FRIENDSHIP'S DAY..!!!

1st August 2010, Friendship's Day...

I remember celebrating friendship's day during school. the best part was for a long time i dint know it came on a Sunday. i obvious reason being Sunday was always a holiday and the band tying always took place on the day after which was a Monday. so for years i was always under the impression that Friendship's day came on a Monday and i never even realized that it never came on the same date every year.

When i was a kid friendship's day was all about tying bands and flaunting your numbers.it was all about the quantity...

"I got 10  friendship's bands.."

"Thats all, I got 50... and all of them handmade.."

I remember going to the market with my granny and buy special wool and threads for the bands and spending days before the D -Day making dozens of bands. mine would all be similar. since i never had a special friend in the beginning.

Then in 6th grade A.D came along and her band would be different from the rest and some where down the line i got bored of making bands( or rather i grew up ) so i stopped the wholesale band making and just started buying a few bands for friends( not the whole class anymore)...

Then school was out and we went to Jr. colleges... thats the time i finally figured out that friendship's day  was celebrated on the 1st Sunday of August every year. funny how i never paid attention to it before.

Since that time , thats year 2004 i've been celebrating this day ( by hanging out) with my best friends A.D and P...... We use to meet every year and hang out and just have a girls day in is nothing else.

This year however, i'm siting at home and P is out with her College buddies for lunch and A.D is in mysore ( tomm's her joining date for Infosys).

The day doesn't really hold any meaning anymore because the people i call friends aren't around to enjoy the day with me. I love them all but without them enjoying feels weird. P and i are suppose to hang out today but i have a feeling that ain't happening. the essence of the day is lost to me...:(

Its a sad friendship's day for me. August, 1st, 2010 marks the day when we all embarked on our seperate journeys away from eachother..

All the best to A.D, S and D... have a blast.. will miss u guys...:)
