ode to 4lyferz

today's post is dedicated to my dear friends who have single-handedly pushed me to log on to my blog again.

kya likhungi? wo to nai pta.

let's relive college.

first day: 

koi kuch idea nhi kaise mai college pohach gyi. 

7.30 am ki class me mai entry li 9.00 am. great start. 

ek seat khali mil gyi. tried talking to the girl beside me but wo phone me busy thi. gave up.

jaise hi class khatam hui, mai bhaag nikli. auto pakad ke train then by 12.00 ghar thi.

first few days aise hi nikal gye. dost banane ki koshish ki but koi dhang ka mila nai. fir maine soch liya ki college to ab mujhe akele nikalna padega. depression. 

fast forward to the end of first semester and guess what? mere friends ban gye the. kisne socha hoga.

us din ko 4 saal hogye hai and we are as tight as ever and in fact we're only getting closer.

maine apne lifetime me bohot schools switch kiye hai and also experienced all kinds of friend groups. but aise kinda of friendship pehli baar bani. genuine is the word. 

4lyferz, we call ourselves.

the name was, of course, my idea (haha). not very original. but it has stuck in a way that it now feels original. to us.

it started with a joint instagram account where we posted our group pictures, which then expanded into reels and became our brand from that point on.

the aspect of our friend-group that i genuinely treasure is how, we, each play our roles very well. not that there's anything assigned. obviously haha. we're chill people!

our peace lies in harmony. which i've learned is the very important in friendship and, yet, gets overlooked too often. and then they wonder where everything went wrong. sigh. 

allow me to introduce: 4lyferz

tagline: ..... um we don't have one :(

members, in alphabetical order: Aashija, Divya, Saba (me), Shreya.

Aashija

she's passionate. about quite literally everything and anything. which is the complete opposite of me so she inspires me a lot. yes-man. i could ask her for anything and she always gets it done. i believe she treasures our friendship and keeps it alive in her own way. she expresses her feelings very well, be it through words or actions.

Divya

very high eq. she is definitely the most emotionally intelligent among us. she handles any/every almost argument or fight we've had with maturity and in a calm manner. i felt like i could learn from it. if there was a 'mom of the group' it would be her. she's kind and always pushes us to do our best. 

Saba

ahhhhh ummmmm well i'm not writing a love letter to myself!

Shreya

the pillar. i always felt like i could tell her things without any judgement. she's selfless. she works hard in silence and sometimes even struggles by herself. yet, she always offers her help whenever we need it. personality-wise i think we might be the closest. hence, i've always felt a connection with her. 

that's all, my friends, signing off.
