F.R.I.E.N.D.S


After spending 3.5 long years in one of leading IT services company I switched my job. It was my first day at new job. Everything seemed wonderful, Beautiful office premises, awesome people around, new smiling faces, new desk and everything looked perfect.  I was at new phase of my life but I felt like something was missing here at new place, “what was it?” I asked myself; then suddenly something attracted my attention on adjacent desk. What was it? It was nothing but a photograph of gang of friends. I looked at it and instantly went into memory lanes where I spent wonderful moments with friends. Yes that’s what I was missing. “My Friends” That’s when I realized I have so many friends and each one is special and different in nature yet precious to me. I am trying to list down different types of friends probably we all have.

I am sure we all have one friend of each category given below. Read it and try to relate it with your friends
  1. Angel Faced: A friend, who has got very innocent face but his/her mind is no less than a devil’s a workshop. They just look like saint from Himalayas but are biggest trouble makers of all. Beware of such friends, don’t get fooled because “Jasa dista tasa nasta mahnun jag phasta” (things are not what they seem and that is why the world gets fooled) ;)
  2.  Drama queen: A friend, who has a habit of portraying their problems larger than they actually are. Sometimes it becomes annoying to handle all the drama in their  life. Such friends constantly feel that everything is going wrong in their life no matter what happens to them. Best way to deal with such friends is to keep safe distance.
  3. Good one: A friend, who may or may not be close to you but is very generous and kind to all.
  4. Quiet one: These friends are the ones who are quiet, introvert in nature. They are usually mistaken as rude and arrogant just because they don’t talk much when in group but that is a big myth.They are good listeners and such people are best one to be approached when in need. We can safely unload all our worries in front of them and usually our secrets lies in safe hands with such friends.
  5. Troubled one: These friends always look unhappy and struggling with one thing or other. No matter what they try to do, always end up in some kind of trouble. 
  6.  Grumpy one: We all have a friend who seems annoyed with us for every damn thing we do. I call them as grumpy friend. You have to be very careful with such friends when you joke around; you never know what will trigger them.
  7.   Cry Baby:  A friend, who is always crying out about one thing or other. you can say they are super sensitive. They always sound negative about everything around. 
  8.  Khatarnak one: A friend, who show you that they are loyal to you until the time comes when you need them and they walk away that very moment.
  9.  Frenemy: we all have one in our social circle, i.e. a person who masquerades as a friend but is secretly jealous and would enjoy it if something bad happened to you. In essence, the very opposite of a friend.
  10.  Best One: A friend, you can count on and turn to them when in need at any time and for anything in this world. Such friends are protective; they are there not only as friend but to watch your back. They are the most sincere ones. They know the best and worst about you and still stand by you. They are often known as a true friend, one who is there through the thick and thin. One who you may not talk to in months, yet with a single phone call they are there at your side in your time of need; OR may be you talk to them daily but they never get bored with your stupid tantrums. We can bear our souls to them without getting judged. They are there in times of need because they know what it is like to be alone. They are friends for lifetime, keep them safe and secure.
