Friends Forever!!

So the story started way back in 90s, when I was becoming a teen. When everything my dad said sounded like a conspiracy to destroy my life and when anything my friends told looked like a perfect plan. The time when my dad had a scooter and I was allowed to take it with only one pillion, the time when he dint understand that I have more than one or two friends and I cant leave any one from the ride. When I never ditched or got ditched by my friends except for a beautiful girl in the class. That was the time when I felt how come my dad is so formal with his friends and how come I never met any of his school friends. The time when I felt that they would never understand friendship the way I do.

It was just a blink of eye when I found myself in College and Hostel. The time when everything my dad said made sense but I always felt.. God!! this guy is not cool!! he gets tensed on every other thing. The time when I knew that its good to get a good percentage but 50% is not that bad!!! When the circle of my friends got big and when I never felt lonely even for a minute. When I knew smoking is injurious but there is no better style than puffing the smoke out of your mouth. The time when we ate, drank, smoked and roamed together but never studied. The time when I knew life will change after college but I shrugged and said my friends are forever!!!

Then another blink of eye and I was out of college with a Job in hand. The time when I again started enjoying talking to my dad. When I met the girl of my life. When the responsibilities came and when the friends parted. The time when I still talk to my friends mostly on phone and when with each year the length and the frequency of the phone calls reduces. This is the time when facebook likes are the best expression of friendship. And this is the time when I call the mere office acquaintances as friends.

Fortunately the time has still not come to become formal to my school and college friends where as it's still the time when I shrug and think we never gonna be so formal and we will be friends forever!!!
