The droplet and the friend



On the yellowy green banana leaf I sprinkled some water. Tiny mirrors suddenly popped. They allowed me to see the world, through their eyes.

Dew drops on a blade of grass can't last long. But when those pearly droplets drop on to the ground, they connect and make tiny puddles. Water can't survive alone, nor can humans.


I then wondered if friends are also like droplets. They may start out as one puddle and dry up to be droplets. Or start as droplets and connect to be a puddle. The more they are the bigger the puddle becomes, from a puddle to a pond, from a river to a great ocean.


Sometimes friends just walk in and out of your life. One time you fee they are your kindred spirits. Soon they prove you are wrong. and it all becomes a mirage. When they don't see you, they forget you. When you don't see them, you forget them. No contacts = no bonds. The friendship becomes a mirage, an ephemeral memory of a lifetime. Like those little droplets who were once left all alone.



Then the end becomes the beginning, and the beginning becomes the end. Both, for the droplet and the friend.

  1. There is a beginning before an end, and no end if without a beginning.

    And without Rainfield there is no MyJourney, and Harshi should be neglected.

    But keep your breath gentle. The droplets will disappear into the ground once you shake them off.

  2. Harshi! I know..but sometimes you have to remember there are a few friends out there who really do care. Even though there is no time for keeping in touch, those real friends do keep you in their hearts. I have a few friends like that, we hardly keep in touch (though we really want to and do so from time to time)..but when we meet after years and years, its like we were never separated! isn't that wonderful. I think we need to believe in such friendships in this lonely world..sometimes things aren't what they appear to be. Life really is an illusion :) Hope you have been well sis. Hope to drop by this space more often after this dreaded month is over! :) Till then, take care!

  3. Hi Spring, thanks for dropping and commenting! Oh.. but I'm so sorry sis, this wasn't about you or any of my good pals. :) I just wrote it while thinking about some of my good friends who suddenly changed for no reason.

    Of course I knew you're awfully busy with your work and thesis. Sure, will catch you up. Take care and best of luck!

  4. Hehehe. I knew it was not about me...:) I realised how you were making a general comment. I was merely adding to the other side of it. :) Right now my corner of the world is feeling terribly lonely. Writing a thesis is one of the most lonely things one can do..it feels so isolating. I'm trying hard to cope with it these days, hence I'm distracting myself visiting blogs and online reading when I shouldn't be! :) Thanks for the wishes sis. Talk to you soon. Take care!

    1. I see. That sounds really tough. Hope you can finish it up soon and relax. Yep, these are distractions, but do listen to some good music that'll keep you off from stress. No prob sis and sure.
