F - FOREVER FRIENDS
these are the friends who know all the details of your life. the personal failures, the heart breaks, the challenges. everything. they will kick your butt if you are making a fool of yourself. and they will push you ahead even when you dont see a way. these people will tell you, you are making a BIG mistake. this lot will not let you go home till your mood improves. this lot will drink with you and diet with you and then eat with you some more.
R - RAUNCHY FRIENDS
these are the friends with whom you can share dirty jokes, bedroom secrets and be sex gurus to. not that i would be an expert on it... but experience + interest in the topic = motivational speeches at1am.
I - IMAGINARY FRIENDS
these little devils we invent in our childhood and carry them on till puberty. that is when the male species kills this imaginary friend and we loose track of where we left this buddy behind. but i have heard of so many instances when as adults we have imaginary friends... the type who we assume are our friends but who disappear at the first sign of trouble.
E - EVERYDAY BUDDIES
these are the people who we could classify as work buddies. people who we meet everyday of our life. either by choice or by chance. even my local baniya could be my everyday buddy. i know i am my vegetable vendor's buddy 'coz he is most concerned if i miss my regular Friday shopping 'date' with him. he will be quick to ask me with a concerned look: "kya hua bhabhiji, last week nahi aaye aap? naraaz ho?"
N - NUNGA-PUNGA FRIENDS
now... thankfuly i dont have this category of friends. there are some who dont mind disrobing and baring all in front of others. so coolly, calmly as if its as normal as daylight follows night. for me that would be as normal as a 4 wheeler trying to cut my lane while i am on a scooter. the only person who i can think of who fits in this category is probably my hubby.
D - DESIGNER CHADDI PALS
now i might be the one wearing '3 for 100rs' wali chuddies.... but i treasure them alot. same way i treasure all my well-heeled Marks & Spencer wali chuddi buddies. they are the ones who make shopping a pleasurable trip. they are the ones who make walking into malls look cool. these friends i value (not by the added zeros they paid for their under garments) but by their absolute sharp, well meaning and jazzy tastes in clothes. my before and after pictures will vouch for the transformation their expert advice has culminated in.
S - SOUL SISTERS
finally, the most important type of friend. the soul sister. some of us are born with sisters. some of us have friends who are like sisters to us. these sisters we have grown up with, fought with, were jealous about, were proud about, shared rock star posters with and then some more. these people we don't need to call regularly. these people we don't have to chat endlessly for hours just to know whats on their minds. these sisters, we just have so that when words fail, the look or the silence is enough to express how we feel. these are the soul stirring girls who can tell you; "bitch, please. get over it."
so i would like to thank this impressive line-up of girls who have been the reason for my confidence, happiness and life changing make-overs.
oh yeah!!!! i forgot the special blog-a-friend type who doesn't mind going through the endless mind numbing blogs i write. thank you buddy.
