It was lunch break..I was in our lecture class..15 minutes of free time left before the next hour..My classmates were gradually filling the class room and slowly the silence was being eaten up as they made fun of each other,laughed out loud,sang songs,played songs on mobiles,discussed,debated ,frowned etc..etc...But i could still find some "intelligentia" people with head buried in their books..Their notebooks and pen were ready on the desk as if to welcome the next hour professor..and some people were resting comfortably their head on desk,maybe listening to songs through mobile ear piece...away in their own world..Usually i belong to the latter group but not that day...That day i didnt feel like listening to songs...Sometimes i like to sit alone doing nothing..absolutely nothing..not even like to think of anything too...well, thats strange ryt..
And that was when Shwetha came .".Oh..hello..u dreaming..??" she said in her usual cheerful tone as she unloaded her bag and sat near me.."no,im not ...well,wats there to dream about anyway??" i retorted...
"i want u to answer a question " shwetha said.".okay ,go ahead"..i smiled..She turned a bit serious and then asked "whats the defenition of a best friend?
I dint really expect that question...i simply said..."there is no defenition for a best friend"
i recollected a quote..Some things are never questioned,some questions never have answers,some dreams are buried alive and we call it life..."u mad poetess"..she banged a book on my head and laughed..It was exactly at this point a serious looking professor entered the class room and silence fell evrywhere
i was thinking about my friends...sometimes i feel so thankful to God because wherever i go he gifts me with the most sweetest,loveliest friends..i like to keep a good friendship circle and really love to maintain a few close friends..From K.G to college i have this group of stunning people who love me,care for me,surprise me often with extra ordinary gifts,make fun of me ,celebrate my bday in the most splendid way,encourage me to do things in my own way,inspires me with their good deeds,make me feel special ,admires my poems even when im pretty sure most of these crazy people will run away if they happen to come across poetry!!When i feel sad about something they come up with a hundred ways to make me smile that finally i end up laughing..Most of them are far away,and when we miss each other our thoughts come flying as letters..those awesome pieces of paper carry with it a world of emotions,thoughts,tonnes of fun and barrels of love...I do miss my old friends,but we r happy because we know true friendships can never be broken..and it stands the test of time..After all meeting and parting is the way of life!
And about my new friends in college,they are amazing..There are a few friends whom i wish i could have met earlier..some great talented friends including writers,some sweet innocent dolls,some jovial energetic,fun loving pals,some intelligent yet simple and kindhearted souls and last but not the least..."u listening there??" i was interrupted by shwetha;she poked me with a pen..I returned from my thoughts..the professor was still there...She had drawn a big eye on the board and i felt that eye was staring at me."So as i said the physiology of tear formation is not as simple as you think"..she said in her serious tone.so the subject was ophthalmology. May be she has been teaching us how tears are formed.oh.i missed it..but i know why tears are formed in eyes...and that too is important ryt?
"Hey..u want to really know the defenition of a best friend?".i asked when i held shwethas' hands while we were walking back from college...No,i dont ..she smiled...i realise it cant be defined but then i now know it can be found...
So thats it..back to my thoughts..last but not the least there is someone beyond defenition or descriptions..someone you will always remember and hold close to ur heart,no matter how many years will elapse by and how busy you will be in future with ur hus and kids,someone who can make you happy by doing nothing,someone who simply stands by you when even the world walks away..ur soul -mate..yes..ur best friend...she is my world..well,words cant really define how special she is to me..But still the most splendid quality i see in her is her kind -hearted nature.,helping the poor and the weak,.she thinks logically,she reasons out things,she is always cheerful,optimistic,intelligent,God fearing,..yet a very jovial person who spreads out radiance wherever she goes..And above all she loves me for all my good and bad qualities..i feel .. some of the most beautiful moments of my life are that which we have together spent..maybe pages are required to write about her..but i stop here...
What r u thinking about? shwetha looked at me with suspicion..i thought i will write about my best friend in my next blog.."oh..thats very sweet"..i noticed a twinkle in her eyes.."But how can u say that is sweet..u dnt even know her.".i simply wanted to irritate her..oh..her face fell.."i thought u were going to write about..well,leave it...nothing.."i smiled to myself..but then she wanted to know.."who is she? well,u havnt told me about her.." its a surprise..well,read my blog to find out..i said in a matter of fact tone..
She looked at me a bit seriously and then said..i know who it is..Then she laughed ..yes we laughed the whole way...Best friends are not only awesome ;they are equally mad too...really really crazy..!!!
