A friend is...

Enjoy the Holi pics! As you can see it was fun and I'm hoping you all had an enjoyable time. Don't we look a mess?! *grin*

The weather's changing too. Days are getting warmer and its time again to put away warm clothes and get out summer clothes. I've been busy settling the house before mum & dad get here on monday next.

That doesn' leave me with much time to be here and get around. I do spend some of my time checking mails and chatting with friends. And ofcourse check orkut...It's amazing how many friends I have got back in touch with! All thanks to orkut! :-)

Though what really was a nice surprise was getting a mail from a friend who found me through my blog! :-) And that was one friend I would often look for... doing a google search but never found him....till one day his mail popped up in my mailbox!

I'm not very good at keeping in touch...I'll write to friends out of the blue....longg mails and then get caught up with my life here and not write for months! Sometimes I don't call for ages....and then suddenly I just make a call and talk away. That's the thing I love about good friends, you can pick up things from where you left off without feeling awkward.

I read this today..."Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends."

And I think those of us who have such friends in our lives are blessed. Friends don't make demands, don't have unreal expectations... I know everything is give and take but nothings forced in a friendship. You give coz it makes you happy...sometimes happy just seeing your friend happy and you take because what you're getting is so priceless :-)...

My fav friendship quote is "Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts." Isn't that how it is with a your good friends too? I know it is with mine...

And I love the way a good friend just knows what's on my mind without me having to spell it out? "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words..."

I started writing this post with some other things in mind...but drifted into this topic...can't seem to recall what I set out to write about now...*sigh*

Ps: The song playing is one I found on youtube called "What's forever for"...nice lyrics....hear it and you'll find yourself agreeing with every word!

"I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds

Or maybe it's me who's gone crazy
But I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for

I've been listening to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe

And I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even trying to keep it alive

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for

And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for"
