How do we make friends???

 Have you ever had to choose people as your friends?? Oh, she is so pretty or he is too smart and that's why we are "best" friends!!! I haven't heard anyone say that.. And none of us would want to hear it either!!!!

I always ask my best friend "so how did we become such good friends??" or "what brought us this close??" and the answer would always be "I don't know!!! don't you have something better to do?? or Who knows!!! By the way, did I tell you, she just messaged me asking if I've reached,am sure she does like me!!! ".  I would push away the thought momentarily, but would always ponder over the question. And the other day when my sister brought the topic of friends, I started thinking about it again.

Sometimes it so happens that your best friend is not the one you hang around with. In my case, my best pals are the ones whom I get to meet only once in a couple of months or may be years!!!! But still a happy news or a terrible problem or a stupid gossip reaches out to that person. Thanks to the technology that keeps us connected.

When I asked one of my classmates' about this, she said, "Hmmm may be we share the same frequency" and one of my other friends pointed out "oh we have the same wavelength"... Oomph!!! guys enough of this wavelength, frequency, amplitude and other "technical" terms, that's the classic answer the whole world gives.Tell me something interesting.

Those may be the reasons why you started talking to that person but not necessarily the reason that brought the closeness or an intense affection. In fact my choices have always been totally contradicting to those of my friend's.
The one person who doesn't expect you to change or compromise your own self or rather who just accept your nature eventually turn out to be your friends. They complain but who wouldn't want you to change your self for anything in this world. They totally love and enjoy your uniqueness. And oh! you wouldn't stand any change in them either. To be more simple, "an unconditional" love that you get is what friendship is.

But  I am still pondering over the question "how did I find THE friend in you??"
So how did you find yours??

**Dedicated to my best friends. Miss you guys so much!!!
