Every Thursday my parents and thier friends meet up after dinner to catch up. They catch up, laugh, talk over snacks. These are all my parents childhood friends, years of togetherness. These are all my aunty uncles I have grown up with. They have been such an important part of my life, from all the festival celebrations to picnics to out of stations to dinners to every other get together they have been with me growing up….

They are such an amazing set of friends, has been with each other through all their thick and thin, I think a part of my life would be empty not having such wonderful fun-loving aunts and uncles. I don’t think I would have heard so much singling around if they where not there..as they have a habit to start singing at any occasion, I don’t think I would have known so many old song if it was not for them, I don’t think I would have grown up being such a filmi person as all my life I have heard them repeating dialogues of their favourite old films…I have learned so much from them…the spirt in which they stand by each other, the way they enjoy every small occasion, the enthusiasm  and warmth they have for each other…the selfless friendship they have set an example to us…the best part is thanks to them I have so many more close friends as all us kids are also very good friends….

I salute your friendship!!
