Happy Friendship Day :)

It is a gradual process. Starts with mere acquainatance with the other person, and before one can realise, they actually become friends.It is easy to make (not maintain)friends..Very easy, It is human tendency to look for companions and the fact that they are social animals makes it more imperative for them to have some people around who care for them, and are always around and overtime, they start sharing things with the other person that includes TRUST, understanding,intimacy, loyalty, and even misunderstanding....and then this is termed as "Friendship" But the degree of the these inputs might differ, and hence makes each of our friends unique.

I believe there are two ways to it-One is by default and other where you have put in genuine effort, and both, may go a long way. I call it by default because,being part of same school, college, office, etc, one ends up finding/picking some people, to can relate well, and become friends. Some would be with effort, where the frequency of meeting by default is lesser. And, it has to be mutual inclination in both the cases, else it does not go a long way.

But one thing which is a little to be worried about is the usage of the term-"Friendship". It is easy to use for any relationship under the sky. People generally use it for any relationship, even having met someone even for once, or may be, even when they are in love with the other person. In the latter case, it is still acceptable because I feel friendship is a precursor to any relationship. Be it daughter/mother, father/son or even two colleagues in office.

It is amazing feeling to know that you can count on some people at any hour of the day or night. But, it is a fact that the dynamics of this relationship changes overtime. I wonder if friendship is just about knowing a few people who would remember you when they need you, and be there with you, when you need them. Do they need to close to your day to day happenings in life, or even distances are fine?

But how long can distance keep that interest in friendship alive? Does friendship remain till one is a bachelor/spinster, because after that the respective priorities in life of a person changes, and leaves with him/her less time to care much about his friends, inspite of the desire to do so?

Why do girls relatively make better friends with guys rather than their own gender? Is it because of the logic that opposites attract? Then, y do guys get along with guys well, which is not the case with the fairer sex?

Wishing a wonderful Friendship Day to all my friends.
