It’s been a week of bitter farewells..
My Closest & Dearest Friend is getting married this week. It was idyllic to drive about town distributing his wedding invitations & little boxes of sweets. The night before his departure we were having “Shisha” at our favorite spot catching up on old times. We both know things would be different once he returns. His social prerogatives, responsibilities and general perception about life would change. Superficially we would still be friends but a sudden emergence of an invisible divide would drift us apart.
“Get Married Dude!!” was his last friendly advice.
It’s been a week of inhibited sorrow..
The higher you climb the corporate ladder, the more your family life suffers. Success comes at a price and somewhere along the strenuous journey you have to decide where your allegiance lies. “The Devil wears Prada” portrays this debacle brilliantly. In a marriage of two successful individuals the question arises as to who compromises. Relentless Pursue of our dreams can be misleading; maybe this chase might end up as a farce as we ourselves are not aware of our true happiness. Sometimes its too late when we realize what really makes us happy and complete.
A very dear, young & successful couple is seeking divorce, as both of them are not ready to jeopardize their careers for the sake of a family. Someday they will have to explain to their young daughter why they preferred to split..
It’s been a week of awakening…
I have stepped out of my cocoon and am prepared to accept the world as it materializes. There is no reason to wait around for things to reorganize themselves into a sequential pattern of your preference sometimes haphazard is beautiful. There is no explanation in lamenting over trivial grievances & minor hindrances that our faulty vision perceives as mountains.

I learned this summer that when friends get married they really do change, but we have to learn to accept this change in their lives. That's why these people are our good friends, b/c we accept them in every way & vice versa :)
iA you'll get used to ur friend's married state.
I guess marriage brings about a change in every relationship.
A good friend may get caught up in his new life. We need to step back a little and provide them with the space they are entitled to. However, one does not really loose a good friend. They are there for us to fall into when time get rough.
