Go alone

by my recent experience of visit to chennai

ya ya i wanna brag that i visited chennai

by the way saravana coffee is the best coffee in the whole world .. i would fight anyone who says its not

but no one would!!!!!!

one thing i want to mention that i was alone
totally alone
i had no contacts in chennai ,on the way or anywhere near chennai

i asked a friend to join.. but i got some reasons which are not important

so where was i
yes i was alone

but i wasn't sad

being alone made me talk to people in the train

people who didn't know hindi marathi
people i might never see again :(


and many a times talking to people out of your daily circle increases your thinking bandwidth

you get to know new things

you get to make contacts


and did i mention you get to learn a lot

a lot

what i have gained by not having any so called friends in chennai is a lot

because if i did i would have spent an awful lot of time chatting with them or i would have discussed how the speaker from Australia pronounced 'the' and giggled with them

here i did all of that too

but with people i knew from a hour ago

and here i knew one thing for sure

these were people like me .. sharing the same set of interests

to whom words like citation and cryptography don't seem hostile alien or boring


these are people i must be calling friends

truly


so

if you want to grow
if you want to learn
if you want to meet new people make friends


Go on the next trip alone

you will return with more than just memories

jealous

i get jealous when i see people having close friends

to tell u frankly i have never had good friends

well u'll say all friends are good

well yeah i have had and still have friends

but not friends like harold and kumar :D

not someone i can share things with

not someone i can just roam around just 'BEING NILESH' as he is......... not pretending anything not conscious about anythng

not someone i can have fun with

according to me u can find the definition of a good frnd in the song 'I'll Be there for u' The Rembrandts Album

i have had very good friends in ahemdabad and even have good friends now

but a feeling keeps bugging me that none of them would ever sing this song for me

neither would i ..

now this would sound funny but ...sadly itz true

people giving casual smiles , hiis and the hellos dont count as frnds

neither does helping ..

its a part of humanity i guess we all shud help each other :D

when i ask myself why do i not have any close frnds

maybe i was plain unlucky

maybe i dint let anyone be close

maybe maybee was a bad honeybee so her 'e' was cut off :o

now u may call me a cry baby

i am in this matter

this is very close to my heart

speaking of that song

its best part is this

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you, yeah

i get very nostalgic for something that has never existed

may you all be happy

\peace/
