Some friends...

Well this ones a tribute...to some ppl who hv become an unseparable part of my life...i hv never met ths guys nor talkd with them...i dont know wat they r like in real life...and thrs no possibility i'll ever get the chance to know much of tht...and yet, i know them so well, its like we have been togethr since times immemorial....
I know thr lives inside out...i know thr likes and dislikes better than them probably...I can predict with extreme precision how any of them will react in a situation...i hv seen them grow up frm a bunch of raw,youthful 24 year olds to mature,responsible and yet, great individuals...thr's has certainly been an eventful life...with crests and troughs all along...i have laughed with them,cried with them,been a part of thr greatest moments,shared thr sorrows,enjoyed thr banter,loved thr ways,admired thr frndship,longed to b a part of thr grp...in fact, its not just me, millions all over the world hv felt the same thng...about the best grp ever....ya u guessed it rit-Joey,Ross,Chandler,Monica,Rachel and Phoebe...the original F.R.I.E.N.D.S :)

This post is not going to be a review of the sitcom...thrs plenty of those on the internet...instead i just wish to say a few words abt all of 'my frnds'...

Joey: A nobler soul never existed...hes the sweetest of the lot and arguably the one who evokes the most laughter...hes dumb,yes-and tht contributes a lot to the sweetness-but hes the most charming and understanding of the six,who'll do anythng for his frnds...an who can forget tht famous pick up line....'How you doin'?' :)

Ross: A victim of circumstances, Ross is the most relatable character of the series...hes at the receiving end of a lot of the 'happenings' throughout the 10 seasons...and his reaction to it all is what makes him so endearing...basically a good guy at heart, weird in his own way, and probably the most responsible of the group, Ross reminds us why we are all human...

Chandler: What wud Friends b without Chandler? And life without humor? The wittiest of the lot, Chandler represents the triumph of human spirit over everything else...hes hd the toughest early years and probably thts wat drives him to the humor...nevertheless, Chandler is also the one who grows most through the 10 yrs...and by the end of the series,u cant really believ hes the same guy who forgot baby Ben on the bus in the 2nd season...The 'funnest' of the lot...

Monica: A stickler for cleanliness and perfection,Monica evokes mirth lik no othr female on the show...but her caring persona overshadows her scrappy nature and shes like the caretaker of the lot...her constant need to b the hostess,her bickering and bossing over Chandler,her spick-and-span ways,her fatsuit scenes frm childhood,her competitive streak,her delicious meals....they al make her a darling wit the othrs...and us!

Rachel: Unarguably, the most good-looking character on frnds, Rachel is played to perfection by Jennifer Anniston.... The apple of Ross's eye, Rachel sets up some of the funniest moments in Friends...Most of the special appearances are in some way linked to her character...be it Brad Pitt,Bruce Willis,Christina Applegate or Reese Witherspoon...Her on-off relationship with Ross is one of the main plots in the series....She's bratty,snobbish,unrealistic and yet so likable...

Phoebe: She hs the distinction of being the weirdest of the lot....strong competition frm Ross and Monica notwithstanding... :) Phoebe makes us laugh in her own strange way...with her 'smelly cat' renditions and her freakiest takes on life! Her relationships with David and later,Mike, are the most emotional and romantic...She may seem a weirdo on the outside,but inside she's jus a little girl,who's missed so much in her childhood....

These guys left us all in 2004 and have never returned since...altho thr wonderful memories continue to reign supreme in millions of hearts and on numerous channels...Thr hd been a rumor of a Friends movie lately...hope it happens AND happens with a good plot and script :)
Here's wishing FRIENDS immortality and harmony forever....
