The three of them sat next to each other...two tubs of popcorn between them. And a bottle of water. One of them looked to her right and said, "Look at them....that's how we will be many years down the road". Another said, "Yes, I was just thinking about that". And the third one said, "Yeah but we won't be in saris". And all three smiled, happy and secure about their friendship.

We go through so much in life. There are times when we need friends more than we may be willing to admit. There are times when they make so much sense...so much that we may sometimes not want to see it.  There are times when all we need is a hug, a cup of tea, a chat or a drive.

There are times when we feel that some friendships are forever - be it jeans, sari, make-up, long hair, short hair, mismatched clothes, out-of-fashion chappals or everything else in between.
