Friends and.... Well, Just Friends

Sudha got engaged yesterday… I was excited, but at the same time was depressed. Preetha , one of my very good friends, got married in the month of May, 2005. Amma used to tell me that after marriage, all old relationships, especially friendships (among women to be precise) begin to wither away. But I was so confident that it would not happen so with my friends. I used to brag about how close were my friends….

We are still close (at least I want to believe so…), but I don’t find very comfortable speaking with her. I don’t know what the reason is.. Its just that I feel I have to be careful about what I speak to her. Maybe she would feel offended if I joke about her hubby. Janesh says “What crap??!!” ( His English has improvised for the worse ;) He uses “Shit” and “Crap” in every other sentence he speaks.)

Hmmm… may be its crap after all… Well.. whatever. Its ok… Oh No No!! I’m not consoling myself. There is no element of consolation here. Its just a big long sigh!!!

Shakespear said "All world's a stage and we all are just puppets in the show." For the better or for the worse, "The show must go on... ". I used to counter argue these statements , but now my thoughts are falling in line with them..

People change so much and i'm not an exception. Its just a matter of acceptiong the change. The sooner we do so.. the better....

i used to feel guilty about not catching up with old friends . then i had a roomie in college who had this funda of keeping the balance between us zero. not a ruppee less or more and one never had any obligations to the other. At that time it seemed unnecessary , but now I realize when we parted we parted with no debts either in money or actions or emotions, because we always worked on barter.

i had another friend who i felt emotionally attached , he was basically a leech who used all my stuff under the excuse of being my friend ... and now when i think of him ,I know which one was a better friend and why...

hmmm , i am hijacking ur blog... i ll stop here
p.s: the stuff abt writing for urself is true, ur mom is right :)
