In the unknown hour  Close, not too far You smiled your best  I forgot the rest All the love I ever had I spent on you, my bad I struggle to hold on  But I better be gone  Things begin to change  Hell, does it seem strange.  A coldness falls upon me It's not something I be  Soon, It'll be like before  When You'll matter no more  Like strangers we started  It's time now we parted  So let's mark the end  After all, I was just another friend.

My friends, you're the inspiration behind this post. Some of you might as well relate to it, since this has to do with the various types of friends one has (usually).  Read on to find out if you have any of the following on your friend list!  1. Daily dose The exact type of friend who you talk to on a daily basis. Day in and day out. They may or may not be your best friends but are sure to buzz you each day without fail, and vice versa.  They will know when you wake up and when you sleep, probably because they are the first and last person you talk to after you're up and before you're asleep, respectively. It goes without saying that they are there when you need them and your day is incomplete without a chat with them. Simply put, you can't even go 24 hours without talking to them. Period.  2. The let's-meet-up friend  He or she might not talk to you often enough but whenever you do talk, you always end up with "Milte hain na yaar" and "Chal iss week,...

Okay, so some may see this as Richi: The problem solver or the philosopher or a new adviser cum Guru on the social network. But I'm none. The following are life lessons that I've been subjected to over the two decades of my existence. You may choose to read or not, learn from them or not, but just know that, you needn't jump into fire to realise that it burns. So, read on!  1. Any relationship/friendship is similar to a little sapling. It requires more effort when it's young (new) and budding than when it grows into a full tree. Because then, it can take care of itself on its own.   2. When things go wrong, they won't turn right on their own. You need to make them happen. If things aren't as good as earlier, you need to initiate and make the move. They were spoiled by your acts, they will be improved by your acts. Nothing happens on its own, not ever.  3. The hype around life. Why do they have millions of quotes on life? Why do they have to teach you the do'...

No matter how well aware we are of the fact that expectations lead to disappointments, we never stop expecting. We may try to convince ourselves but subconsciously we all expect something or the other.  Every morning, we wake up expecting mom to cook us breakfast, lunch and dinner. We expect dad to work for us and earn us a living. And then the endless expectations from our siblings. Parents expect us to perform well career wise, expect love and respect which we most happily give, yet disappointments are inevitable because so are expectations.  And did I forget to mention the countless expectations we have from our friends and peers? Well, it's needless to say that we expect our friends to treat us the same way we treat them. But that's like expecting a lion not to attack you because you're sweet to it.  In this era of Whatsapp and Facebook, we usually expect the other person to drop a message, to call, to send a text, to strike a conversation and more...

We're afraid of trying because we fear failure.  We're afraid of lying because we fear the truth.  We're afraid of trusting because we fear betrayal.  We're afraid of hoping because we fear despondency.  We're afraid of accepting because we fear rejection.  We're afraid of crying because we fear tears.  We're afraid of fighting because we fear war.  We're afraid of doing because we fear results.  We're afraid of constructing because we fear destruction.  We're afraid of possessing because we fear loss.  We're afraid of friendship because we fear foes.  We're afraid of loving because we fear pain.  We're afraid of living because we fear death.  We're afraid because we fear fear. 

Today, as I sit to write  I can't do anything but fight  The tears in my eyes that build Thoughts have given birth to guilt Maybe it was me, maybe it was mine Mistakes like these, can't be defined The lines were drawn, I dare cross Let's flip a coin and do a toss Let luck decide the good for us Then it shouldn't be such a fuss A special bond is fading away  What can I do, do I have a say? Stop. Stop. Don't go. Stay.  Knees wobble and my heart pounds After ages, a connection was found Destroy the bud before it blossoms I'd take a grenade, for you, in my bosom.  It'll all be fine tomorrow  But now, I'm overcome by sorrow  And then they say, people leave How am I supposed to perceive  A love not known, a truth not told I had a heart, but now it's sold.  A few months old, a relation not hollow  You make it hard for me to swallow Things will change and words won't be spoken  I'll stand here, clinging to a heart that's broken.

After so much analysis and observation, I finally discovered some things that ladies and girls need to improve upon and get right. Read on.  1. Wax the underarms  So this is a big big turn off for most people. Girls, you may wear sleeveless tops and dresses but know that we don't like to see the bushy region in your armpits that you least proudly show off. Ensure that you are perfectly waxed or have negligible growth the next time you decide to wear something with no sleeves. There's enough hair on your head, we don't need any more to admire.  2. Plastic straps   If the government was cons...
