About Friendship

The word “Friendship” is a yet confusing terminology. I am yet to come to terms with the sort of relationship it signifies between two Individuals. At times it seems to be the single most important facet of a person’s life while at other times it simply fades into oblivion in the shadow of other important ones. I have been drawn into the lure of the same relation time & again only to increase the expectations from it & have been disappointed by it every time. The relation signified by it is definitely time bound as the other party to the relation always seems to be moving to greener pastures while I am hopelessly stuck at the same place as if frozen by the series of events unfolding in front of me. It is for me to understand that a friend is a stop gap arrangement to fill in certain voids of an individual’s life not a permanent association.
Nowadays I spent hours at stretch within the confines of these walls devoid of any human presence. The silence does different things to me at different periods of the day. During the mornings I feel a sense of purpose owing to the workout at the Gym which seems to fade away as soon as I return home. The hours leading up to afternoon pass by somewhat comfortably reading the morning papers & listening to music. The evenings by far are the hardest time of the day to endure as it drudges along at a snail’s pace. Night brings along with it a climax to another day’s proceedings fettered away in silence.
