The missing link of my life... My Friends

Today il b talking only about my friends.. right from my childhood till today...basically i will divide my friends into 3 categories, best friends, close friends and casual friends...
In my life so many ppl hav left their mark behind... but ya there are many marks erased due to time...

In my childhood.. the friends i considered as "Best friends" were the ones i cud share my tiffin with, chocolates, toys, comics could be easily shared with those.. and there were not many such ppl.. the "Close friends" category ceased to exist at tht time..may be till my 5th grade....Rest everyone fell into the "friends" category.. there were no many things sharing with thes category.. but ya they were nice in their own way.. forming groups to play a game..etc... The memories of childhood friends are so very foggy now in my minds.. those friends whom i once called best friends hav become unknown to me... though ocassionally we meet.. therz nothing more than a "hello" being said...

the second phase of my childhood... uptil say my tenth grade...jus stepping into early teens..... things were different at tht time...my "best friends" included 3-4 ppl.. though there were many secrets at tht time... they were not to be revealed to anyone.. mite b family problems or so... the "close friends" category too included a few whom i resonated well with.. tricks n pranks were very much more at tht time...."friends" category included ppl whom i liked to talk to ..but for some or the other reason they could not b my best friends.... and wid these ppl even today if i meet there is lots of exchanges of smiles n talks..those best friends of mine are still quite close to me even today

My undergraduation days...i specifically dont remember making gud friends... my group from my school were the only ppl i felt comfortable wid... so the ppl i made friends with were just "casual friend" hardly meet these ppl now-a-days...
But ya.. my school friends are the ones who r still close to me..

My College days or so called late teens- early adulthood days are the ones il cherish forever.. my fun filled days... i still remember all the pranks played by me... pranks on teachers..on friends etc.. but these days brought along with them so many new friends.. these were the days i made a lot of very close friends.. i still hav them as my best friends.. secrets...treats..pranks..etc.. in short..the gist of my college days...even now wen i come back home for holidays it so happends tht i make it a point to meet my group... yes...my group...
i dont know how to describe my life during these college days..i made 3 very close friends and 2 best friend...friends of a lifetime to tell my secrets..my worries, my pains and to share my happiness too..the Best days of my life..
Ppl in the hostels, day scholars.. staff members of my college..i enjoyed the time i spent wid each of them..time...4 years seemed to just fly..

My post grad days...away from home for a year and a half.... being a bit apprehensive abt staying in a place away from home made me kinda reserved in the initial period of my stay.. but then professional life thot me so many things.. n i enjoyed my life out there... i made 1 very close friend and 1 best friend..and other casual friends..

so in my entire life till now i can say i hav 2 best friend and 3 very close friends....and a hoard of "casual friends".. i must say i enjoyed a lot wid my casual friends.. its in a group tht u come across so many pranks n laughter.....

my best friends.... watever be the circumstance in my life.. i need to tell to these ppl..else i feel somthing left out.. i jus cant keep anything in mind without telling my best friends.. and i find them wid me everywhere i go... though not physically.. but mentally.. i know.. even in the midnite i can jus ring them up and start telling the silliest of jokes or the most serious of matters..they r always there for me...

I wonder how i would b able to survive in this world if i had not met so many ppl... basically a group person.. i jus hate to b left out..n my friends are the ones who c to it tht i m not left out.. i always find a whole lot of ppl everywhere i go..who r so caring n warm.. in my journey of life i pray i get the same type of ppl as i hav always been meeting..

I must say... my friends---- the missing link of my Life!!
