Now, that is pretty self explanatory.. yes.. Let me try and explain what that means to me though..
To me, fair weather friends are simply those with whom u share ur longest laughter.. who bring joy to you.. who add spice to your life.. who are with you when you are happy and gay and all bubbling with energy, when u have ur best to present to the world.. when the sun shines and the moon smiles.. n the beautiful colors of the rainbow make your life seem more worth while.. in cheerful parties and merry making.. when all u want is to blow up ur cash.. when you know your life is so wow! that u could ask for no more.. when all goes well… but these people would rather not be near u when u cant b your best...
…And u will find plenty of people of this type all around you..
And, Unfair weather ones are those friends who seem to always be there when you need a helping hand with life.. when u don’t seem to be able to manage on your own.. when u need a shoulder to cry on.. when u want someone to cling on to.. when u want to crib about all that has gone wrong and all that can.. when u want support and company to make you stable and sure of yourself.. when u want to define your purpose in life.. when u want to sort things out.. when u feel shaky and weak.. when u r down and low.. n everything seems out of place..
but these people cant for anything in the world realize that u r more than just a pile of sorrows and that ur lows are not the only things that define you or ur life..
…And you will find a fair number of such buddies as well..
And then there are those friends who are jus there… always..
Through thick and thin and in the right sense of that phrase..
For whom life is but incomplete without you..
who live a part of your life for you..
Those angels who make every day sunny and bright by just being a part of it.. who make life an absolutely wonderful and enriching experience.. whose thoughts revolve around not just their own lives but yours as well.. who are friends for the sake of friendship..
who stick with you in fair and unfair times…with whom u have laughed and cried.. with whom u can be completely yourself and not when u r happy or down, but always..
who can feel happier for you than you can feel for yourself and who can also get into your shoes when u cant handle it alone.. who complete ur life.. whom nature has destined to set examples.. to be role models.. who know u in and out.. the way u know urself and want to be known.. who mean more to u than u can ever describe.. who symbolize the 'ultimate friendship' if there were to be one such thing.. :) with whom u wanna live and die.. and who are simply larger than life..
"...no one can ever know me..
no one can ever see me..
since u r the only one who knows what its like to be me...."
- Rembrants
this is my salute to the few such people in my life..
who are irreplaceable..
who are a part of me and will always be…
who r my greatest assets..
thank you..
I may not say this often.. but u know what u r to me..
life is beautiful only cuz of you.. :)
PS: this one is for you sweetheart.. I would never have known what friendship is if I hadn’t known you..

sweetheart and all?? wonder who that was for??!! ;-) hmm...
anyways, quite a nice observation...cant say i have tooo many of the first kind...have quite a few in the second and lots in the third!!
hm.. thanks soapy.. :) as for the sweetheart bit, the one its intended for knows.. he he! so.. :D
Like soapy says, nice observation. It could be interesting to turn it around and observe, too. Like how a person is with his/her friends. Im sure most of us will fit into each of your categories with a different set of friends. So, in that sense, i would think most of us fit into all categories :)
well....i didnt think of it in such detail when i did use those terms! ;) but u r quite right ,and a healthy mixture of the first and the second is ensured,when u choose to be in the third category! and i dare say its rather a pre-requisite for any meaningful r'ship! :) and again, who exactly is this sweetheart ??? :D
anirudh, guess u r rite.. n there are whole lots of other ways of looking at it.. I wud rather not dissect it any further.. :D
anonymous, well.. :D cant agree more when u say 'its a pre-requisite to any meaningful relationship..' n sweetheart, well.. watever i said to soapy holds.. :) btw, do u still choose to be 'anonymous'..?? :))
Nice and very apt for me at this point of time!! Really got me thinking...and at 5:30 am with no sleep for the last 36 hrs...
