🌿 Whispers Between Teacups: A Friendship Day Reflection


Today is friendship day. And friendship is something that rarely arrives with fanfare. It is something that slips in quietly like your slippers. Waits without complaint, and laughs even when you forget its birthday. On this Friendship Day, we don’t celebrate grand declarations-we mark the small, intimate echoes. The ones that are closet to us.

 A Cracked Screen, A Whole Memory:

In today’s world full of social media noise, it is something like an old message thread—pixelated, perhaps glitchy, broken by updates. But the feeling remains. Friendship is like that. It survives the algorithms, the broken links, the silence between emojis.

 “छोटी छोटी ख़राबियाँ सह लेती है… जैसे टुकड़े टुकड़े बादलों में मोहब्बत।”

 

Of Mangoes and Mistakes:

Remember sharing mangoes with mismatched spoons? Or repairing shirts with borrowed thread? To say “I’m sorry” in gestures when a stitched tear, a steaming cup of tea together, nothing but a quiet presence.

“ये दिन बड़े वादों के लिए नहीं है— ये आम, ग़लतियाँ और मरम्मत के लिए है।”

 

Pond Days and Paper Boats:

However, when we grow old some friendships drift away. Just like the Paper boats floating away. But in all this process the fold, the memory of hands shaping paper that remains. And even if words fade, the silence doen’t ache. It gently hums.

 “जब दूर भी बह जाए… वो तह को नहीं भूलती।”

No Language, Just Loyalty:

Friendship speaks without syllables. Whether it’s a dog nudging your knee or a shadow waving from behind a curtain, friendship often speaks without syllables. It is a presence. A loyalty. A way of being felt without needing to be seen. Friendship is something which surrounds you, something which allows you reach where you wanted to without nudging you but something which is always there to boost you when you lose hope, to carry you when you are about to fall. To stand beside you without expecting anything from you.

  Letting Go of the Past: Embracing a Brighter Future Some weights aren’t meant to be carried into the future. Have you ever felt weighed down by past hurts, regrets, or memories? You're not alone to have felt this way, it’s quite natural for anyone to fall a prey on such tendencies. Holding onto what's gone can affect our present as well as future, making it hard to move forward. But what if letting go could change everything?   The Weight of the Past  Presence begins where the past loosens its grip. Dwelling on past mistakes, heartbreaks, or traumas can be emotionally and mentally exhausting. It's like carrying a heavy burden that refuses to lighten. We replay painful memories, wondering what could've been done differently. But the truth is, the past is just past.
