First of all, I dedicate this post to Ankit Khandelwal. Sitting in your room, Ankit says, is the best time to reflect upon your life in general, and your experiences, in particular. I felt a certain nostalgia when he said that, because that is primarily what I had been worried about for quite some time. Every time I felt I was free, I craved for something to work on. This time, although expected to do a couple of jobs, I have decided to take this time out to do that exercise by myself, and in a way, scrutinize if Ankit is correct. You are doing a great job till now buddy.
I started and restarted this post about ten times to finally arrive at what I have written above. Does this reflect something like a chaos in my mind? May be. But I would like to be a little irrational tonight and feel my heart, something I wanted to do for a while now. I felt drinking was a way to do it but I have not been able to do it, may be I am just not being able to let go the tendency to reason each and every event. And here I follow the suit. People, you may find this blog tautological, but spare me for my state of mind and the efforts that I am trying to put in, to change it, atleast for tonight.
So when I recline in my, not so comfortable, chair and look up at the ceiling, a typical posture pretending you are thinking about something, the only thought that crosses my mind is friendship and how effortlessly friends make their ways into our lives. The way you just happen to connect with certain people, and how they influence you giving a certain direction to your life, in some cases. How an event, a casual chat, a conversation, a meeting, a thing as imperceptible like a gesture makes a lasting impression on your mind! And the same way things that don't seem to you having the same theme, just make up a circle, referring here to the concept of circles as introduced by Google Plus. In this case, the recent airtel ad, the popular T.V. Series, and my short chat with Ankit.
The airtel ad makes up for the title of the blog. I do so, because sitting here I realised friends are something that I, and for that matter any person, would have for a lifetime, and hence, is a perennial topic that I can write on, as and when I like. I share the title of this post with first episode of the popular T.V. series F.R.I.E.N.D.S. It was the first thing that flashed through my mind. And finally Ankit is responsible for this blog.
I do not know if I have still been able to move out of my mind's construct, rationalizing my choice, the reasons why I write this blog, but I feel have made an advance for sure, no matter how small it may be. As Robert Kiyosaki says in his book about financial freedom, that the first million is the hardest. It may be considered true for most of the situations in your life, not generalising though.
I just realised that I have written a decent length already. Thanks Ankit for driving me towards finding myself, and now I can say it with certainity that I had changed somewhere in this course of my life. Friends, truly said, are a true reflection of your life since, when I was most troubled finding something to do in my life, Ankit showed me the way. I have also answered a question, if Rahul, Akash and Gaurav read it, that friends are indeed an asset, and definitely not a liability. I, in the subsequent posts, would try and find some other things that I have done in my life, some really important and life changing, entirely because of my friends.
