Friendships are nothing but souls connecting. Across our
life we build many bonds, many friends with an always
optimistic approach that “Yes, these friends are gonna stay
forever, this is permanent” but, is it really permanent? The
thought of its ending leaves me in despair. We as humans
boast ourselves to be social animals, so it's logical and
reasoned to make friends, make relations and families
outside and inside our proxemics. I, being an introverted
person, found it always difficult to get out of my comfort
zone and make friends and as people say I’m not much of a
talker. After a roller coaster ride until my intermediate, I
came to this University. And because of covid since our
classes ran online for a year, I found it easy to communicate
to people across screens. It was easy because they couldn’t
see me sweating or my legs shaking out of nervousness. I
managed to get along with them all and in no time I found
what I value the most: the bond of friendship. From having
no friends to having more than I could count, I outshined
my past. This text is particularly about two people who
stood by my side in the dark and bright, in moments of
ecstasy and misery.
Mukund & Aryaka, the two friends with whom I made a
“trio” of my own. It takes time to find out the people with
whom you resonate and relate, but that was not the case
here. It only took one conversation with these two humans to create the strong belief.
Yes, this is my group!
This was a nexus event, amalgamated with common beliefs
and understanding which made this trio possible. On one
hand, where Mukund is childish, Aryaka is sophisticated
and mature. Where Mukund is good in planning, Aryaka
is good in execution. Where Mukund is carefree, Aryaka is
careworn. Talking of me, I’m a bit of both at times and
even after being different in endless ways, we are friends.
That's what sets our friendship apart from others. We
draw out all complexities at times and prove to be
resourceful to each other in infinite possible ways. If you
ever spot me walking on the campus, well look around and
you will find the other two people along with me. Catch us
in the canteen sipping coffee, or wait, you will find
Mukund sipping tea instead (he does not prefer coffee at
all) or find us sitting in the Gaushala around cows. We
stay together at all times. I hope this is not the end. Or
even the end of the degree won’t be the end of this
friendship. I’ll be optimistic again because this means a lot
more than just sharing perspectives and coffee. This bond
goes beyond description. Hope this trio lasts forever.
See you soon!
