FRIENDS --- Filling voids
I read FRIENDS ARE NECESSARY succinctly composed by a lovely friend and immediately wanted to write my own circumlocution regarding the same.
Hell yess!!! Friends are necessary. Heaven!! Yess. with friends in vicinity. To show you how it all began.
Chanakya said "There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth."
Bitter indeed. Look back and you will realize these tiny interests like getting notes, completing assignments and records, group studies, labs, to and fro institutes and departments, hostels and canteens, outdoor and indoor games and competitions, birthday celebrations & treats, participating in culturals and techfests, watching movies night long, desperate morning breakfasts, debates and quarrels over anything and everything, squandering time, common interests or for some common crushes and bla bla bla.... Some lead to initiating friendship while others lead to developing and strengthening it stronger and deeper in time and with time. That is how we all have filled voids of each other's time, moral & emotional support and hence nurtured the beautiful bond called friendship.
Talking about friendship, I have found that people have different perception and action for the same. Some say friendship is the only relation a person makes of his own accord and hence holds the relation and his/her friends very important. They do everything as per his/her friends and definitely takes good care of them as well. Some give a lot of time and scrutinize and only then decide to call someone a friend and friend for a life time and they mean it. Promising. Very rare kinds and if you end up opposite them, no one can be more fortunate on earth but you. They can go to the end of life parallel you. Some would call you a friend after they have been done several favors(as per them) and only then will they start sailing in this ship named friendship. For some friends are necessary and its gloomy in their absence. Some says everyone his/her friend whoever he/she gets to talk to even once because they care for everyone the same and strives hard for it. But in the end everyone of us knows that FRIENDS ARE NECESSARY. For the sake of good times they are necessary. You feel happiest only after sharing your happy moments with friends. For the sake of worst times they are necessary. You will need someone in such situations for your support. For the sake of boring times they are necessary. You will need someone for fun moments, to spread across your part of boredom. For Some teases and pranks. For Some bickers and tussles.
Even before you know that you have got habituated to those lovely friends around you, time changes. Its time to part and find yourself miles apart. Some goes a few states, others a few continents apart and all you are left with is to see a tea shop but cannot order one because the companion of tea and vada is not there. You see a chocolate box, sweets and home made food and wont touch it because you find out that you always liked sharing it with friends and the person is absent. You see a train and remember the best train journeys all you have done with your friends. You see carrom board and would play for a minute only to realize its hell boring without those friends. You see paani puri, paapdi chaat, gulab jamun and hesitate to have those without your friend. You order a pizza somewhere and are pretty sure its gonna taste yuck without the same group. You see deodrant and other products and remember who all were those whose belongings were used and squandered time and again. You see a person ahead of you resembling someone, scream out a name but contain and realize time have changed. You take out your cell phone, write a message and in the 'send to' space you type the name of the friend you do not intend to be the receiver. It is by this way sooner or later you have to fill the void of those indeed necessary friends by memories, smile and carry on.

Chanakya did not needed to tell me that. I preached this to everybody. And yes you have compiled minute things and put them together very well. Although can we have smaller paragraphs?
