F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I have been a die hard fan ( err not about the movie ) but about the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. the sitcom.. From the How u doing ? of Joey...Chandler's sarcastic comments.. Phoebe's ridiculous songs.. Rachel's Style.. ( especially her hair style.. ).. Ross's marriages .. and ofcourse.. Monica's authoratative control..

I still remember.. I just happened to click Star-World by mistake one evening..(well there was a commercial break during my fav cartoons..) And they were playing FRIENDS.. and I got hooked.. From then on I always used to wait for 5 0'clock evening to come and watch was happening next ..It had started to become a part of my life.. Thanks so much to the boom of the cable network during that time.. and thankfully my dad who did get it .. and I was hooked.. hehe I had gone to that extent that I had even made my mom get hooked as well.. even though she thought it was so outrageous with all the kissing and hooking up with guys..( but then she liked about how all of them where together .. sharing laughter.. your sorrows.. giving each other the helping hand.. especially when people were out of jobs..and giving the necessary push for them to go and prove them selves.. Isn't that we all ever want ourselves.. She even went to the extent that sometimes when I had some sports practice or some rehersal's she would tell me the story during dinner..

And then I moved to Chennai.. Hnmm and staying with my bro.. and then it was coming on Zee English.. and that too the perfect time.. 9:30 pm.. Perfecto.. Finish dinner.. and sit with a tub of ice cream.. obviously he would sit with a bigger spoon though.. Goshhh soo manny memoriess.. watching FRIENDS..

And that is what has inspired me to write about FRIENDS.. and trying to see what was protrayed in reel life to real life.. ( well not comparing the stars now .. which to consider is not a bad idea .. ) but comparing to all our lifes..

Its always said you can't choose one's family not that you have much choice.. considering the fact that we haven't been given much choice over there to begin with ;) .. well .. okk won't get there now.. thats entirely different conversational topic..

But then friends is whom we choose and in most of the cases the people who act as family when we are alone and away from our real family and in most cases ends up been more important than your family. You end up sharing your inner most secrets.. thoughts.. what scares.. ur sorrows.. and what not.. and they are always there to support you.. might also say the one that all of us dread the most

" I TOLD U SO ....... " routine .

How many times have you not heard that comment from your friends.. and still they will be around with u .. in ur times of need.. the support that you always wanted.. Is if it you cribbing for some idiotic notion .. so blabbering.. ( which I'm very famous for ).. but still they are there for you..

So here I'm taking time to thank for all the FRIENDS who have come into my life.. Who left their prints.. and made me the person who I'm now.. Thank you for being there when I needed you.. Sorry if i let you down and if I was ever not there for you the way you were for me....

Let it Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I received this email the other day and thought that I should share it. I think whatever stage in the journey of life you are going through, you will somehow relate to this. Especially seeing that we at times tend to always agonize on the little simple obstacles in life. I think it is simply inspiring way to begin the New Year. *** > Let it go for 2008 ...by T. D.
