Came across a saying in a mail sent by my friend:
"Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened."
I was suddenly transported back to my 2nd year in college.If i had come across this saying then, i would never have agreed with it.
it was then that i lost a dear friend..
We (our gang of friends) found it impossible to shake-off the overwhelming sadness around us.
Ya life goes on...but who could forget him, his laugh, his passion for blue (nag used to always exclaim.."blue shoes!!!), his own unique style of telling "bhuTTA"...not us...and we never will..
It was at this time that our circle of a still-developing bond of friendship turned rock solid...a loss of a friend drew us closer..oh!! the irony of it all...
Its easy to be a part of a friend's happiness, but to be part of a friend's sadness takes determination, love and unrelenting support...
Life's chapters (no matter how short they are) teach us lessons that mould us into better human beings...and thats what matters in the end.
We all moved on, and we indeed remember our friend with a smile..YES!! a smile...because the friendship happened!!! And i am thankful to God for it.

the depth of this feeling can be sensed by the ppl who have lost their dear n near friend. Yes vinu, v true our friend ll always last in our mind smiling and all the good times he shared with us.
no words of sorrow or comfort can bring back the joy or happiness of the time spend with near and dear ones now no longer there.
but then time can never stand still nor can it take a step back. these proceedings in life are God sent to make one understand the differences that life could and would offer, indirectly making us strong for the life yet to come.
