my gang of girls

Its something to do with the age we find ourselves at I guess. Suddenly there is a need firstly for ‘my space’ an erstwhile unheard of notion and secondly your girlfriends have yet again become the much needed support system, your ‘sisters in arms’, your sounding board. Reminds of the time spent in school where every young unaccustomed new feeling was thrashed out, discussed and by the end of it usually our troubles had evaporated in a peal of laughter!!! Secret crushes, the angst of growing up, our dreams for tomorrow were all wrapped up in a blissful time spent breezing through life which on hindsight everyone agrees was the time of our lives’!!

Somewhere along the way we all moved away to careers, different cities and husbands and children…… yet the more we moved away the more we stayed together. Years down the line all it takes is one comment on facebook, one phone call or sms to make my day so much better. I hear of someone’s success and it’s as if I have achieved something, another one has a baby and I moon over the little ones pics as if it were my own child. In fact distances not withstanding even today those five friends continue to encourage me with words and sometimes a much needed kick on the derriere!!!

Since this is my very first post I dedicate it to all the friends I have had and the ones I have now. Life would really not be the same without our long talks, our smiles and our shared tears! My attempts at blogging are very much due to the unabashed and wholehearted trust that some of my friends have in my capabilities. They have had faith in me ….at times when I didn’t have any faith in myself!! What would I do without you!!:-)
