Friends forever and more .....

  My younger daughter finished her last day at school a few days back ,she came home all sad and cranky and me being me kept pestering her abt wht is really bothering her about the last day of school . What she said made me think . Let me share with you 1 st wht she said to me ,this is what my little girl said " mom 12 years plus I have spent in school and in these 12 years I have made few friends and honestly these are the only friends I have ,suddenly all are  going their different ways to start their new journey to make their future. I too will be starting my new journey ,what if I have forgotten how to make friends ? What if I don't find the right friends ? " . There were so many questions running in her mind , and as her mother I had to help her understand this , so this is what I told her " vanshika in every stage of life we meet different people some become our friends some just remain aquaintaince . Some are there for short time some for long but each one is special in our lives . " Then she told me "but mom you have seema maasee Sameera aunty who have been ur friends for so many years how come they still in your life ". I told her not to worry she will find new friends and meeting new friends doesn't mean we lose our old  friends  ,the ones who are close to ur heart will always be in your life . After having a chat with her she felt better and relaxed . 

          But after this talk with my daughter I started thinking about all my friends who I  met in different stages of my life and each one played such a beautiful role in my life ,they are few friends but they are the best . My school friends who were so wonderful with me in school and some of them I still am in touch with . And in my teens I meet Sameera shaheen and seema all 3 were the bestest friends I can ever ask . Seema who I share everything ,after so many years she is become such  a important part of my life . I grew up with her she was with me for more than half my life always standing by me . We know each other so well. She has always been my best friend . 

        Then as I grew older I meet few more friends deepa ,Rama ,ameeta , who I grew older with . But today I want to talk about my 5 friends I met coz of a passion we all had ,which was running . Sometimes I feel running must have just been a reason for us to meet ,somewhere we were destined to meet . Let me tell you about my 5 friends . 

          Let's start with Jenny . She is the most sweetest and should I say the quietest among all of us  . She is always praying for all of us , infact we all believe her prayers work . And we enjoy troubling her ,she cooks amazing food for us . She quietly listens to all our talks and maybe once in a while make small funny comments too , she is always smiling . 

       Then comes Geeta , I love this woman , she truely is a motivational person , so full of life , Geeta is an all rounder . Full of energy  and always on the go ,how good she is at handling her office that efficient she is at taking care of her house and an amazing mom to her kids ,they share such a beautiful rapport . Geeta can make anyone talk and laugh . She is truely an amazing person. 

      Then comes my favourite Nitin  . The god father of our group . He is a hard core Al Pacino fan , and we call him our very own  desi al Pacino . Any outsider who met him will think he is reserved and a very quiet person ,but people don't go by his looks he is one brat ,full of mischief . But a sweet person and my favourite . 

     Then Sushma ,we both have the same name ,but Sushma I rarely call her my friend I always treat her like my little sister ,I am very protective about her . We have a different chemistry . So no words ,we both know what she means to me .

     Then comes  the baby of our group dhiraj , youngest and handsome and full of energy always laughing always jumping around , his energy brings so much energy to our group .he is the fresh breath of air innocent and loving and I love fighting with him the most . He loves going for trek quite an adventurous person . 

     And then it's me , well according to me I am perfect. But I am sure my friends will say otherwise ,so let's not talk abt me . 

      Each one of us are so different each have different views ,different life style, different thought process , but when we are together we have this amazing bond a chemistry that I don't know if any words can describe . But let me try the impossible . Well when we are together we are like  these crazy people ,who don't care about the world around us . We are sometimes like teenagers giggling at silly things , we can giggle and laugh at anything and everything . Then sometimes we are like adults who can discuss serious things without hesitation , each one have their own views and each one makes sure they are heard loud and clear , some times we can be such jokers that people around us have a good laugh and we love to see people around us happy . There are times when we argue or fight and next minute we are like inseparable and nothing can separate us . When we are together we forget the world around us everything around us looks so perfect . Life looks so perfect . We love every minute that we spend together ,for that is the time when we are like kids , always laughing ,always playing some pranks , always challenging each other , always dancing without caring what the world thinks about us . Always standing up for each other and protecting each other . Always listening to each other's problems and helping to solve it or sometimes by just listening we helping each other . It's a lively relationship and a lovely relationship , for in this relationship we are not judgemental nor we have any expectations from each other , we accept each other exactly the way we are ,with our perfection or imperfection ,without expecting to bring  any change in each other ,for we choose each other exactly the way we are . And honestly you cannot change perfection . I feel lucky that I have the privilege to be a part of this crazy ,amazingly blissfull friends circle . Touchwood.....

        I hope my little girl too finds her Jenny ,Geeta , Nitin  Sushma and Dhiraj , like I found mine ..........
