F.R.I.E.N.D.S. ---- Season 11

There was just me before, a sudden shift from my place of genesis, to Mars…..that’s what it looks like. A place where I did not know anyone, the species weren’t like me at all. They did have two ears………but couldn’t hear, they had two hands that moved forward to shake hands with me, marking the start of our so called friendship. Just to find out later, after 8 long years, it was a lie. I wouldn’t say there are bad….we all are, or worth being a friends with. But yes, they fit in the chameleon family, if I would be sketching them in my paper.
Under the notion that this was it…….my life 600 kms away from my dreamland, I drew closer to them and they, to me. Sometimes they walked me home as they thought this is what friends do. Knowing that I have, what I call is crossing phobia, they used to leave me alone while crossing the lane. I…….yelling their names, made my throat go sore. No one reached in time to help me cross too. At least ‘they’ could have waited for me.
After years of persuasion and possible attempts done on my parents, I was sent back to the place where I belonged. Never thought this could happen, but it did…..surprising!
A month later, got engaged in my studies. The environment around me was like Central Perk………where I met my Ross, Joey and Chandler. I was back among Homo-sapiens. The ones who understood my language, similar prototypes. I was sometimes Rachael, interested to be Monica but embraced being Phoebe. One of them……..no, we all were one.
There was no need to walk across halls or bump into their rooms to meet them. Cause we were attached to each other through umbilical cords……….same species you see but from different mothers. I’m sure their mom’s shared the same view as mine, cause we all are similar……………very similar.
Some great philosopher quoted “a friend in need is a fiend indeed”, so are we supposed to pick out friends who can reach out only at times of our trouble. NO…….this quote misfits my friend-o-logical definition, my friends not only stand beside me at times of trouble but mess up and screw each and every second of my day. They are like freaking shadows, spirits haunting my life in a positive, sweet way….GOOD FOR ME!!!
We are like those Siamese twins…only difference is we are more than two. Problems prevail in each ones life; an elderly man/woman said “if there is a problem, there is also a solution to it”. When I’m fed up of thinking, so is Chandler, Ross & Joey, intelligence is distributed to us evenly. But when we hold group discussions………….we have hundreds of them at our disposal………GROUP DISCUSSION is our super-power. They are the best, the best of the best as there is no superlative to the word best.
I do not say they will take a bullet for me………….but, yes, they will surely make an attempt to snatch and grab the gun away from the person wanting to shoot me. Aaaaaaaaa…….I’m smiling, even though FRIENDS was over within 10 seasons, I’m living the 11th season of MY F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Isn’t that cool enough……..naaaaahhhhhhh………….its SUPER-COOL!
