This morning I came across something soul stirring. Something which I strongly feel for. A whatsapp message from a very close person. The message had a question. An unanswerable inevitable question.

Why do we celebrate friendship’s day ?

Not a difficult one, right. Nah! Not that easy either. This question is linked with my entire life. A recollection of past further made the question as devious as it could get.

Celebrating without reasons is all we are doing in complete honesty. We send this three word message – HAPPY FRIENDSHIPS DAY to people we have almost even forgotten. But are we actually any better than a stranger to them ? A person who stands with you through thick and thin was the definition of a friend. And now our friendship is a text message with a senseless emoticon.

This is the truth which is always hidden in the race of social survival.  And my life unfortunately hasn’t been any different.
Was I there to help the people who needed me ? Oh hell, did I even ever ask them if they need any help ? No, Rather I was lazing my butt off on the couch, sending funny emoticons and forwards.

Wouldn’t I have reacted if I knew they needed me ? I would have, yes. But how would I even know if I never asked. And the most a friend expects is a shoulder. That’s all.

So is the feeling of love. An over hyped and an overused term. See a girl, fall in love and love her till you get to see her friend. Is this the same love we heard about in the history books. I’m not talking about all the lovers out there. But I’m talking about the people who made me loose my trust in love and call it fake.

This is what my journey has been. Coming into this world with lots of love and care, loosing it gradually and falling into a web of lies. Where the real lifelines – friendships and love have been redefined as temporary and selfish. Is this the journey of life ? Or am I going to see a new world ?

Waiting for a better tomorrow.
