This is ridiculous. The most liable relationship that of a friend is not a relationship. It’s just an acquaintance grown very strong. I believe it is so worthy that a few drops of blood (or whiskey) can really be drained for it. Friends are worthless, until you came across a situation wherein they prove themselves. That crush or that fight may be the most randomly occurring ones (surveyed and proven). There are words and there are faces of us which that one person understands (He himself is not aware) but is the staunch support in case you are kicked out or kicked in.
“We are best friends. Always remember that if you fall, I will pick you up… after I finish laughing.”

There is ONLY 1 BEST FRIEND at any given time of life. You don’t have many rather you don’t have even two. The point I would want to get onto is that the most Philosophical and Practical advice given by that friend in some past problem is a Humor today. Almost three decades down when we meet and sit there are instances unlimited.
“Good friends discuss their sex lives. Best friends talk about poop.”

As we spoke…. That first crush and what all you did for it and what all you went through. The best part is that all this while the Best Friend was simply doing charity, of time and of advise as well. He had no benefits flowing out and neither did you have when you worked stunts to get him to his crush. It Was Mutual.
“This is by far your worst idea ever…I’ll be there in 15 minutes.”
Do you really touch base with such friends even today ? Do you remember the 3 funniest instances or the 3 most riskiest ones ? There is only one best friend at given time and others are good friends. Best friends change but with time lapse every one of those best friend is close and worth cherishing. They are busy so are you but you don’t forget them. You never can get them out of your thoughts because that’s how you want your kid’s friends to be. I personally think that kids today are not that enterprising in those terms and with this pandemic the poor souls have lost a lot of time, mischief, adventures and achievements as well. Achievement of that handsome hunk in class or that pretty girl passing by and giving smile in the school corridors. Mischiefs involving the poor innocent dumb friend who ultimately gets caught for doing nothing. That smart friend who has solutions for every problem. That street smart friend who can go all out to anyone and say anything. That sticky friend who is never wanted at the right places. That friend your mother loved but your dad foretold (forecast calculated) to be a failure in future.
How can you term that fun you had? How can you unlearn that wrong thing you learnt? How can you relearn that chapter of your life?
After 30 years I am wondering why are we all not together ? I thought of writing this because there is definitely a need to open up this slice of consideration, daily in our life. Its not long when you will not even be able to read, forget recollecting memories. Remember before your memory fades. You will start forgetting name too…
To my friends: “Thanks for being there always. You are grateful for me!”
