to friendship..

met my college friends today and much to my relief (and amusement!)..some things don't change! yes it's only been about 3 months since the entire gang met but from experience i could say that things change and people change. so i'm grateful for the lack of change at present or, to put it more accurately would be, i'm grateful for the lack of the effect that change has made to our relationship, our friendship.

when the world seemed to cave in and college seemed way to claustrophobic to handle(and just in case you didnt know,that happened a LOT, especially in third year!), these people were the reason i longed to go to college. they made me laugh and smile even at the worst of times. we probably crack the lamest jokes on the planet but they make me laugh till my stomach hurts.

individualism is often looked down upon and of course is also regarded as a threat. hence, SIX individualstic people, stuck together like glue was kinda hard to handle but we stuck, through everything. college melodrama, boyfriend fiascos, dipping levels of confidence, trouble at home... i doubt there's anything we haven't shared. we've been told time and again that a friendship like ours is hard to find at the college level, a group full of people who were extremely talented, lazy, smart, bitches, loving, bindaas, hardworking, rebels, loyal...all rolled into one. heh! :-)

my house - which is the favourite hangout - where we've shared eevrything from tearful farewells, to heart wrenching stories to "we-can't-let-this-happen" stories...and how could i forget, the ghost stories too!! we met here again today, and it was sooooooooooo lovely having them here again. sometimes i'm very monica gellar-ish and love playing the host and i miss having these guys around especially since they used to drop in every 2 days earlier! (even if it was just to sleep before a major play which we were all a part of!!)

annyway..as is very obvious...i love my memories and sometimes i get so lost in them, i often start living in retrogade. yes i know that' s crazy but i do have trouble dealing with absolute change. i am a little baby sometimes. so, i just hope that even if we don't meet for months on end or don't even get to talk, things never change. of course we're gonna grow up. i definitely need to grow up. i get stuck in a time warp too easily. but i do hope it doesn't change our equation. the 6 of us have always been vastly different from each other and like in all my other relationships, that has been the binding force..and i pray that never changes.

i want to know everything that happens in our lives..from the very best to very worst.
i want to go for every single wedding. especially nammu's!! he he! :-)
i want to see all the babies. especially reshmi's. natasha, remember we have to save them from the evil mother? ;-)
i want to see each of successful in whatever we do.
and most of all,
i want to show a certain someone( tke a guess?)..that we are friends forever irrespective..


i love you ria.
i love you rudhira.
i love you reshmi.
i love you natasha.
i love you namrata.
and,
most of all,
i love it, when all of us are together!

here's to a friendship that's got to last. at least till natasha takes us to hawaii! no namrata, plz don't bring the kids.
