MAKING TIME
Distance
Issues
Time
Job
Romantic Lives
... and some more
These are the genuine excuses that we all give and get when we must catch up with that one person who knows us the best. But how many times do we make a genuine effort in place of a genuine reason to sustain our bond with the people we feel closest to. Especially when one can grab a quick cell-phone chat while you're stuck in traffic or keep in touch via e-mail or instant messaging. Really, how much time does it take to send an sms or an email... just once a day???
It’s sad that despite all these means readily available, people slowly drift apart... even though our thoughts still go back to the same person time and again and the only remedy to our loneliness is their company.
There have been times when I have been too involved in certain things in my life that I have also given the same excuses and not been in touch. And when I came out of those phases, I found no one there to be by my side... and the 2-3 people who were still there, I knew I am never going to let go of them ever again.
I guess, it’s all about prioritizing... not people - but situations. We all have the limited 24 hours of the day... and it’s out of these 24 hours that we need to make time for everything we need, especially the people. This investment, I believe is the most important and the most rewarding too. To end, all I want to say is that friendship is not a god gifted relationship but it’s a relationship that we chose for ourselves... our extended family that we chose for ourselves and hence it’s up to us to keep it strong. Cuz it’s mutual and I need them as much as they need me... And so I shall "MAKE TIME" - I promise :)
PS: I would like to dedicate this to Kevin – my best friend ever – if god gave me an option to chose between making all my sorrows disappear and getting you back… I would choose to have you back, cuz that my friend, will make the biggest sorrow in my heart and the biggest void in my life vanish automatically. Happy Birthday Kev - May your soul rest in peace!

i know what it feels like
lost my close friend to a freak accident..and it made me realise how every moment is important. cal them up, talk to them when you can...tme doest stay still..sometimes there may not be a tomorrow..
and it did change me..now be it a traffic jam or a free hour in office..i always catch up with those who mean a lot to me!
@Hobo - is the * a ranking for my post...LOL

adisha
Oh..I'm so sorry to hear this,Divu.
I don't want to show "pity" and crap..b'cos that'd be plain show..I'll be normal and say.."That's how life is"..
I sincerely wish Kevin's soul rests in peace..
*hugs*
straight frm heart post...
u know i hav recieved all these excuses most of the time...
at times I felt i am the most vella person on earth..it was like I Made another 24 hrs...but it was of no use...ppl made me feel like I am some fool...generally calling frends...
so ..friendship se..sort of vishwas sa utth gaya hai (not completely though)...I feel its just some sort of compatability...
neways...really nice post...I wish you keep your promise to your frends :)
God bless Kevin! :)
A touching post... RIP, Kevin.

Friend! The heart wakes from its sleep,
To behold this world, lit by a face.
Touched we have been, by Friendship's grace!"

Peace.
Ah ! Remembrances !
You captured it so well dear ! Like Arv said, we need to be reminded this often.
TC. RIP Kevin.
How right you are...
we forget about how important it is to communicate...
n yes there can be a thousand excuses which may all be lame...
my wishes for kevin:)
read it like twice or thrice, you said everything i always want to say and implement, thats nothing like complicated to stay in touch with people you care about.. unfortunately many of us dont realize it unless it is too late..
How you have been dear?
Hope all is well,
take good care :)
the 'warmness' jus radiates frm d post :)
i have stopped talking to a few people mainly cause,they don't seem to be interested in talking at all...
well true we have everything and yet so far apart...
I wish I could grant you this wish.
*hugs*
And this post was beautiful, tugging at all the right strings and invoking a myriad number of emotions..
Missed you.. Sowwie I was away...Exams and all that crap... :(
hey..
that was a very very good post..
yes..it was important too.
very nice.
take care
mip
Heartbreaking.
i so agree with u thr divi!!
its sad dat d bestest of our frenz drift away coz of reasons we cant even say are genuine!!
its only wen we loose em we realise what did we loose!!
ive always felt that we take relationships for granted. we tend to believe that our friends would be there when ever we need them. of course we are there whenever they need us. we know that we love our friends and we care for them. so why should they ever leave? but we quite often forget the importance of showing love, the importance of making our friends believe that "yes, i am there". We, at least I, have many times chosen to be silent when I could have taken the effort to tell my dear ones that i love them. maybe love is something which should be constantly expressed! the moment we feel that you are getting less doses, insecurity grasps us and we fall into the clutches of fear - fear of loosing dear ones. silence and distance also fuels the ability of human to forget and adjust. so maybe from lessons learned I might tell everyone of you: tell your loved ones that you love them, tell them now cos u never know if you could tell them tomorrow!
towards the end, your post was touching. let his soul rest in peace.
hey srry i didn't read this line "May your soul rest in peace!"
yeah it was a misunderstanding :((
srry again !
Hi DivKiran,
You know, in our heart, there are unique kinda valves which help blood to let in but it stop the blood to go outside.
Hope, we human could also have that kinda valves--friends could come in but never can't leave :)
But kya karein, we can't help it.
Aur yeah, I'm planning to write a guest post on your blog about that.
Cheers!
