friendship

I have been meaning to post ever since I got back from my holiday, but there were rude interruptions whose tirades I shall provide later. It's friendship day, and this post is a small tríbute to friendship.

I always went to the same school since grade 1 till I went to Stuttgart. We did not have a floating population, so I stayed with more or less the same friends. Very rarely did a friend drift away, and when that happened our connection was lost.

I could say that I’m truly surprised, but utterly joyful that Julia’s and my friendship has lasted this while. It is strained, of course, due to the distance. No previlege of picking the phone and ranting off, or meeting on weekends for a cup of coffee. But, we have our own little things to look forward to. A stray mail, a phone call where we cram details of what life’s been like since the last time we chit-chattered, little bits in the blog, random memories of her that cross my mind as days go by.

I’l cherish this relationship forever and thankyou so much buddy for being there.. :)
This song by The White Stripes has always been a personal favourite. HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!!

We're gonna be friends

Fall is here
Hear the yell
Back to school
Ring the bell
Brand new shoes
Walking blues
Climb the fence
Books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with meSuzy-lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are
No one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
Theres dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now its time to learn
We clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters
Learn to spell
Rhymes and books and show and tell
Playtime we will throw the ball
Back to class
Through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don't notice any time passed
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that i sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight i'll dream
While i'm in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
'Bout the bugs and alphabet
When i wake tomorrow i'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Brings back sweet memories!!!

P.S. See the butterfly shirt :]
