An open letter to all my friends I am failing to keep in touch with…
Dear buddies,
Well, first of all I know I am a terrible person - for not chatting on Whatsapp groups or just plainly replying to your text messages, or not calling you just to ask how your life has been…
A big sorry for all of that! But for me ‘Writing triggers writing’.
Today morning, I received this heartfelt note and dark chocolate bar from a very dear friend, which made me introspect my behaviour. Well, this isn’t an apology letter or an explanation for my behaviour – because I know my friends will never expect that.
It is just something I always want to tell and just fail at conveying it. Well, I can now be successfully categorized into the group of ‘non-socials’ – google it and you’ll be like hell yeah!
I am not much of a chatting kind of a person – and the reasons are…I enjoy reading what others are writing, I am too lazy to type the message and I know just a single emoticon would add no value to message.
Hence no message.
I really lack the social skills - where I have to wish you all for Diwali, New year, Christmas, Dussehra…I mean I would love to eat Faral and celebrate new years’ with you instead of messages. And you cant blame me – I wish you all on the birthdays – though not cliched 12:00 AM…I CALL YOU AND WISH YOU!!! I know this cannot be an excuse.
I would love to call you – and speak about anything – but you know me I am a very uncreative person who immediately runs out of topics.
But all I want to say is – even if I am not messaging you or calling you, I am missing you and I am always just a call away. You call me and I am there to fix your punctured tyre, to have tea with you at 2:00 PM, to find your lost wallet at midnight, change the telephone bills, to help you move back from a place, to rant about someone at 3:00 AM….trust me..and you know it…I am up for all!!!
So you get my point, right?
This isn’t supposed to be a tearful letter or anything...just something I always wanted to tell my friends. While I am failing this social norm of keeping in touch – Well, I am just telling you I am not!
So basically I am like the dark chocolate my friend gave me – bittersweet – mostly bitter but with a tinge of sweetness! :P
So, with all our routines messing up..I'll try my best to keep in touch..that’s it! :)
Your familiar stranger,
Susmita
