"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
--C.S.Lewis
Yes, these three wonderful persons add value to my survival, every day, every hour. We four share a kind of bond that's unlike every other relationship. We four- me, Priyanka, Shatarupa and Susmita. We are friends since our school days.
Priyanka is the most beautiful person among us. She is the traditional doe-eyed beauty, beautiful, slender and petite. Yet what makes her stand out is not just her beautiful appearance, but the inner beauty that she has in her.
Shatarupa is no less beautiful. From a clumsy, small town school girl, she has now grown up to be a smart, bold and beautiful lady.
Susmita is that superwoman who knows how to balance both her professional and personal lives. She is a down-to-earth, pragmatic person.
The four of us. We know each other for such a long time that we can understand even the unsaid words of each other. A deluge of memories. We sitting in the last bench of our all-girls-high-school, one of us is sharing a secret, others listening to it wide-eyed. Priyanka being the most beautiful among us, received many love-letters, which we all read together. Then there were those endless gossips. The sharing of lunch. And with all these, the high school ended.
We enrolled in different colleges. Yet, we made it a point to be in touch with each other. Though our talks became less frequent over time. We all met again at Priyanka's wedding. Priyanka went abroad with her husband soon. We all got busy with our respective lives. Me and Susmita found jobs. With time, we all got married and had kids. Our infrequent talks over phone and social media sites continued.
Finally, there came Whatsapp in the scene. It changed the whole landscape of our friendship. We now have a whatsapp group of our own, with only four members. It makes us connect more intimately. Whenever any one of us feels low, she knows that there are three persons out there who will not judge her for any of her actions, who are ready to lend a shoulder to cry on, and who will always stand by her through thick and thin. They are not her parents, not her siblings, not her in-laws, not even her partner. They are her best friends. For every other relationship may not stand the test of time, but our friendship does. Friends are God's best creations, His best gifts to humanity. And I am truly blessed to have three wonderful friends in my life.
Today, on this occasion of Friendship Day, I want to thank each three of my sweeties for whatever they have done for me. Dearies, today I want to dedicate this song to you three and our friendship:
" Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai,yeh na ho to kya phir
bolo ye zindagi hai..."
