Absence and the heart!

It's the season for the reds and the greens, the mistletoes and hollies, the chocolates and cakes and the beginning of a whole new eventful year.

Breaks from schools and colleges are mandatory and mostly looked forward to at this time. Nevertheless, our bunch of Randoms has found the depth and the magnitude behind the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". Now, now, we aren't getting mushy here. All it takes is one, sarcastic member of said group to vanish amongst the backwaters, and the remaining three start with the 'Where are you?' writings.

Normally, this adage will be attributed to estranged lovers who eventually find themselves and fall in love all over again. BORING. But in our case, it's a whole world different. A relief break form taxing, over bearing profs as much as needed has also shown to us that distance from friends can also make your heart grow a tad bit more mushy than you'd like. I'm sure all you guys would agree with me on this.

It's not that we need to see each other everyday, meet on a regular basis or talk on till the wee hours of the morning. It's knowing that the person is going to be there when you need them at a phone call's distance that makes this relationship all the more worthwhile to have. Having said this, i would also like to establish that people when bored are not always this rational in their thinking. Sure, it's a given that we will be there for the others, but that doesn't mean that one can go on a vacation, other to cycle everyday and break a bone or sprain a muscle, another to oversee construction work and another to just be busy doing god knows what!

We need the everyday quarrels, tripping on each other and just having mind blowing conversations that are unimaginable to a common man. Not to discredit the various social networking sites that have made this possible, but there is nothing like the physical presence of the person that gives even the smallest of tasks the greatest of pleasures.

Miss you randoms!
