Written on the 4th of August
I know friendship day was yesterday but i was feeling lazy to write anything on that day. More over I had to complete an assignment for my sis. So here is my friendship day post!
"Friendship day, what kind of a day is that? I mean is that like the only day in a year you can dedicate for a friend or is it the only day in a year you can make friends?" I said. "No, no ,no", said the friend, "it is not a bad day it is a . . . an un-bad day, a good day in fact. It is friendship day! Wear a smile! Go hang out, chill and have fun! It is a day for friends." "Oh, I see" I said, his pro friendship rhetoric was making me hate the day more, "so this day is meant for that?" "Yes!" he said with great enthusiasm. "Interesting" I was gearing up for my counter argument, "but isn't that what we usually do, on "'normal"' days when we meet up with friends?" "well yes . . . eh . . . but . . ." the stress on his facial muscles and the three tiny veins on his forehead region indicated that he was trying hard to formulate an elaborate lecture, "you see on those other days, "'normal"' days we do hang out and stuff but on this day it is different . . . " HOW!?!" I demanded, cutting him short. "Yes . . . "he was getting quiet annoyed and was trying to hold his frustration by biting the left side of his upper lip, "I am coming to that! I was saying . . . ""yes go on" I added hoping to annoy him further. "On this day we can get to really spend time together and . . . ""Hanging out on other days is virtual?" I was starting to get confused – it was either too complicated for me or I was beginning to lose focus because the conversation was starting to bore me and I presume it was the latter. "WHAT! What I am trying to say is . . ." his forehead vein was showing again, "on the other days your just hanging out because you guys happen to be sitting together but on this day it is a more conscious hanging out experience. You are more aware that you are hanging out together and it is a special feeling, a warm and nice feeling inside." "Is it like drinking hot chocolate?" I know this sounds stupid but drinking hot chocolate on a cold night will give your insides a better, 'warm and fuzzy' feeling. "How can u compare your friends to hot chocolate? You should celebrate this day and if u don't, well if you don't it just shows your utter disregard for your friends!" he said sounding like a fiery politician. "Hey do you want to have some ice cream? I feel like eating an ice cream." I really meant it too because this 'intellectual' argument had made me hungry. "I have wasted my time on you haven't I?" he said sounding defeated. "i like black current, what flavour do you like?" i love ice cream. "I want to go home, you are depressing." He began to show signs of breaking out into a drama sequence and I really didn't want that to happen! "hey buddy! Cheer up, it is friendship day, let us celebrate! Ice cream is on me" Sigh I had to pay for ice cream now. His face lit up with a smile, "Do you really mean it? Have you finally begun to value friendship day? I think I didn't waste my time after all" he sounded happy and all signs of his previous sadness vanished and so we went out for ice cream.
I was so bored today, sitting all alone on the college grounds as I had a free hour and with no friends to hang out with I decided to do something 'constructive' with my time. This is a fictitious account in case you are wondering J
Oh and on a totally unrelated note what the hell is with Airtel making all text messages 50pa? That is the only day friends don't communicate properly, how ironic! L
