Friends..

One of those days...

One of those days, when nothing seems to go your way… you get up with a rick in your neck, ulcers in your mouth, ………seems like even the sun woke up at the wrong time… n then you recall the thorny, important chores scheduled for the day, the meetings that can’t be ignored, the things that got to be done…..

And then … after your inevitable morning routine, the day kicks off … smelly socks, sore throat, stiff neck, ruptured oral cavity and hotttttt sun…. your bike, the only gud thing that runs, runs out of fuel….. added to the adventurers journey of the day…. you forget to carry the important papers that form a matter of discussion with your client, and all the calls you receive for the day form the matter of disgust,…..grrrRRR “smash the phone”.... nothing seems to go right …..................aaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHAAAA……............. feels like fleeing to Africa……

As the “SOUL” of the day is set …. even a scope of delicious icecream wudn’t save you …..the clock takes it own sweet time to tick as you go bout questioning your existence on the planet….. and virtually doing nothing other than pulling your hair!!!!

One of those days ……. When nothings goes your way……… untill the sun sets ---at the right time……….. AND THEN……… a couple of calls gives way for a brush with your buddypals….. you kiss the phone, suddenly has bcome the best thing in your life, …..your bike rips, as a tiger thats found its prey…… and your “Soul’, ---enlightened as that of a monk on top of a mountain….. FINALLY you meet the "gang", 'your own', 'pieces of you'….. …….. your struggles for the day seems ages, pain past, and the evening looks as if it shudn’t end……. and WHAT A TRANSFORMATION…….jus over a cup of coffee, lotz of senseless words, PJ’s, few moments of silence, and loads of laughter over nothing…… suddenly the whole meaning of life is defined, and Africa seems to have become a distant place….

“Friendship”, …. hats off to the men who coined the word for this relationship, one of the finest motives for us to lead our lives, the most treasured possession which money can't buy….. “Friendship”…. probably tops the list of the best things in life …… jus like………….hot cup of chocolate on a rainy day,… long silent drive on an open highway,… the lush green leaves and colorful flora one the primitive days of spring,… a beautiful smile of an innocent child, ….the wagging tail of your pet,…. sun going down the beach,…. snowfilled mountains ……and ofcourse Africa….. the list cud go on ………

At times like these, when you look bac, and see as to how fortunate you are to have a bunch of grt guyz …… whom you are proud to call them your friends…… with whom you can share the thoughts which your own mind hasn’t heard off….. whom, you can always count on no matter what ……who are 'there for you' regardless the time, distance,place……. with whom your ego seems to have lost its form and feels non-existent….. with whom you can see parts of your own, which the mirror couldn’t …… with whom you are YOU…..

My Thanks, to one of the finest intangible, invaluable creation of life……..

By the way, the sun did wakeup at the right time …… on one of those days....
