F.R.I.E.N.D.S
A few
minutes ago, I watched the last episode of 10th season of Friends. An
era has come to an end. I truly believe that whenever these seven alphabets
will be written in caps with a period separating them, it will boil down to
this single magnum opus. I can still feel my veins full of blood, my cheekbones
warm with adrenaline rush, my heart pounding and my emotions overwhelmed.
Initially, I used to scoff at my friends when they used to tell me about how
good this serial was. Now when this serial has exalted from a mere sitcom to an
addiction, I could do nothing but laugh at my stupidity. My mind was quite
preoccupied with undisputed grey matter of Michael Scofield and super human
capabilities of Jack Bauer. But now after watching Friends, who says that being
dumb isn't cool enough and who says that being exacting & neat-freak is
creepy ?? :-P It felt that each and every character was crafted with great
scrupulousness. Sarcasm has never been so titillating; neither do a “weirdo gal”
and a “science guy” roaming around, doing their antics and making stomachs
burst and eyes watery out of laughter.
The best
part of the serial is that it makes you feel very comfortable. It connects with
you instantly and leaves with you a feeling – “yeah, this is what friends do”.
We kick their asses, make the weirdest joke on them but stick close enough to
lend a helping hand in need whatsoever the situation is. Kudos to its creators for coming up with such a
great sitcom and in addition to that, maintaining its novelty in every single
episode for 10 long years.
Amidst all
the vicissitudes of life, it’s only the true friendship that stays constant.
Sometimes it is more comforting to look up to our friends for help that anyone
else in this world. Sometimes there are feelings we can share only with a few
hearts, cry only on a few shoulders, do bitching only with a few pursing lips,
stroll & stalk with only a few indefatigable legs and do outlandish stuffs
with only a few crazy bastards. That’s friendship. TV would never be same after
Friends. Thanks a ton guys for helping me understand friendship.
