Idiots or Angels????

I saw 3 idiots today – the story of 3 friends who support each other in sun and rains. Friends, who inspite of being away from each other for almost a decade, meet as if they were separated yesterday. I don’t call them friends. They are angels – Angels of God. They are there – no matter what happens to the world around them.

Today as I write, I think of all “my angels”. I’ll disappoint you here by not naming them. But then as Shakespeare says – What’s in the name??? My angels – I really missed all of them today – have always been there for me. They have always guided me through thick and thin. As is said, they have always held the other end of the bridge for me…

I remember distinctly all the vivid times I have spent with my friends so far… The amount of stupid planning we did, the childish games we played, those hours of talking carelessly, breaking of window panes and flower pots, picking raw mangoes off the trees, cycling together on the streets, fighting and again patching up in less than 10 minutes, arguing over things we feel laughing about today…. What not !!!

Friends change with the phases of life… You have a different set of friends when you are small, a different when you go to school, a yet different as you grow and move on in life… But there are some of them who have been with you through all these phases and are still there and will always be there… I call them angels… Coz they have seen you grow in all seasons of life. They were there when you tried to cover your silly mistake and they were there when you tried to make up for a grave error. They were there when you cracked stupid jokes and they were there when you howled with laughter… They were there when you lied to save your neck and they were there when you fought for your rights… And they are there now - as you read this post…

But, there were times when I fought with my angels… And I fought really wild… We did not speak to each other for days and those days seems like ages to me. I am sure even my friends felt the same… There were times when I had to go against them – though not wanting to… There were times when I spoke bitter words and acted weird – though with their best interest at heart!! Today, I seek forgiveness from all my angels for everything done wrong to them… This is just to tell them that I really love all of them and will always need them in my life… I really thank God for sending me these great yet humble angels to guide my life… To sum it up, all I can say, I feel blessed !!!
