Finding Friends

Life without friends is like a Bollywood movie without a bikini scene. Both are very essential in making the environment refreshing, sensational, unforgettable and in spicing up the moments. Recently, all those actions have been terribly missing from my life, feeling like being marooned on a city of more than 1 crore people.

The number of friends I have, has dipped down like the stock markets in recent days. The count, which was more than the number of hairs on Andrew Symmonds’s head (and maybe other parts), has now dried up and looks like that of Virendar Sehwag (’s head). Though some of my extremely patient friends have taken the pain to keep in touch with me, don’t know if they would be feeling like a kid being compelled by his teacher to sit in class, when he urgently wants to drop his pants and sit on a commode. Some even feel that watching Karzzzz for three hours is better than talking to me for 30 seconds. To make matters worse, I don’t know the reason for this. Yes I have been a bit insensitive, rude, negligent, miserly, arrogant, stubborn, foolish kind of a person, but… why am I losing friends???

I had a mild shock when one of my “used to be good friends” honored me with most of the above adjectives (add the term egoistic to that which my dear friend later accepted to cancel it from the list). Yes I have a few terribly frank friends, more terrible than Himesh Reshamiya and more frank than Rakhi Sawant. And I am sure there would be few who would like to add some more terms to that list.

Friends are like undergarments. You may wear a Tommy Hilfiger shirt and a Denim jeans below it, look cool by wearing expensive eye and wrist gears, gel up your hair making yourself look like a porcupine, but if you do not wear your undergarments, you miss something and you miss them very badly. Friends are equally essential. So all you boys and girls who take trouble to read my blog, in the spirit of friendship and brotherhood (latter one not meant for girls), please take some more trouble and get in touch with me, or else I will make you sit and watch Aag, Phoonk and Drona all alone, back to back.
