Dostii kii Kasam... Or friendship that never was?

They say that when one door closes, another opens.But no amount of open doors can keep u from thinking wistfully, with longing,an ache in ur mind,a scar in ur soul that refuses to heal, about the closed doors. And no amount of closed doors can scare u away from stepping into that unknown , uncertain world that another open door offers.

Thus I got this new friend today. Though we have met a couple of times earlier,we got a chance to get to know each other only recently, thanks to the film fair organising committee meetings. A father of 2 kids, something abt him reminds me of my own dad, though I cant put my finger on what it is.God please let him still be my friend in my old age (if at all I reach that age)!

And this man brings to my mind this dear friend from whom I have to keep my distance ( atleast for the time being) so that he wud still be my frind, and this other great friend who left me for...oh for what reason I know not. Not that I ever stop thinking of either of these gentlemen.Still...Oh Dickinson:

They say that "time assuages," -
Time never did assuage;
An actual suffering strengthens,
As sinews do, with age.

Time is a test of trouble,
But not a remedy.
If such it prove,it prove too
There was no malady.
