The Lone Warrior!!!

How one can survive without friends in this world? I have come across so many cliches about "friends" but to experience a day without friends, was a nightmare and it made me realize how true those sayings are.

Chilly winds breezed past me, reminding me every time of my loneliness. With most of its inmates returning to their homes; this time with a sense of relief of having a job with them, the Homi Bhaba Hall seemed no less than a "Purani Haveli". It was so torturous that even when you open "dc" you can't find many users. And to make matters worse, there was no mess either. You don't feel like going to the 'backpost' when there are no friends to accompany you (especially when you are bankrupt and you need someone to sponsor you).

It made me miss my friends a lot more than I had ever. There was no one who would knock your door at night asking for water!!! I didn't have my friends who would usually come at 1:30 am to watch a movie, nevertheless the movie dosage works perfectly well to induce sound sleep. Even sleep betrays you in this situation. It is at this time that you yearn to sleep, but Mr.Sleep gives you the appointment only during examinations (reminds me of cryptography and safety exams). The A-bottom appeared a mere passage to HELL and me being the lone inhabitant in it. The A-mid was as silent as "crowded" it used to be. The "BZ" was nowhere to be seen.

Amidst all this, there was something to pacify my situation, my laptop and the ever friendly gtalk. Talking to my school friends always gives me a lot of pleasure. But this horrible night, I had none to talk to. Add to my misery my cell had no balance.

The cool breeze outside my room making a characteristic sound with droplets of water sprinkling through my window was the only thing that I could enjoy. But when prolonged, it roused scary things in mind than pleasure. For the first time at NIT, I had nothing to do and no one to talk to-a strange experience for someone who has cherished his hostel life all through. I wished I could move out of this place.

You may land up at any place, but if you don't have friends you are lost. That day was a forgettable one for me. Yet it made me realize: a day without friends makes you feel like a lone warrior. You are in a battle all yourself with none at your side and all the negative vibes confronting you like fearsome opponents. Loneliness is an enemy. When you don't have friends by your side, it gathers more soldiers against you as in 'boredom', 'fear' and 'restlessness'. Solitude is a misery for those who understand the value that company of friends add to their lives.
