Friendship and its side effects !


Another of those wingling thoughts in my head which am writing about :) There are some people who come into our lives and are meant to stay only for a brief period...Ofcourse the fact remains that they dont go away..They dont dissapear...They are very much in your life..But the friendship u shared once upon a time just withers away..Fades off...Gets neglected!

Being a frequent "chirkutter" (Lotsa Orkutting! ;)) on the mention of a particular someone who for some strange reason is now limited only to my orkut profile and otherwise would probably not even be knowing if i was dead or alive!! But then : "All people in your friend list cant be called your forever friends"

Now this put me into thought : "How many 'friends' do i actually have?"

Lemme rephrase that..."Are all the people I know and who were friends with me once upon a time still my 'friends'??" "Do we still care as much?" "Do we still bother to keep abreast of whats happening with each other?(In hindsight, do we really want that?)" or "Has the distance, time and work constraints come in between??" Well the answer was pretty obvious...

The reason for this happening could be...I did not manage to keep in touch...They got too busy..I got held up..They felt ignored...To cut the story short...Nobody is to blame...We all got screwed up by life and somewhere all of us lost a little bit of each other...The bit that really cared or seemed to!! :(

But then again its not all that black...We still know we are there for each other...and I've still got some tried (their patience) and tested(their friendship) 'u-can-call-me-at-any-time-of-the-day-or-night' buddies and 'il'l-always-be-there-for-you-all-u-need-to-do-is-just-holler' pals..:) So all is not lost and hopefully never will be -- For them and For me..Touchwood! :)
