Happy friendship day

This one is dedicated to all those friends who’ve shared my joys and sorrows, shared theirs with me, made my life memorable in their own ways. I’ve parted ways with some friends, but a few dear ones have lasted so far and hope it lasts for life. Thanks for being there, here and everywhere with me, when I needed you guys the most and this is my way to let you know how special you guys are, you rock!
I’ve made friends with people all my life, most from very young age at school, college and a few at work. I guess it’s a formula or a rule, the older u grow, lesser friends you make, farther you go from the ones you are friends with already. But a few have lasted and stood the test of time and I’m sure will last for life.
As a kid growing up in Bangarpet, I’ve made many friends, given that I changed 3 schools till my 10th grade, gave me a chance to meet new people, know them and make friends with. Of all these, buddies from my high school were and will always be very special. We were just breaking out of the shackles of innocent childhood and beginning to learn the way of teenage, all those things we tried, succeeded, failed in made our bond stronger and better.
Then in ’99 I moved to Bengaluru, a new beginning in a totally alien world for a boy from a small town, I missed my pals from Bangarpet very dearly, but life had to move on. The friends I made here were very hard earned and are the most treasured, they’ve helped me learn n grow in life and contributed in their own ways and I owe to them a lot for they’ve been the greatest influence in what I am today.
In ’01, I went to Tumkur, to study Engg and each of the 4 years I spent there was a new twist in life, at the end of it was a graduate who’d successfully passed a lot more than exams and failed miserably in a few important stages of life, at last they all were lessons learnt, cherished, regretted and I happily take them in my stride.
After four years of college, it was time to enter professional life and this has been a great learning curve so far, both professionally and personally and I really thank the ones who’ve made this boring line of work very enjoyable most of the times and bearable at the worst.
All my dear friends, each and every one of you, I love you a lot, you all have been very special and I treasure all those memorable times that we’ve spent together. Wish you all a very happy friendship day!
