We had joy! We had fun!

What is friendship? Is it wanting to hang around with someone all the time? Is it a sense of companionship which you feel when you are with someone? Is it jus a sense of security that someone out there knows you, likes you for what you are and admires you? Is it living life together by each other’s side? Is it sharing and caring for someone?

Is friendship a walk by the river hand in hand? Or a walk in the rain, with folded jeans for that little cuppa chai and masala puri that awaits you? Is it talking long hours on the phone jabbering about every little incident? Is it giving up your latest crush cuz you know your friend loves him? Is it always making time and keeping in touch? Is it what drives a weekend catch-up call across 7 seas or a lengthy STD call when on roaming?

Is it knowing that even after years of not seeing or talking to someone you can still connect within a jiffy? Is it meeting in a queue for movie tickets and feeling like you have known each other for ages? Is it spending hours together writing scripts for skits and plays? Is it spending hours planning life together, everyday? Is it about understanding that the special someone needs more airtime than you do? ..about you stepping two steps back so that the couple can get two steps closer? Is it knowing when someone needs a hug and when someone needs to be left alone?

Is it rushing to every fest in the town and celebrating in each other's company? Is it making trips across the town just to meet one last time before taking off on a weekend trip? Is it about having the comfort of discussing your screwed up love life over and over again? Is it that which makes you wake up at 5 in the morning and rush to deliver a surprise birthday cake? Is it going bankrupt but still buying the most expensive birthday gift you can?

Is it just love disguised and knocking on a different door of your heart?

It is a place that only you can fill...

Awesome!

For me, you define the deepest friendship... When I do not want the world to see me, since they would not understand, a friend is some one to whom I can show who I am...

Awesome is an understatement!
Have read your blog for the first time, but i feel i will it everytime now on..:)
I dont writemuch, so forgive poor me!

Friendship is all you said and much more.
A friend is
Someone with whom you can sit for hours, discussing all about everyone else, listening most of the time, seeing old pictures of family and friends again and again.
Someone who listened to same old stories of yours for nth time, but dint say anything.
Someone who sat with you on train steps for hours together, just staring whatever passed by!
Someone who does it for you, but says he did it for himself!
Someone who would come for you when no one else would/could!
Someone who forgives you for all your wrongs, just to be there for you, with you!
Someone who is angry with you, hates you, but still loves you!



Shubhs
(If it can be laks, y cant Shubhs..:-))

Very touching !
My first visit to your blog and I'm impressed :)

If friendship is all this and more, we may need to recount the number of friends we have...agree ?

You mentioned about giving up love for your friend. Does it work vice-versa?
Is friendship stronger and deeper than love ? Ah, the quintessential question remains..
