Friendly Forecast
Did I miss out on the weekly forecast which stated that I would meet a great many friends?
My oldest, "bestest" friend had come visiting today after a really long time. It was so lovely catching up, and realizing that nothing has changed between us. I have very, very few good friends really, and she is the first among equals.
What struck me is that all those whom I consider my best friends, share very similar tastes, interests, and views with me.
Now consider the popular view that opposites attract. I wonder how many people have deep friendships with folks who are diametrically opposite in nature to them. Which is more natural - I'm not sure that's even a question that can be asked! Can the two be compared at all? Perhaps not.
A friend is a friend. Let's leave it at that.

Hmm,right ano,friends r friends,similar or opposite,the only issue matters is they understand u and they know u:) and life without friends seems to incomplete:) havefun
actually every theory has a counter theory. And the suitable one can be appropriately chosen to define any situation.
Here the counter theory that does the rounds is "Like Minds stick together"...
Neways, theories don't lead to situations (and friends and friendships and other relationships), its actually the other way round.
So just enjoy ur life and let the theorists (read, all other people) do the explanation part. :-).
Nice writing though. Will keep visiting...
absolutely neels!
and shantanu, liked that statement about theories don't lead to situations... thanks for dropping by!
thats true...a friend is a friend...a friend is a world of joy..
