For friends, we were!
I wonder what has come over to me at this hour-at 3′O clock in the night. Yes, I knew I had a few things to clear off, to make sure that I gave my best shot but would I get so desperate at such an hour, I never knew.
It is amazing how a person educated enough feels for loss of words at such moments. I didn’t know what to write and ask me what all I din’t want to write.
I’ve finally messaged her!
Her-who have been a friend of mine since eight years. Her whose name isn’t important but I know that the nickname given by me became her identity and everyone closely associated with her related with.
Exactly how much time have we not talked-Funny! I never reflected on this till this hour. My gaze always turned towards her in college, among thousand faces it was easy to tell hers, among the laughter and chatter, her voice always caught my attention. I could easily make out when I used to see her- if she was sad or something wasn’t right! How I contained myself when I knew she had a moist eye—the question is why! More then one year has gone by and not even one word did we exchange even when we both (I guess!) followed each others lives through words of her friends and my acquaintances.
To describe her is one of the easiest tasks one can set me with! She is all that I am not and I can’t be! Child like, funny and experimental. She always hobbed on food like she hadn’t tasted it since some years and her fashion sense was extravagant and glamored. But not on one occasion had I ever found her uncomfy, even after me telling her that she was looking outta place.
The most “immature” person I could ever come across. Quite a girl, she loved tones of pink. I remember a rainy day when my ex’s cousin offered to drop us home. She was the first one to be dropped as her home was the nearest, leaving the three of us. Quite close to my place, the guy remarked-how amusing! She alone was equivalent to three people and make them sit quiet. She could talk the whole day. We’d cried, laughed together, sung songs like drunk people, danced in the most idiotic ways, shared hell lotta secrets, spent nights awake as she carried on with her chatter and I listened to her patiently reflecting in between over the pale moon’s beauty—
MESSAGE NOT DELIVERED —- RETRY SENDING?
Is that what you call destiny?
nicely written..and yeah it happens ..the story i am sure many people would be able to relate to
@ nefarious
I hope that naught for one!
NICE!
i like the way you put her across to me… and the wya you talk abt her… she is so real in that 2 mins i took read it
and then the msg never did go .. uff :-/
@ Veens…
It didnt! I dunno if I’ll ever feel that courageous to ignore my flaws and go at it again…
Very very well written..!!.
I just don’t want something like this to ever happen to me…
@ sach…
even i don’t want anythin like that to happen to nyone…
Almighty bless ya!
I so hope u get courageous again!!!
too many times we ponder, deliberate, analyze…just do it. it will definitely b 4 d better.
@ Numb…
Amen!
I think it happens to most of us.. I deliberately broke many chords and whenever I am courageous enough to mend some broken links.. something like this pops ups.. somehow even after reconnecting I feel an emptiness as if it isnt the same … I sincerely wish that doesnt happen to you when you are courageous again ..
wt do girl…life is such only…sumtime even whn u try hard enough, thrs no response… thts even worse
btw…luv ur pic
@ Aria…
and I fear that the most…I am not sure if I would be take it along if it wudn’t be the same…i hate that feeling!
@ Div…
hmm! thnku!
No thats not destiny….thats bad mobile service…sms…mails make things easy…all u need is lil more courage..to make that call!
Just do it!

