Talk about the present

Hey i figured since we're done with the whole "How close we are as friends thing" we could start writing about our experiences now that we all live in different cities.That i think would be a lot of fun for everyone.

Chennai
Ok it's hot but not all the time. The afternoon it gets really hot but in the evening it's really pleasant.The city itself is quite nice, the people honest and the roads,buses and trains are quite clean.The real problem here is the crowd.It's quite a work and no party type of crowd.Thus the lack of places to really hang out.The most beautiful girls here are keralite(secret woohoo!! for my home state)

Anyways in terms of the place for a young crowd, although im still discovering there doesnt seem to be a lot to offer.There's spencer plaza which seems to be the centre of the city,all the good theatres are close to this place
Chennai is undoubtedly the business capital.Most of the southern operations of the big MNC's are handled from here.Infy itself is building it's biggest development center here.
The beach here is superb.Cleaner than most, not as good as our goa ofcourse, but still quite nice.It happens to be the second largest beach line in the world ,i've been told....will have to check that.
Interestingly mysore is to the south of chennai...
Bet you didnt know that...

Solitude..

The hibernation is over
Each one heads out a different way
Moving, finding, venturing alien lands
A new story each day

College life has sung its swan song
Those lukkha days said its last good bye
But memories still linger behind
Of college canteen and anna's chai

Its hard to understand
Why distances grow with age
Success in each one's mind
What's in is change

This uncertainty engulfs me
The fact that we may never meet again
To leave me in my solitude
Making desperate attempts to dodge the rain

Friendships transcending dimensions

The nature of friendship has a multitude of dimensions. You have it in a number of flavours. The friendships out of love, out profitm just friends for no other reason, acquaintances, friendships out of necessity just to name a few. Friendship remains a pillar of support in times of joy, pain, pleasure, disgrace, embarrassment and love. The dimensions and layers are mind bogglingly complex. Each one of us has his own special definition of friendship and what it constitutes. Love, respect, competence, fairness, common interests are just some of the ingredients that form that unique definition. Yet it remains an essential aspect of our lives, like a feeling you cant define, like a thought you cant touch, yet it envelopes you and you unconsciously recognize it’s importance in your life.

Of all these types of friendships I love and treasure the type I share with the ‘The beepers’. I call it a friendship that transcends dimensions. A friendship that runs deep enough to make you realize what they mean in your life, like a undercurrent of blood throbbing, telling you it’s there to keep you strong .

I know we all live separate lives now, each with our own agenda, purpose and direction, yet the friendship remains the only thing we share. No expectations, no sacrifices, no apologies. A friendship among souls is rare to most, so I’m lucky to experience it with so many.

This friendship is not yours, it’s not ours, it’s mine and mine alone. I’m selfish for this reason. I don’t terribly miss anyone because the reasons are not evident. I don’t miss the things we bought, shared, did or broke. I miss the conversations. I feel no need to call all of you everyday because I find it pointless. When friendship runs deep, silence is the deepest respect given to it, because time and space and distance doesn’t even threaten it, forget break it. If we don’t meet for the next 5 years , I’ll accept it . I know you all deep enough to know that no matter how the situations, cicumstances, or countries change, the souls remain the same , immune to change.
So when we talk after a month I feel nothing has changed, like I met you yesterday. This is the nature of the highest state of friendship, where neither physical presence, nor distance or time can change what is timeless.

So Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Sydney, Mumbai don’t matter. Distance is physical. Friendships stay forever

So far ,Yet So Close.
