I should start with a disclaimer for all you perverts who's first thought after reading the title was about getting laid. Stop reading now! Others please go on.
Here's a question that all of you will have a positive answer to. Have you ever had a falling out with a close friend? I know you have, so quit lying to yourself. It's not like you need to be Raja Harishchandra. Now here's the more pressing question... Did you get back together with that friend? Guess not, huh?
Did you ever wonder why? When I ask why I don't really want the dirt on your pal that you are dying to bitch about to anyone who asks. What I want you to think about is what stopped you from making things right. If your answer was that the son of a bitch stole your girlfriend then I can't help you there buddy. But if you feel that even 10% of it was because of your EGO, then we may have something in common there apart from the God gifted good looks ;-)
Not 4 months ago I went through the same thing. With not just one friend but a whole bunch of them. It's taken me a lot of time and efforts and whole lot of money (my Company's) to make me realise what a stupid thing that three lettered word can be, especially when you team it up with ASSumption. You don't have to completely blame yourself because more often than not, it's a two laned street.
But do you know how frigging easy it is to get past it? No, I'm not suggesting you go kill someone, you psychopath! In fact I'm talking of a plan that takes way less efforts and planning, but yeah, it could take you the same amount of courage. I've come to realise that we all need to discover the Sanjay Dutt inside us, not the one who shelters fugitives or gets high on drugs (okay, it's your personal choice, whatever man!), but the one from Munnabhai MBBS. He kept harping about the power of a simple "jaadu ki jhappi", but people like us always manage to ignore it's magic.
A simple 10 seconds long hug can make everything go away. All the hurting, all the misunderstandings, all the b***hing, all the bickering, basically all the bad things that end with an"ing". And yes, it takes courage to approach and get that HUG. Funny, how a simple three lettered word can beat the shit out of a complicated three lettered word.
This one goes out to all my friends in my office, whether you count me as a friend or not right now. I feel like giving special thanks and mention to the one person who made it possible - JD, and you know why. And a big hug to Sandy for making everything right. I just feel like I've been a fool for the last few months, instead of talking it out, I just shut myself up. To make things easier I might just put up a sign on my desk which says "Feeling down? Get a FREE HUG now" as part of my personal CSR ;-)
Let me know what you think of this idea. And stop waiting for the seasons to change, go out right now and get that friend back.
