The Gift of a Friend

     This is going to be just my second post here..and I really can't imagine what to write :(
So lets see together what this is going to turn out to be..my earnest apologies readers,I'm sure you wouldn't have quite come across someone who has already started writing and doesn't really know what she wants to write..I know..Thats A laugh!! But hey,these are random musings as the name of my blog suggests,so I'm free to write whatever I feel like,don't you think? And let me render an apology to all who read this for imposing a No-topic post on you...
     When I was younger(not that I've grown too old now,I'm only twenty-one),like when I was at school, at twelve years of age,something really wonderful happened.I wasn't really expecting it at all.In fact though I saw many of my classmates indulge in the pure pleasure of it,I never really thought I'd be blessed with the marvellous experience of it..and not certainly that it would last a lifetime.But now,I'm positive that it's going to go on till my last breath..And now I suddenly realise that I haven't told u what I'm trying to explain here. No wonder you think this is not going anywhere..hehehe..I'm talking about that one relation in the world without which you can never experience the joy of sharing.It's the God graced relation of Friendship. It's perhaps the most beautiful of all relationships,the depth of which cannot be explained or measured. Sure,your family is important,and I myself can't imagine my life without my family,I'd be absolutely lost without my mum,dad and my li'l brother.I can't imagine existing without my aunts .uncles,my lovely cousins and my other extended family.But the beauty of Friendship is that you can choose your friends.You can never choose your family members,but you can choose your friends and that's why friends are the family you choose.
      So when I met my to be best friend ,Veena Marathe,at that young age,it was just with childish innocence that we clicked.But as time passed I began to realise that this was intended to grow further.We didn't really make an effort to gel but the fact was that we got along like a house on fire. I began to cherish the every second that I spent with her! I found myself looking forward to getting to school every morning. this really left my mother amused coz I could'nt quite hide my excitement every morning.I'd even brush and shower feverishly so that I could just walk out of the house soon!!
        Our relation grew so much that we would spend hours on the phone everyday! Weekends were the worst because we didn't get to meet! We stay pretty far..so we could'nt meet whenever we wanted to. Needless to say, we share a whole lotta common interests so it was just lovely to be together! We never got bored..both of us love books so we would spend hours dicussing every aspect of a particular book we had just read.Actually,we owe a lot to Harry Potter ! It was he who nurtured our friendship in the truest sense!  We idolise JK Rowling,the author of the series! As time went on,we graduated and went on to attend university college.We chose different professions but that just made our resolve to maintain our friendship stronger.For me,it was because I knew that letting it pass would be the worst mistake of my life,coz I know I'm never going to find someone like her.She's too good..She knows me so well and I really can't imagine my life without having her to share it with.. I just have to think of her everytime I'm low and I instantly cheer up! It's like some kinda drug!
          I really believe that its Providence who has gifted me this friendship..I'm so grateful to Him for Vee..And I absolutely love her..I just wanna thank her for all the beautiful moments she has given me...And I believe that I'm one of the lucky ones to have found true friendship.
          
                                                                                    cheers to Friendship!!
