Friendships...

Phoebe once said to Ross ' Who cares even if I am wrong just be a friend and be supportive.' Friendship had a different meaning for me when I was in school and it completely changed as I am on the verge of passing out of college. Either this new definition is more accurate or the old one was I dont know but I kind of liked the older one. I just dont know why... People often ask me to stop expecting but why?? why should I expecting??? I dont expect things to be done for me out of the way I just dont want things to be done differently for me... i.e. bad differently... Anyways lets just forget the comparisons... I just wanna recollect those sweet fond memories of friendships in my school, my coaching... who have stood the test of time... We hardly call each other or see each other probably once every 6 months when I come home from college... but still thinking about them fills my heart with such warm feelings... we might not remember each other when we are happy but the moment one is in some kind of trouble I am sure one call no matter where we are is all that it takes to bring the smile which would have been otherwise elusive. And thats what makes me cherish these friendships.... these friends remind me of my childhood of all the innocence all the dreams , all the silly li'l games we used to play... In short it makes me happy.... and as one grows there is quite a shortage of things to feel happy for... A very dear friend once told me and I quote, "Hapiness is not a feeling , it is an attitude to live your life." I neither agree nor disagree with him just that when we are young we adopt this attitude towards everything and as we grow somewhere it just vanishes. Maybe this is the way it should be without expectations but how do one completely gets rid of it.....
