Close Friend From Far

We meet many people in our lives and become very good friends with some. More than often, we do not even remember how we met and how we came close. I have friends from my locality and from my college. I would like to share my personal experience with a friend. It all started on the day when one of my friends called me past midnight which was not unusual as midnight was the time we usually started talking on phone and the conversation would continue for hours. Still, I felt that he was talking in a different manner, a bit decent than the way he used to talk. Before i would ask him, he told me that one of his friends was on conference, and the friend was a girl. With that, everything became clear and I did not feel the need to ask him the reason for his decency.

The girl lives in a very distant city in fact even the state boundaries changed twice between her and us. I knew a lot about her as my friend often shared his experiences with me and I liked a lot of what I knew about her behavior. It took little time for me to connect with her and talk as close friends do. We had nearly four hours of phone conversation on the very first time we talked. At the end of our conversation, I knew very surely that she is going to be fun to be friends with and I would probably enjoy her friendship. His way of talking openly and was one thing which I liked more than anything else. My friend was key player of our group as he was the one who introduced both of us and he acted as intermediate channel for our talks for several weeks. He is a very friendly person unlike me and I am very thankful to him for inducing a bit of his qualities into me.

It was probably the fastest friendship connection I ever experienced and as every other thing even this had some reason. First, I knew about the new friend even before I knew her name. Secondly, my opinions and views about several things including relationships were seconded by her. Thirdly, we both liked he idea of pen friends. Though now i have heard various versions like sms friends, phone friends blah blah but the feel of being cannot be replaced by any of these. E-mails can still be considered to a great extent. So with these things in common, we became friends soon converted into good friends and now very very good friends. I repeatedly hear a question that is,”Can boys and girls be just friends” to which I can very confidently reply in affirmation.

Today, several months have passed and our friendship is just getting stronger day by day. I am very happy to know her and I am very sure that it is same from her side too. I had not seen even her pictures for a month but I enjoyed talking to her and sharing experiences with her. The experiences were always made more spicy by my friend whom I admire for being so friendly with everyone.

What I learnt out of this friendship is that there are bunch of buddies out there in the world who think like you and whose ideas are similar to yours’ so always be open to accept friendships without considering physical boundaries and borders.
