Friendship day

When I was in school, there was no one who used to celebrate this day, until we saw kuch kuch hota hai. That was the first time I was introduced to the Friendship day and friendship band. All the boys used to dream about giving friendship band to the girls, because giving band to boys was such a waste. Some of us succeeded in making few friends especially, rest of kept thinking about how to approach the girls. A boy and girls can never be only friends that was we used to thing at that time, We all feared what if girl refuse and more dangerous what if she make us his brother. That was too much risk at that time. 

Those were days when there was no facebook, no orkut, no twitter, no mobile phone and even having landline phone was rare. If you receive a call from girl then it become a big news in your home, your cousins and sister will remind you that thing till the time then find someone new to target. Talking to girl used to be a taboo in school until and unless you are famous with your looks. I remember how in our group of boys we used to tease the boy who talks to girl, and more he used to think as traitor in our group. We were all small town boys, who were very much influenced by the movie. We all were Srk type lover, we wanted to woo the girl with all the good things but in reality we knew it is not possible. 

Today when I look back to those days, it really becomes so nostalgic to think about those days. My school time was more memorable because I am still in touch with most people of my school whom I consider as my friends, but when I look back I have some regrets as well. But we all move on in our life, we make new friends. One thing I learned in school which was really important to me was making new friends is very important, you need to meet people and talk to them in order to know them.

On this friendship day I want to remember all my school friends who made me feel so special, who knew me when I was nothing and they believe me at that time also. I want to meet all of them all the time, but I know it is not possible but we all can hope. I still think your school friends are the one who know about you most but don’t talk about you. They can judge you best because they know you when you have learned to lie about yourself, you don’t fake yourself, and you don’t make things to become friends. Some time you think how well your school days where. 

Anyways, this friendship day I am not doing anything special apart from doing what I do best, hoping some of old friends call me to talk with me.

Rukhsat.... The farewell party of 2008-2010 IEC MBA Batch

In the summers of 2010 when I was in first year we gave our senior a memorable farewell in the college. I saw this video in the YouTube posted by our senior with lots of memories. It is different to see how we where few year back. :)

Few things that I will always remember about that day.....

1. The memorable party, I was almost absent in all the preparation of the party and came back on the last day. but one thing I am proud of is the name Rukhsat was suggested by US. Till the time IEC MBA farewell is there, It will be the name of the farewell party. :)
2. My Interaction with senior was quite less, I knew most of them but not actively talked to them. Again I want to praise my self that due to my semester result everyone knew me. On farewell day they even gifted us a nice key chain. I do have that key chain with me till date. ( Thanks for that sweet gift).
3. The dance of Riyanka Ma'am, Well that all I can say. We were fortunate to have witness her beautiful dance on that day. She was my Exam mate type, Her roll no and mine roll no was used to come on same bench. So I used to sit with her in internal exams.
4. Devopmam Ma'am topper of our senior, Ronny sir, Harendra sir ( With his rocking dance on TWIST song). There are so many thing I am missing right now.
5. Paper dance was one the biggest controversy in our farewell party. The dance was not concluded in the end, it has to be stopped by our HOD. but still we all enjoyed that dance as well.

P.S.: I am just randomly picking up the part of our rukhsat so I missed so many people out there. Please don't be feel bad because I missed it. 

Why can’t there be a simple relationship called “FRIENDSHIP”

I am sick and tired of hearing a filmy dialog, “A boy and a girls can never be only FRIENDS”. Why, because they are never given chance to be friendship or it is some other thing. As a girl I can tell you few things which are becoming Intolerable for us.

When you meet any boy or man, he will start with a simple and plain nature that we only want to be good friends but few months later you will find out that now he is in love with you. Now things will not end here they will go on to explain things you about hours how they feel, how much they want you even if you are “NOT INTRESTED”. Just like girls don’t have a choice, well Mr. dude get something on your brain which is filled with only cricket and girls that we do have our brain and heart and we will make the choice as we want not as you want.

Even if they will agree to be your friend again, then they will give you the most problematic period. They will start asking you question like, where are you?, with whom you are?, why can’t you talk?, why can’t you message? I don’t like your friends don’t talk to them and list will go on. Please give me a break, it’s my life and I know how to live it. I don’t need security guard what I need is friend who can understand rather that just keep telling me what to do and what not to do.

It is strange in this male dominated society that if a girl talks to 4 boys she might be termed as bad. But if a boy talks to 4 girls either he is caring or he is dude. Just sick with mentality, even in the college most of them will look for getting mingle rather than being good friend.

Being a friend is always the last option in the boys list, they don’t like it. “JUST FRIEND” tag they hate to wear, but sometime you need to know that not every relationship where there is love and care is of love. Some time it is of friends, family and others. The best relationship you can have is friend but if he deserve to be. I sincerely hope this friendship day there realize it and try to be “FRIENDS”.

P.S.: I am not against thought of being falling in love, but against being falling for every girl which you see. This part is based on one of my close friend life who is sick of ROAD SIDE ROMEO…

Friendship day: A day of friends....

Well every year first Sunday there is friendship day is celebrated. I was curious how the friendship day was started and by whom it was started. But there are very few piece of information available regarding its origin. Some say it is again a marketing thing to sell more in the festive period as in west there are lack of festivals. But we Indian never lack occasion to celebrate. Well here is the piece of note on friendship day Origin.

Friendship Day celebrations are held on different dates in different countries of the world. The first World Friendship Day was proposed on 30 July 1958 in Paraguay. On 27 April, 2011, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared 30 July as official International Friendship Day. However, in India, Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August.

Friendship Day was originally proposed by Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark cards in 1919, intended to be the first Sunday of August and a day when people celebrated their friendships by sending cards. The first Sunday in August was chosen as the center of the largest lull between holiday celebrations but it faced consumer resistance, given that it was rather too obviously a commercial gimmick to promote greetings cards.
