Who is your Best Friend???

-

 Hai everyone, 

I am back with some loose thoughts that have been recurring for a while now. So I thought of sharing it with you... here it goes ...


    Who is your best friend???.....

If someone asked me this question a few years back, I would have given them a definite answer. But today if someone asks me this same question, I would think and think and think and finally come up with a list of people who have been the best I could have at certain moments of my life.

    Just go to a kid and ask this question. You may get a name or two. These names would be of the ones who play with them, laugh with them, and make them happy every now and then. As a kid, this was the same notion that I had, but as I grew older this concept of friendship- a best friend is the one who makes you happy- struck me hard. So I rephrased it into something more convincing- a best friend is someone who would never leave your side and stay with you in all your ups and downs. This seemed the perfect definition I could find for some time. As days passed and our lives became hectic, the one thing that I realized was that your best friend may not be available for you at all times. Everybody has their own life to deal with. After all, how can you expect someone to be your pillar of strength when life is being harsh on them and they can't even stand up. Here is where you need a whole array of friends. Why friends? sometimes even strangers are more than enough. They with their naive smile and beautiful words can lift you up and can even turn out to be your ray of hope. I am not saying that the best friends you have in your life are worthless but I was just saying that you will get a chance to see the best version of all of your friends.

    I know the question that popped up in your mind is this- so what do we call them, the one person or some people in our life who are so close to our heart???. Soul Friend, I would say. As your souls are so nicely entwined, even if you can't support the other you can just be there, without even uttering a single word. That can do miracles in both of us.

    As I told you at the beginning, this is not an answer to the question in the title, rather these are some vague thoughts pouring out of a person who has been trying hard to tackle writer's block. I hope we will meet soon when something like this comes up.


See you soon😃

Dear Reader... It's been a while since I have not touched this... Do you think that it's becoming a habit? Even I doubt that at times. The last time I wrote something, I was extremely sad and was in dire need of someone... This time it's not sadness but an overwhelming feeling... Before I move to what I really intend to write, I have some silly confessions to make. Last time when I was being hard on myself for not writing anything, one of my friends came up and told me to be proud that I finally wrote something. It is still something that keeps me moving and I still have that in my heart dude.  Today seeing these letters on this white paper (screen, yeah I know) I feel elated, in bliss... ecstatic... I really don't know what I actually feel...   I'll stop the blabbering and come to the point. Shouldn't we start with a question as usual? So here it is... Do you write letters? Do you love reading letters?  Yes, or No, whatever popped into your mind has a whole lot...

 When was the last time you asked someone how they are feeling and got a genuine response????? I know what is in your mind " What the hell!!! It's just been a few minutes ago and I got a good or mediocre reply." Read the question again, when was the last time when someone who is not so close to u talked about something terrible they are going through? We all have a nature of seeing people who don't reach out to us as being too busy with their stuff or worse, 'has changed a lot and outgrown old friends'. I don't know why old friends who have been so close to you once or mere acquaintances speak to u after months and begin with the weirdest question "Have you forgotten me?"  Wow!! doesn't that seem like the best opening line?  But No. Hey people,  Didn't take another year, but did take quite a few months to transfer my thoughts to my fingers. I know you are in a dilemma with all those questions and a weird title (maybe not an expected way t...
