Yaariya

 

We all get nostalgic watching movies like Rand de Basanti, Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara or when we listen to the fixed playlist with songs of K.K- Pal (Which plays in every farewell, I guess till now also!) If you are graduating now, you will understand this better after 5 years and even better after a decade.

Once you are out of our college into the REAL WORLD (Corporate World) and have decent pay (but still want more and hoping for a double-digit increment), have all the gadgets and have Insta feed with travel pics showing how cool life is; somewhere you know something is still missing. You sit in silence and miss the days when you were having limited resources but a lot more time and love. You had time to celebrate the birthdays of your buddies at 12, to surprise them, to make handmade gifts, to do a group video call, and to prank. Then life happens, you all are in different cities and get busy with work, and all you do is WISH but have no motivation to take any action and stay in touch. Wishes do come true, only if you make EFFORTS.

Never let the relations get buried under your schedule. Never think twice about calling, messaging, or even writing letters to your friends. Don't forget to surprise them with their favorite cake, plant, dish, or whatever brings them a smile on their special days. Don't forget to check them randomly. Don't forget to meet them even if it is occasionally. Coz if you don't make an effort, continuously, you will definitely be accompanied by memories and loneliness when you will sit at the spots where you all used to hang together. It was yesterday only when I saw a bunch of friends helping one of the guys to climb the big rocks to reach the fort and enjoy the view. The guy resisted as he couldn't climb due to his leg. However, his friends made sure they all go up together and enjoyed together. That spirit of friends lifting another to be together was such a delight.

Where does that zeal disappear? Why does it disappear? Adulting and growth should not be accompanied by sacrifices of our relationships. As you adult don't forget the relationships, don't forget the friends, don't forget to visit your addas and enjoy the tea and making memories together. The photo gallery should be full of pics of friends, every year. Go and listen to Pal from K.K. and don't let Yaariya disappear.
