Ok, first things first you all know what I am talking about right? No?? Jeez, I don't even feel like saying it but will say it : Friendship Day.
The mere mention of the supposedely perfectly common thing to say just gives me jitters. I mean I feel my whole body freezing up with yuckiness just thinking about phoning a friend and saying : "Hi... Happy Friendship Day mamma/yaar/whatever" or even in the chat. Am I normal in my thinking? How in the goddamn world does one can say that with a straight face and looking into your friends eyes? I mean this ain't a birthday to cheer him up or a festival to wish him good luck and prosperity. WTH is the day supposed to signify?
No , I don't want some damn google link that takes me to a page giving me some stupid reason and convincing me that one such day occurs on first sunday of every goddamn year. Do I really need a day to remember to phone all my friends and tell them "Hey..am still here buddy...see i phoned you.. will do the same next year...bye" ? What's the point in doing somethign that you don't really mean it? Like you know for sure you ain't gonna call him/her again in the coming fortnights for one thing, so taking this as a excuse makes it much more demeaning. If this is a means to rekindle a relationship then no thanks ... I have my own normal ways to do that.
I mean as is relationships in this world and age are detiorating as fast as bengal tigers population. At least from the people I know of IT world are all the same.Lost in touch with old pals, happy with the present colleagues, golden college days forgotten, hesitant to be the one to start off where things were left. So this artificial kindling of such things just suck.
Now coming to the actual point of the post, I got 5 sms's that day and excepting for one I haven't replied to any. And ya even in that one I never really wrote those 3 dreaded words but instead just told her how much she means to me as a friend (that was for Laxman bhai..she ain't read my blogs yet as predicted :) ). Girls...they have their own sentis you know..so...Anyways I don't know what the other 4 must be thinking but I sure do know they think I am a jerk or a high-brow or snobbish or whatever which is what really puts me off with expereincing it with just one guy...
Like Ranjit who next day when he asked about the sms, I told him "Ya, I got it around 12 in the night"....and the next thing he said pissed me off to no end... "Well..I would have said the same if I were you". Goddamn him. He thought I was trying to bloody make up an excuse??? I felt like thrwoing him off the cafetria top floor for good. Eventually I let him know I don't care these things and for the love of god am sorry if you were expecting it from me...
That was from my best pal and I don't even want to second guess what other think. Well just wanted to let off my steam onto this blog and now I feel very relieved I have done so.Personally I want this view of mine drilled firmly like the way they are told "bad things are actually bad" from childhoood to all my friends....please guys/girls....Don't wish anyone such days...it just is plain sick....
