The shades of friendship...

Friendships won’t remain the same forever. It will definitely change colors… from deep rose and dark green... the shades will faint until it's nothing different from white. The wise old (and bald) man of our batch had foretold. The guy had too many drinks- I had thought back then. But after college days got over, what he had said started making more and more sense. A simple phone call to the once best friends itself took a lot of planning and apprehension… How to break the long accumulated ice… What to say… And at the end of contemplating all these options, the easy way out… Will call some time later… That some time never came, and too many a friendship were put to eternal sleep under a pile of joyful memories.

All these thoughts were flashing across my mind when I made plans for meeting a childhood friend, back in town after some years. We had grown up together, but grew up to be different. Our interests got diversified, and after school, we made our own different circles of friends. We were in touch all the time, but had our own lives to live… And over two years back, I left our hometown on my first job. Soon after, she too left the country in pursuit of higher studies… The gap widened over time… So I was again apprehensive… But I knew I didn’t want to miss it. On an impulse, I called up two of our common friends of school, and asked them to be there too…

I was pleasantly surprised… Even on short notice, all four of us did meet up. May be because we became friends at a time when we still did not get the meaning of the phrase, taking for granted… And we had a whale of a time. What with years of gossips started gushing out… Who is with who… Who was he/ she supposed to be with… Who got married/ divorced… Who gained head-weight… Who gained weight on other parts of the body J...It kept on coming… Finally, after a late lunch, we parted, with a promise to meet over the next weekend…

And this is what I understood… As time passes by, turning over leaf after leaf of our lives… we do change… our lives change… our ideologies change… But the old fondness and the memories remain… And they become cornerstones for true friendships that stand the test of time…
