Friendship

Friendship is something we hold very close to our hearts. I believe TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. I have never had a problem with trusting any of my friends. the very fact that they are my friends, is bcoz I trust them. And i trust them blindly - would go out of my way to help them at times. Whatever I do for my friends, I have always received much more in return from them....in terms of love, affection, concern, etc. I know that if I ever have any problem, they would be there for me.

But only now i have realized that looks can be deceptive. I knew that before too, but never realized that people can hold pretensions for a long time! I used to think that people could not pretend to be different for a long time. Sooner or later, their true form emerges. But I was wrong. I have realized and have paid the cost for trusting people blindly. People are not what they appear to be. Some of their lives are too complicated for even themselves to sort out. I have been hurt and swore to guard myself against such hurt in the future. But at times, when I reflect on what happened, I feel I should sympathize with my so-called-friend. Maybe there was a reason why they behaved the way they did. But I have some rigid principles in my life. And I can’t take anyone not following these basic principles. I actually forgive people easily……because of the simple reason that I tend to forget very easily! But when he principles are tampered with……I can’t forgive….nor can I forget. So life goes on……as time stops for no one……and I move on too…..with one friend less…..but maybe its for the better……many more friends to make in the new year J

I have noticed...the past never leaves you completely. It always has the knack of showing up at the all the wrong times and the most unexpected times. But highly adaptive that we are, we easily digest it and make place for the past in our present. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse............come to think of it.....who can ever leave the past completely???

ZZZZzzzzzzzz

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep........

And this is for you Sinha :)

Finally, the day is drawing close....the day we have been waiting for so eagerly! And a day that I didn't want to miss for anything in the entire world!!! But.......I am going to miss it, and I know what a loss it is for me. Seeing you all dressed , the most beautiful bride, smiling, happy....how i wish i could make it for your wedding.

i had sworn, i would definetly be there by your side, but i would not. I wished to be a part of ur pre-marriage anxieties, fears, apprehensions, light moments. I had wished to share all these moments with you, like we had shared everything till now.

We have been such an inseparable part of our lives for the past few years....and when the most important moment is drawing near, we would be miles apart....but i would be there with you...in your thougts.

Just wanted you to know.....how ever far we go, however busy we get in our lives (and with our husbands!)......nothing changes between us...we may not be there in person, we would just be a call away :)

I love you sweetie pie and wish you all the happiness in this entire universe (and even more!)....have treasured you like my child many times....and I am still apprehensive handing you over to Mr.Right....but I trust your decision...even though I haven't met him yet....he better take great care of you.....you can let him know he is answerable to me if anything goes wrong with you :)

Wedding Bells!!!

As the date nears.....anxiety is building up.....how would the wedding go? how will i look on THE day? will it rain again? will everything go as planned?..........questions and more questions!! Never realised a wedding would be so filled with tension and emotions. Attending other's weddings was simple enough! But when it comes to my wedding.......i m getting cold feet.

What is it that is actaully bothering me? I keep asking myself that.........my fiancee is a nice guy....I have no problems with him....so he is not the issue. My in-laws are great....so no issue there too....my brothers are finally making it to the wedding....all my close friends would be there too.....all arrangements have been made.....then what is my tension all about??? I guess, the pressure that this is a once in a lifetime occasion......that is has to be perfect.....I have to be my best that day....this is what is worrying me :)

Three more days at work, then will start the wedding hulchul.....guests arriving....beauty parlour visits...mehendi...ooofff!!!! Just thinking of the days to come is giving me the jitters!!! But I must admit.....this is fun!! Everything around is being done for you....people pampering you.....taking extra care of you...all the attention...you actually start enjoying it! So I guess, its better I just sit back and begin enjoying this whole process.....all the memories of these days.....bcoz, after all, its a once in a lifetime occasion!

How I ended up there.....

Just came over to give you company...........since you were there...........i decided to join too :)

And share our thoughts in this space.............i m starting to get a feeling that this is going to be fun :)

I hope even I can keep upto making daily entires into this.......hope your entries keep inspiring me enough to do it :))
