....of friendships

i have not been very punctual in the last few day owing to the awful internet connection in the hostel...nonetheless...this one post i have always wanted to write...its coming late but here is goes....
legend has it that in 1935, the American government had killed a person on the first saturday of August and the next day his friend died committing suicide. in his memory, the American government declared the first sunday of every August as friendship day....though i dont have any clue about such a declaration or whatsoever.but the fact is the entire hullabaloo surrounding this day,and for that matter any hyped day....freindship is not merely hugging at every meeting or proclaiming to the world how much the other one means to you....it simply is being there for each other.giving your freind her favourite chocolate when she is really low....doing some silly little thing that would bring a smile on her face..pressing her hand in reassurance...

friendship is trust..more than anything else..a blind conviction that no matter from whatever height you fall,you have someone hold to hold you back.with a few genuine freinds beside you,life gets easier as you are there for each other in failures and successes..in crests and troughs..in silly adventures and mindless gossips...in happiness and sadness!

for all my friends who have laughed with me and cried for me....
