a letter to my friend



Dear Friend

I still wonder that how we have been keeping our friendship unstained for all these years. I still remember the day when I entered our classroom for the first time, with a little apprehension and ambiguity. But your amicable smile and curiosity to know about me drove off my uncertainties and made me feel better. That was our first encounter and I was unaware of the fact that, that was the beginning of an outstanding friendship in our lives.

Do you know, what is the amazing thing about friendship? It's the equality it provides. We feel equal if we are friends, thus we don't hesitate to share our personals, be it great or awkward. We like our parents, relatives, teachers and neighbors, But we never feel them as our equals, the ones to whom we can express what we really feel, without any reservations. If we do, then we start calling them as friends, 'My father is like a friend to me.....', 'My teacher is more like a friend.....' Got it?

I heard a saying, which follows 'Birds of a feather flock together.' 
You are gregarious; I prefer solitude. You are a reluctant reader; I'm a bibliophile. You have a brilliant sense of humor; I doubt whether I have a half of yours. You express your pain; I suppress mine. You love so many girls; I don't. You initiate an action; I'm always a participant. And the list goes on. Are we the birds of same feather? Don't rack your mind too much on this issue. Science is there to help us out here, as it says that ' Opposite poles attract each other.'  True, isn't it?

Years passed. Our paths have forked. Though it became difficult for us to communicate with each other, I never doubt the consistency of our relation.I hope it lasts forever. 

This is it for the present. Still there is a lot to pen out in future.

With warm regards

yours
