Machha[dude]: No da, I know them, they are just friends.
X: Sure man, “just friends”, ha, like I was born yesterday, remember when W and….[blah blah blah yada yada gossip gossip]
Is being romantically involved with someone any superior to being a friend?. Why do they say “Just Friends”. Is it odd/bad/substandard/second rate to have a good/best friend of the opposite sex?.
What is more difficult, to give in to your hormones and confess undying love to the next girl who give you more time than the other, or use the right organ (Hint: Situated in a bony enclosure, seldom used) and develop a clean and open friendship.
Say “He/She is my friend”.
You know what the worst bit is?, when people in a budding relationship have no clue what they are in for, or what their status is, they use this same description “We are just friends”. And in a month or a year, when the buds of romance bloom everyone gets a right to do a “I knew it, all this “Just Friends” business is a bahana[excuse]…..”. So, be kind budding romeo’s, and If some one asks, and you dont know what’s happening, say “I don’t know yet”, or ask them to mind their own bloody business.

i sometimes wonder whether it is a crime to have close male friends.i’ve been at the recieving end of that question,”so what’s going on, eh?”. its so damn irritating.i usually resort to the second option-mind your bloody business.

Why you chose the nick “Schizo?”
You and I have a lot in common. I am practicing internist, a blogger, a feeling person, with similar taste in things. I am not desi, but married to one.
My blog is generally interesting and I was getting a lot of visits, but temporarily I have archived everything away because of heart break. My blog has been revolving around the object of my affection, who reads it and sometimes reposts the things on her blog; it was eating me up too much; but I will reload at some point.
