F.R.I.E.N.D.S

A little bothered me since two days, not sure why, about my recent past, I mean my past 1yr or so life at Hyd with these 2 Ss! Friends I have ever met in this very very mean and competitive corporate world. The best of their kinds!
That 1 year was just a total bliss in this life. Enjoyment more and more day by day. There is no one place that I can list in Hyd that we have not visited and each place has its own special memories. This kind, probably everyone out there would want to go through, atleast for a fraction of months in their lifetime. Our day begins so late in the morning and goes on really late in the nights. Frankly, a lot of people were so envious of us and the kind of friends we are, through the thick and thin. There is no difference that we saw amongst us. There is no one thing that bothered any of us during those times. Laughter, laughter and laughter - that filled our life and it was so blissful! I don't remember there was one time when we let one of the three cry, rather cry alone. The amazing plans that we used to make every evening, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, icecreams. the colorful weekends, and the times we used to simply wait for those lazy Saturdays and then we sit for a late evening lunch with the biriyani from Hyderabad house. And then there is this one warm bear hug from the big S ;) that encloses the other 2 of us and the indescribable happiness that encloses the 3 of us. That crazy thing when we used to put on music in S's 10x10 room doing some electrical work to connect those old speakers ;) and then it was all heaven. Do not know what got us so close. Not sure why we did not have a second thought to fill our life with just the 3 of us. No selfishness, no variations. Movies list was endless! The times we used to run at 2.20 for a 2.25 show; the night shows after which I used to get dropped in my PG, the locked gate and my shrill voice 'watchman watchman', the phone call I make after I enter the house and that's their go-ahead to leave from there. Conference chats in the office communicator where we tease and rip the whole lot of those nutty heads at office amidst the hectic work. The way they used to be behind me to make friends with some new girl in the team. Those long drives in the night, we talk about the most useless issues in the world and then end up drawing stupid conclusions. The way I was teased for being girlie at times and how they used to fulfill those girlie wishes like visiting Shilparamam for a mehendi with no other go. The times we used to sit in the pantry, talk and laugh like nuts that the whole office could hear us. 'Never-mind-everything-is-ours' attitude. And then the way we planned the birthday surprises. How I loved to see Sud saying that it was the first time he had put cake on his face in life on his birthday! And how I wish I can be lucky time and ever to give you that. Anything that we did was right, there were no restrictions. One of us do something, there are these 2 other heads to nod. No one time you are allowed to feel low. When we are away during vacations, that was only a break we used to take and we just used to get back and be the 3 of us. I'm realizing all these simple things now, when they have actually become memories. Times that went by was so light, mind used to think so serious of anything. The number of times we had visited the airport must be countless, regardless of the local/international trips that any of us made! And the tough time we used to have with KL-11 still admire it for living through the tortures I used to give it. I was pampered, loved, admired, scolded, irritated, all at once like never before/after! I do not know how was I ready to miss that side of life. I'm sure there is nothing like it again anytime. I need them all back. I need my Friends back. I yearn to live with and feel the selflessness yet again. Probably, the first time I'm missing a friendship this worse. I dont remember a time before in life when I have missed friends so much. Gone by times and all that I'm left with now - memories! We will live that way all through our lives, I'm sure.
And here, for you the reader, from the 3 of us, I'm wishing you that you feel such a friendship atleast once in your lifetime. And may the mix of emotions that leaves my throat constricted now fills you someday that you realize what real happiness is!
