"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
- Henri Nouwen
..because we had every reason to not be friends.. but if we wouldn't have been friends, i would have probably never been the same..
it's not really about helping me discover any newer worlds.. but helping me understand the one i live in slightly better..
the unending talks, the crazy jokes, the wacky giggles and the laughter riots.. i can't remember any one time in particular.. but when i close my eyes, the joy of it all just comes back to me..
when you have so many beautiful memories with someone, you don't miss any particular moment, you miss being together.. '
how one conversation led to another.. and how this became a way of life.. i cannot recollect.. but i just want to thank you for that one time when we were on the verge of losing everything but we let our friendship hold us back.. :)
..
it's not about helping me discover any new worlds, but the charm of a world of our own..

serisouly dere wouldnt have been a better way to put it... and thanks for writing it up... i mean... i am glad we are friends... and i miss those immensely long convos which no doubt at one time had become a way of life.
Wow! Seriously. I don't think anyone could've possibly said "Happy B'day" in a more beautiful way. Lucky ass Rohit!
after not being able to remember his bday ever.. and wishing him belated happy birthday on his birthday last year, this was just outta the excitement of being able to remember it this time [remember it correctly*!]:D :D
"remember it" rite!!!! u were still confused man... only if i would have said "yesterday" instead of "tomorrow"....
arre, you ought to be appreciative of my efforts!!! :D
lol... srry.... obviously i am appreciative.
not like i leave you with an option!
"it's not about helping me discover any new worlds, but the charm of a world of our own"
that is a wonderful way to put it :) ..I've replied your comment on my blog.

a lil twist..
what if u give in to all the reasons,
allow all the paths to be re-laid out.
accept ut fate.
and live in the misery.
forever.
each time.
with every friend.
and ur insides are wounded like ugly tattoos that u regret for every day that shall come..
u let yourself be the canvas of these evil plotting tattoo-artists...
where is the 'U' that cried, whined, longed.. or had a sample of any palpable emotion. . is lost?
ur stone.
what one freindship lost could do to u.
mine is of several.
the harder darker path seems easier..
the pain seems more familiar.
maybe that was a bit uncalled for.
a random impassioned post.
doubt ud remember me..
either ways.. pass it by.
im glad people arent as stupid with their choices these days as i imagine them to be.
sometimes you have these choices against which no reason stands any chance.. and you have to decide whats harder to give away..
i decided not to give away..
yes, twas a harder way.. but life rescues you sometimes, and sometimes you are just made into a stone..
either way, it ceases to hurt..
and the pinchin pain sembles to a choice made..an unescapable fate..
how sometimes we wish to change our lives,
but we are a blank canvas and the stains of fate will take some while to fade away..
they will someday, i believe :)
and in that hope.. cheers for every moment lived in the spirit of friendship and love..!
ahh its been long.. and i won't be lying if i'd say, i was waiting.. not for a comment though-for a post.. would love to hear your words.. they have this strikin resemblance to my life.. a very weird comfort indeed.. :)