Are we talkin about her? U know my cuz connection thingy?
hmmm … that isn't destiny for sure …. just go ahead & call her up without any further deliberation …
and i m sure it shouldn't be a problem for friends of 8 yrs to forget the present & just get back to good old days ….
all the best !!!
@ Prakhar..
@Mez…
yes! about her!
@Hiren…
ill try! ill try!
Hey!
haven’t been round here..sorry..
first things first..i like yr blog title and URL..
and the write up..ahh..heart tuggin..as always.
and yeah..thats whts called ‘destiny’.
@ Crystal…
thnx hun!
and well destiny, I got d same call smhow!
well penned..
if fiction, well narrated..!!
Beautifully written
I dont think this is fiction.
@ Vinz…
tnx!
@ MV..
thnx! n u r right!
well well my best friend and i havent spoken since he told me not to contact him ever again without any reason two years back. since then he has been married, been in and out of rehab few times and what not.
What can I do? Nothing. Ill do whatever he wants because he is my best friend. still is. and will always be.
@ Che…
I feel d same for her, but no wonders I do miss her…
No.. that is not what is called destiny. That is called a hurdle. The number u have may not be functional. Surely there must be other ways to contact her.
Hey.. u moved from the old blog.. people trouble?
just like me mm?
Destiny well.. May be..
Change is always good.. liked the new space
Gave you an award..do check it
@ Shruti…
naah, space suffocation!!
@ Amrit..
@ Crystal…
yayyy! m coming!
new beginning!?!
I think its called drifting apart .. its not intentional.. but we get so bsy with our own lives that the only way u can keep urself updated is through mutual friends.. after some time the distance grows so big that it becomes awkward to even try to contact him/her directly.. has happened with me ..
and I wish I could start over again with them.. but life moves on .. and so do we..
but yeah I realise what you must be going through .. all that effort .. that one message and … it failed ..
it happens Sinner. I had a friend whom I called my ‘best friend’ during my Uni years…she even knew my family very well and I knew her’s too. We visited each others’ homes as if we were cousins.
Now…she hasn’t talked to me in 2 yrs. Even tho I hv tried many times.
Why? Cos she changed her religion to Jehovahs’ Witnesses and dun wanna know me!
yes I live with that.
Keshi.
Like u asked, it may be Destiny..cos I believe wuts meant to happen will happen.
Keshi.
ladki, fone mai retry option kisi reason se diya hota hai ki nai???
jaldi se bhejo…you can type it out hjere and cant send one simple message…dont be a hypocrite now…
get going…come on…
someone has to initiate yaar…
i could so well locate my feelings in this post… very well written.. sometimes relationships become like the winter sun… warm outside, but a very chilly cold within.. am goign thru such a phase.. thanks for the post!:)

@Devil…
i know… but seriously after living one year in exile (when it comes to her) and some 3-4 when it comes to others, I don’t seem to reconnect with anyone…
@ surya…
eh take care man… we burn our feet even when its too cold…
@Rajesh…
thnx for droppin by d..
I wud venture into ur space soon
wow
u reminded me of so many lost frends
that happens to the best of us! the difference is when you take the effort to make things better. and that’s prolly bad luck… try again
try changing the path, maybe it will happen as you like, as you want. if not, just give it more time. it will happen. destiny is just a destination right…
you write so well, so in flow. not a moment stuck and not a moment in doubt.
and you have the best best best music on ur page.
All good things come to an end.
sometimes destiny jus tests us…our capacity, capability, belief in things we ought to…hope u did send it again!!1
Wonderful!
happy you are active..
This post has potentials to go beyond what it actually communicate in a single dimension…
I read it differently..I forget about any real friend..I just read as if it was you yourself…
very nice…
liked it..
MIP
Well in the post i ud relate to but still not get the bond clear enuf btwn u and Neha. Sadly the msg didnt go either. Anyways its conscience which strikes u sometimes at the oddest of hours and put a strand of strength in you to do the impossible. M sure it’l happen again this time for gud….
first time here, it was really nice to read your post…i felt close to it, sometimes i m still wondering, what if something would have been different? what if i said or acted differently? Will i still be friend with her? Who knows? It s hard sometimes to get over it, but we still have to keep moving forward….I met a girl I lost contact with for 8 years, I had some news through common friends, when i met her again it was different, did not have the same bond… things happened! Is based on ur story?
did u try to resend it? Pls Pls say , yes I did n the msg reached the person it was supposed to!
aww tnxx hun!
Keshi.
murphy did it again!:(
it didnt go
well, do pick up the courage again, and do it again..
a girl like that is bound to respond- she seems too full of life to keep away..
beautifully written!
@ Gunj…
@Divya
quite right!
@ Ghosty…
maybe! and hey thnx…
@ solitaire…
I may not repeat that!
@Mayz…
naah, I didnt
@ MIP…
well, u have a diff perspective
@Matangi..
thnx
@chugg
****but still not get the bond clear enuf btwn u and Neha

@Cess

@ Pavi..

@ Keshi…
@Jane…
yesh, she is sooo full of life! I may smday!
Hi there..
Hmm..I have one such friend in the exact same spot…though we still talk once in a while…Its not what it used to be…
Though your post also reminds me…I have to make some calls..
In fact I have been trying to find the courage to do that for last 3-4 days..no success yet..but I’ll call ‘em..thats for sure..within this week…
As for you..keep re-sending…Overpowering destiny is not THAT hard…
First time on your blog..loved it..rolling you..
Hey Zubin…
well, I can understand really…
thnks, hope u get d courage too and me as well!
talking helps, talk to her
it may be difficult but then you have to choose one between your comfort and how much you value that friendship…
