I'm still in pains,
just like rains,
either they do not shower,
or does so heavily that a minute is an hour!!!

Friendship
A medium sized word with a standard numeric of 10 characters, but with a lot more hidden within than a simple standard definition. As per Oxford dictionary, the meaning of friendship is “the state of being a friend; association as friends: to value a person's friendship”, but when we retrospect, don’t you all think it is definitely more than a simple association. Well, the answer is yes, and we do need to realize the gravity behind this relationship, the unconditional love hidden, the unspoken emotions splurging, the rock-solid faith, the anatomy is simply inexplicable to the core!!!
I’ve had great friends in the past, the ones whom u cannot part away so easily, the ones who were always there for you when you were looking for support, the ones who stood to defend you, not just with you but ready to sacrifice before you ought to!!! And this is a story of one of those many friends I would cherish to be with worth for my lifetime, for eons, for an eternity and for every happy n sad moment in my life. This is a friend, a foe, a critic, a mentor, an adviser, a mother, a baby, a care-taker, an inspiration, a lover, a supervisor, and what not. I could go about tagging her with innumerable synonyms but for a person for whom infinity is a limited space, what purpose would those countable synonyms achieve???
Ever did anyone see the facet of friendship in more than a million ways?? Have you ever noticed someone so close to you sharing with you all that information what nobody feels easy to share with?? Have you ever felt so helpless in finding your true friend in every other human being and start comparing?? Have you ever felt the presence of your best friend always with you 24*7?? If you answer yes, then this is a person who is definitely not just your best friend, but a soul-mate for a lifetime.
Some of the most profound and enlightening moments that truly describe this friend of mine as a person with whom I never connected worldly but internally are quoted here. Please consider the same for yourself, I bet, it would make you realize someone who is so dear to you, that you feel like being nostalgic and call him/her up and talk!!! You feel so heavy from within that there’s a sudden feeling that gives an impetus to remember your friend and wish prosperity and health for the individual.-
Going for a roll/party/trip with a large group of other friends/colleagues and suddenly remembering your best friend who’s not there on the trip with you. Thinking how more enjoyable and fun loving this entire journey would have been had he/she been along!!!

Feel his/her presence in every activity you do, every game you play in your trips/tours etc. and start missing her badly. This is when there exists an invisible chord of connectivity stronger than rest and next to the belief of existence of GOD‘s connection with you.
Walking alone/appearing for an exam/test, would always make you feel the need of someone either walking with you pacing up or supporting you for all the hard-work you put in for the next big thing in your life.
Looking for your friend, searching him/her in every human being you meet, in the crowd, thinking you must be out there somewhere!!! Looking everywhere from all corners of your eye, to all corners of vision, hoping to find your friend and give him/her a pleasant surprise.
A sudden heart pumping at high pace just at the thought of seeing him/her one more time for the day/moment, knowing that you’ve already met sometime back.
Feeling blessed to have encountered your friend and got chance to be with him/her and sending in the purest form of thanks to the LORD!!!
Feeling honored to have received some task/assignment from your best friend who considers you as capable of solving/rectifying/completing it.
A feeling of expecting every phone call to be from your friend when it rings, every door bell to be of your friend when it hits, every mail to be from this soul-mate of yours when you receive an email, and every conversation going on to be about your friend even if it is not linked in most bleak manner. Such a feeling makes you express from within the blessing and love for your friend who always thought about you and showed up via different forms like phone, door-bell, mails etc.
Feeling of buying something and thinking about your friend whether he/she would also be needing/requiring this or not.
Feeling of letting he/she know the earliest when there is something bad that happens to you.
Well, there are innumerable instances one can quote to define what friendship is. I’m lucky I’ve had very good, humble, caring and trust-worthy friends in my life, but my heart would always go down for one person in my life who has always remained more than a best friend!!! I would not want to thank her but God for creating such a great human being for the betterment of this world and as a greatest person in my entire life!!!
