on your bray. I miss the way you call me fat, and i ramp walk to show off my fatness , making u agree that you have no choice but to stay with me.
I miss you fighting with me about my nagging, and my constant cribbing about your mom. I miss pestering you for panipuri, and eventually me taking you out to eat at the lousiest place possible.
I miss our 2 min jewellery shopping. I miss we going to the movie without even brushing. I miss going to the beach and sitting in AC car, you gobbling my paddle pop icecream , which I would’ve given you just to taste.
I miss commenting on other girls with you, and I miss you praising me in comparison. I miss getting completely drunk with you, and then running away from you shouting ‘Dude, dont take advantage of me’.
I miss climbing unknown dirty hills with you. I miss getting lost in the middle of the jungle. I miss our ‘so called adventure’ trips, which eventually would turn out horrifyingly, still adventurous,’what not to do’ stuffs.
I miss you making fun of my hindi. ANd me making fun of your ‘not so telgu’. I miss your made up stories and poems. I miss you talking utter nonsense and me being completely awestruck at how someone could be so creative even with bullcrap!
I miss we being together. I miss you.I miss us.

PS: If i dont come there soon, I will forget you. Beware. 😉
