The Magical Whisper!

I am dedicating this post to my friend Greeny (nick name famously known to us) and my mirror image. She almost gave up in pursuing me to write about our 'love & hate' relationship. Of course her persuasion was simply to gain her 10 minute fame :) and her request was rejected, until today.

While I am writing this post, I am also realizing that it is very difficult to express. It is like writing about your own self, which is not an easy task at all.

We have been childhood buddies but I know for sure that we knew each other much before we were even born – may sound cliché I know J. It is a well known phenomenon that a mother knows her child very well. While a child is breathing, a mother is actually feeling the breath, the pulse. The essence of our friendship is somewhat similar if not more intense. We exactly know what’s going in other’s mind and so there is no room for denial. There is no way to not be myself when I am with her.  It is more than 100% self. It is a perfect example of those rare relationships where words are not a pre-requisite to communicate. Everything is understood without expression.

We have shared some of the best moments of our lives, have witnessed the worst together, have cherished victories, and have been part of our silly crimes and more. This relationship is definitely not name sake ‘cordial’ – it can’t be! It is nasty, it is honest, It is unique, it is as clear as water, it is everything but name sake ‘cordial’ J

I have seen people being so engrossed in their own life, so much so that they give up these unique jewels without a second thought. They do it either due to lack of time, distance, ego or priorities. It’s a pity. True friends are like magical whispers of life. They come into your life like a whisper and they also leave without making any noise (if you let them go). No matter how far you are, what your life circumstances are – the beauty about such relationship is that there is always enough room for a comeback.  Even after a long pause and uncalled distance, once you reunite, you will be pleasantly surprised to see that the essence of your friendship is still the same; the time factor didn't change the equation at all.

These relationships are like wines – with time it only gets better!

Cheers to the friendship!

Love,

Greeny & Jini
