Thats my friend!

I was watching Dil Chahta Hai for the nth time.

The cameraderie between Sid, Sameer and Akash is a treat. In the initial stages you kinda think "Is this for real"?

And then as we get invloved in their 'picture-perfect'lives we realize that their lives is just like ours. Full of fun, playful bantering, damage act and finally damage-control.

Thats life. Thats the life of friends.

No friendship is complete without the usual arguments and bantering. Some times its playful and sometimes the play gets farstretched!

Akash who is always the playful, flirty self, who believes that he can get away with anything without anybody getting back at him. Sameer, the confused and 'regular' guy!Sid (Akshaye) who is usually the calm composed of the lot and idealistic. All the three different yet pals. After all people need not be smiliar in order to be friends!

Until one day, Akash steps on that spot in his sensitive heart that their friendship nearly comes to a standstill. And each one moving his own way.

Sid confesses about his love for Tara, who is 10 years older than him to his friends Akash and Sameer. When Akash playfully mentions "Tere se umar mein badi hai. Experience bhi hai. Ash kar le' [Not sure of the exact lines. But something on similar lines.]

Acc to Akash, that was a 'harmless'comment. And he so did not anticipate being hit by the calm Sid. But what Sid says is something that justifies the whole act "Akash, dosti mein bhi ek hudd (limit) hotee hain. Jise humein kabhi paar nahi karnee chahiye'

This is something that every Akash needs to be reminded of. Although, friends need not be judged but they do not realize that they know where it hurts the most!

We all believe that friends absorb everything and sometimes forgive too. Akash had crossed that limit the moment he uttered that sentence!


Sometimes its one word, some times its one sentence and sometimes its a bundle of events that leads to 'break-up'between friends!

Later, due to circumstances they drift apart and then reunite towards the end!

But life is not Bollywood:) [For some people] and things sometimes go wrong and we never resort to blame games and the only attempt that people do is to 'communicate and resolve' but just like a clothes which get torn, and even after you try to mend it..the cut is still visible!

I do believe that it lies with each person invloved into making a relationship that how much he is willing to bend and let go off the dust from the shoulders in order to make it work! And it is never a one way traffic! Two people need to 'believe' in a relationship in order to take that 'step'

To accept that differences exist in realtionships and that one friend need not 'approve' of the others ways!
Like, after the title track when all the three guys are sitting on the edge and gazing at the ships in water. When one of them says 'Ek din shayad hum bhi apne apne raaste nikal jaayenge'[Again, I do not remeber the exact lines. Not that I care]..True enuf, its quite possible that in midst of 'oceans of friends' who will stick with you, who will be there 'just around the corner..Like how it happens in the last scene when Sameer says to Akash "Kahan hai tu.. kab mil sakta hai" and Aakash says "Aaj, abhi, isi waqt .. just turn around "

That is what a friend is to me! One who would not question, why you have hurt and who is to be blamed. But one, who irrespective of what has happened in the past, respects the friend who made the move and assures of his ubiquitous presence!

[P.S:-The views expresses hereof are purely mine and what my beleif is]:)

Everyone has a different view on how friends should be and that is what causes a tiff most of the times.

I think it is when expectations creep in or the sense of we can take this person for granted, is when the problems begins.Rightly said, we all have limits we shouldn't cross.I know people disagree with me on this, but I do think we shud not take our friends for granted and we should make the effort at it.Every relation ship needs an effort so does a friendship.

Aree.. maine kab kaha ki yeh movie review hai..but the things that you described were so true and apart from that it made me remember the movie and the things that were associated with it when i saw it for the first time.. my frnz... Infact, when we discussed the movie, we found, al three of us had somehtin similar to these characters.. sounds weird.huh? tell me about it...

the closest match to my characteristics was Sameer(Saif)..hehe

N the limit that they talked about.. its something unsaid and something which has always existed....*touchwood*
