Aah Friendship!

Ah...what a word...friendship!
Yeah, i agree one should not dry one's laundry in the public...especially when it has semblance of your 'loose character' spread all over it!But, i'm tempted as they say everything has a colour...and every colour has a scheme, quintessentially unique! I wonder,though, if 'my' colour would offer any solace to the colourist!

Whatever. Friendship!!

Very tricky word. It has puzzled me incessantly...mercilessly...and for so long! Friends...they are plenty...more than the mushrooming mushroom! Omnipresent...omninascent...omniimpotent! There's a saying in wise circles that if you can not be anything, you can,at least, be a friend. Factually, you don't have to do anything to be a friend...my God...what a job, if we can call it a job!More, they are the busiest!I havn't come across somebody who is not a 'friend', yet!! You may, here or somewhere there, come across a jobless...a hopeless(hmmm)...a fatherless(like me)...a motherless...i mean all sort of 'lesses', but, i throw John Donne hat here, even if you find a 'friendless' creature and in the meantime you bring him(with 'her' it's an impossibility) to me, he will be a friend to someone!

And hats off to the God of all things friend...Facebook, which has more than 700 mn friends on its wheels..ah rolling wheels!Rolling wheels gather all moss!Have an email id...open an account...paste a picture not necessarily yours( every gob has a chance to  musketeer around as a Brad Pitt cousin...and a pensioner can pose like a sophomore...great na!) and be the game!Some of the 'wheels' have a few thousand mosses...these mosses, though, remain spoked on a distant planet...you can be their friend but you cannot have them around when you need a Disprin or a Munna Bhai jhuppi or ....you add your thing and repent yourself!

Friendship...it's a magic word...a panacea!Where there is a need, there is a friend indeed! You want to start a relationship,'can we be friend?'...you want to dump somebody,'can we be friends again?'...you got a better option,'it was nice to be your friend'...you want to keep somebody on the loose forever,' i don't know much, but we are friends'...talk to somebody all night all blah blah things only to discover,'we are friends'...you are with your 'friend' and another 'friend'(what on earth he is doing here, sort of!),'ah..meet my friend.....'!!!!Deja vu?

Friendship is immortal...irrelevantly revocable!Never have a guilt feeling...if you have, then you are not playing by the manual.If you wish to use the great source potential friendship offers, you ought to be at your mind's best...and,kindly leave your heart off the sleeve! If,it happens very rarely, your friend discovers that he/she is being used then dip your guilt or game in your tears...put it on your friend's head for the sake of friendship...shout your 'then-n-there invented helplessness' sobbingly and walk away in a jiffy...you are safe. Let the 'friend' lick and shine his/her ass!!!!A few tears and a few minutes' sob-snare can bring any friend, any time back to the tarmac!Because a true friend is one who believes in the ass, not in the kick!

Ever missed 'maa ke haath ka khana' all those tifin years!Or, ever missed that post-school cycle race while still in school!Ever loved that 'from-the-top-of-your-village-home-sunrise' more than now???

Then, have we ever stooped down to the well of our tears to know why 'Dil Chahata Ha' chokes our throat every time we dare dwell among those three friends! Why 'Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara' is flying so high on our pockets or on our hearts...not because of Zindagi, but because of the friendship! Ever dare know, whether your heart cries on those 'friendship moments' or it cries for the lack of some of them in your life!

How wistfully we crave for our share of friendship...true friendship!!!!

Ahh...friendship...what a word...what a feeling.
Don't drag me to the mushy-mushy.

Well,again...it's not easy to be a friend...a true friend.Somebody who has an ass of iron and head of steel...ego of a dog and esteem befitting a 'she-dog'...eyes blinder than an owl on a day-out and ears more deaf than a snake...can be one the one.Tongue of a squirrel would complete the mould!Ah..friend...friendship!
