What we think of friendships, and how they turn out, is something I've realised we can never predict.
Also, because you have to keep putting effort into it all through. You cant take any relationship for granted, no matter how old it is. So how we treat each other 'now' keeps it going...not just what we once were to each other...

Apu, I knew you'd get it, inspite of all the ragging! You're right when you say relationships take effort - as you were when you said three years back that if I'm not getting anything from that friendship, it is ok to cut it off. I am not such a saddo after all, eh? :) ps: I did wonder about your increased presence here!

Oh sweetie! ofcourse broken friendship can be mended and trust me with the passage of time everything will be better than before...its true that in our lives, we fail to reach out to our friends when they need us but that doesnt signify that the friendship is no more...am sure your friend must have felt the similar pain like u...believe in friendship and forget all that has happened in the past..start off everything afresh and in case you need some ideas..you can always drop by my blog..see ya!

It is just that people change with time and with that their priorities change too.
Another thing is that the differences (or rather uniqueness) often manifest very visibly when erstwhile friends begin to live in environment different from ours.
The result? The once non-stop chatterers end up saying "what else?"

Cosmic voices: It isn't the lack of anything to say I am talking about. I'd suggest you read the post once more to get my point.

I was just trying to speculate why people drift from my experiences.
Silence is just one of the symptoms of changing relationships. In my experience, often the first one.

Oh dear! all I can say is the best way to deal with the harsh realities that life brings your way is to smile at it and take it in your stride and move on. Anyways, do keep faith in your friendship coz what remains more than friends are the golden memories that we built around our friendship. Do drop by my blog coz I have shared many thoughts on friends and friendship.
