Every acquaintance cannot be called a friend. Neither can every friend be given the status of 'best' or 'close'. The transition from one level to another is gradual and time consuming. Faith, trust and patience are our initial capital investments. When emotions are shared, bonds are formed. When ideas are exchanged, mutual growth occurs. When point of views are aired, respect is earned and opinions start to count. When feelings turn deep, love blossoms. When sensitivities are understood, the souls connect and their alliance turns divine. This is how a friendship or for that matter any relationship evolves. One cannot rush into it. If one does by giving it a name, then it's doubt worthy.

For any friendship to blossom, a pinch of attraction and an ounce of magic are vital ingredients. Only then can it's fragrance be mesmerizing. Consistency is utmost important for them to thrive and transform from ordinary to beautiful.

Friendships happen. They are not planned and neither is there time for confirming facts or examining details. People necessarily don't have noble intentions always. Hence, one has to be careful while signing up for new bonds. Randomly running into people, getting excited in heat of the moment, singing songs of praise and declaring them as 'sweet' and 'nice' is definitely not the way ! The longevity and equilibrium of such an equation becomes questionable. A strong foundation of highest quality is required to sustain the emotional rigours of/in any friendship. It is investing in a lost cause otherwise and hurting our self if any gray areas are exposed.

When our threads of trust and belief are severed, we deny ourselves a permission to restart. When our eyes are laced with ribbons of doubt and uncertainity , we deny ourselves an oppurtunity to meet a genuine person and forfeit a potential friendship.... a beautiful relationship.
