Two of my best friends are getting married this year. One marriage is in April and the other is in sometime at the end of the year.
I was talking to one of them today, and just like ol’ good friends do, we were reliving the carefree and completely stupid inactive days of college. And while talking to her, I realised how much we have changed. Walked so many miles ahead, together, telling each other of every milestone, keeping each other updated on the new things we did. First time we smoked a cigarette, first time we had a hammered evening, falling in love. Fortunately, every thing happened after graduation which has kept the college memories so fresh as if all the incidents happened a day before.
I personally hate changes. I don’t like them. I like things to be the same always. Days, People, Relationships. I don’t think they should change, but change is the law of nature, and I have to come in terms with it. That is what I realised.
I called her and the first thing I said was, “Hey, when are you tying the knot… (*for her it is more like saying Qabool hai thrice, but whatever*) Oh shit you are getting married Shuzo…” And my realisation was followed by a giggle on the other side. It was so weird. First thing first, why do we live in such denial. Everything will be the same, that’s what we think when we are in college. We (friends) will always be together. Life will be as carefree as now. And that’s exactly why people *exceptions are welcome* have difficulty in coming to terms with it.
Like me, I am very bad at handling things. Very bad. When I first fell in love, I completely refused to acknowledge it. I thought, oh.. nice! We’ll always be like this. Keep having fun, keep hopping, travelling.. and lot of other things
But hell no, things get worse and then they get better again.
I am happy to inform, that I am taking change in a good stead. And it is not a very good feeling
