MY BEST FRIEND WAS MY PAIR OF COMFORTABLE PJs

“Hey! Where are you? You got to know this, you know what happened today….” Every small or big milestone of life have to be delivered like this to your best friend. Having a best friend of opposite gender is the most amazing thing in life. No matter you are a guy or a girl, this is one relation that needs to be treasured with a lot of love and care. But often we end up messing this.

Your BFF is like your shadow. You don’t think in front of them you just react. You are your most genuine self with of them, you can act weird, be crazy, do nasty stuff and they won’t mind in fact your best friend will join you in all your craziness. You can even watch a Karan Johar moving drooling over the hot guy who turns out to be a gay later in the plot and sob when SRK meets Jaya Bachchan in K3G, your best friend will be there with a box of tissues and you never know he might be even using them: P.

But what happens when this beautiful relation is affected by some feelings caused by stupid hormones and things starts to get messed up.ehh.

This relation has a very fine line. It’s far beyond friendship and a step little less than Love and that’s how it is supposed to be. This relation doesn’t have a name. This is where you can freely walk up to their room and get them in a perfect outfit for date Or sometimes even get a date for them and hook them up. Well you never know ;-)

A slight turn in this story comes when your best friend falls in love with some other person. Oh yeah ..that feels like a bitch. Initially you are happy for your friend but as time passes his lover starts getting on your nerves. You can’t have exact same equation with your friend anymore. You have to be extra cautious. Why? Oh yes! So that their “Lover” doesn’t get offended. And these “lovers” will never understand your equation with your bestie. Or there can be vice versa that your lover is getting on your best friend’s nerves.

Let us take the latter case. Now once these things comes in a relation, there are hardly chances that your relation will survive. Sooner or later these cracks starts getting bigger and your relationship is now dead by the hands of your friendship. However the story doesn’t end here my friend. Suddenly you are in zone of some crazy movies like Jaane tu ya jaane na.. Or Better Maine Pyaar Kia Because “Ladka ladki kabhi dost nai hoskte” You have to drag “love” in everything. And the feelings which were buried somewhere in the corner of your mind starts dominating you. You start feeling for them and VOILA! You are now successfully hitched to your best friend. Which is a) Awkward b) weird c) It kinda feels gross. They know all your history from your serious affairs to hookups to your first cigarette. We don’t think at that moment that we are best friends, what if we fail as lovers? Not only will we lose a partner then but also our BFF.

Or if we assume, you by Almighty’s grace are super aware that how filthy things can go. You decide to shut off all these emotions trying to keep your beautiful friendship intact. But what if this time your friend pops up this question. Woo hoo Alert!! What coming in your way. Now you don’t wanna break their heart and don’t wanna get into it too. So you calmly explain them hoping things will be as they are. And here comes the NEWS FLASH!!! No they are not. You can’t discuss your crushes, your flings with them now knowing it will hurt them. You can’t be very open to them as this might make them feel for you even more and in all this you have successfully messed up your friendship. And in all these chaos of getting things right, you realize one thing “YOU HAVE LOST YOUR BEST FRIEND”

Now once who was your partner in crime has now become a memory. And all this because that relation which was much more than a friendship needed a name? Why to define it in a certain way?

A bag is just a bag but when it gets a name of GUCCI it becomes one heck of a price. And is now something to show off too. Why have we became so materialistic that we are doing same thing in our relations? Relations are priceless and we are setting a value and priority for them by doing stupid things to give them a name or a definition.

No matter how trendy your slim fit, Stretchable Levis denims are but nothing will beat your super comfortable PJs and that was my best friend.

They need to define my equation with my best friend? So here it is
