YOU there?

Yesterday, when i called up a friend after almost a week, i was quite relieved to discover everyone still remembers me :P . Ummm, well, i have been all busy throughout the week, and i could not take out time to call up a friend or anything ( no excuses there :P ). All these days, i did not make out much how badly i have been missing all my close friends, until i actually talked to one yesterday, only to discover they still love me, care for me and are there for me :) .

What is strange about me is that i am not so-very-good at expression( i strongly believe this : ), but when it comes to my close friends, i’d like to do anything and everything to make them believe n realize what they really mean to me. It is all the more astounding to discover how a little gesture of care, a little action of kindness, a little word of concern can move hearts :O . What surprises me most is how badly we need to express our real self to people around us, just to let them know we are there for them. Sometimes, we lose touch with old friends, people who had been so significant in our life at one time, and are not even a part of it in the present-now :O. Was it a caring word you missed to say? Was it a friendly gesture you forgot to give? Was it a helping hand you did not care to lend? Or was it just a little expression of love you were too busy to let them have from you? Life is a journey, agreed. You go on meeting new people, agreed. You begin to get little time for the real old friends in your busy life when they are away, agreed. But if you take that extra little effort to stay connected, offer that extra little word to stay alive in hearts, pass on a little smile to keep your mates cheered up; won’t you find out sooner or later that it was so worth it? :-??

All this, i am not putting down for people to read; but this i am putting down for me to remember! I gotta remind my own self, what hugeeeeeee place these friends have got in my life; remind myself of the sweet , mast, tafree-full, cherished moments i have spent with them, remind myself of what contribution each one of them has in making me the real person i am today, remind myself of how much i miss them now that all of us are away and busy AND lastly, remind myself to remind them of what a special bond we share with each other :).

Love for friends is important, but expression of your love is equally important! So if you haven’t called up an old friend for weeks together (coz you were too busy to do anything but work) , get up, get going, call up, talk, plan a little get together, share a little word, exchange some moments of your life, and maybe, just maybe, you might be the second happiest person in this world :D (the first one being obviously ME, blessed with friends that i have been blessed with ;) ).

Don’t care if they haven’t remembered you for long, remind them to keep you close to their heart :D ;), coz they so much deserve to have you :D

All of us are so busy asking each other “ you there?” that sometimes we forget to ask our own self, if we are there for our loved ones !

Maybe it’s time to ask yourself, “YOU there?” ;)
