It's a notion that we all think - Friendships and close friends are all made in school and college. As we grow older in life, we feel we just cannot make great friends. But it is not always, or should I say at least in my case. I do have my closest friends from years and I can proudly say we have survived the test of times very well. Practically grown together, all of us are extremely close and attached. But that is not what this blog is about.
A few years back, I went to a gym which was close to my work place. The idea being I could come straight from work and exercise and I would clock in five days a week. So I joined and started coming straight from work. Well, I was the only one who used to go that far to the gym and most of them their were from the same vicinity. But that didn't deter my spirit. Since I used to hit the gym straight from work, I would have my make up on - which primarily consisted of only Kohl and Lipstick - to be precise Pink Lipstick. One evening as I was running on the treadmill, I saw another girl at the gym with the exact lipstick as mine. To say I was immensely pleased is an understatement. We both looked at each other and smiled. I got off my treadmill and walked up to her and started chatting. It was the most amazing connection and we knew right then that we would be friends for life. Not only did I strike a lovely friendship, but found beautiful company as well to gym together. To top it, we had the same trainer who for reason thought we were sisters- could be because of the lipstick.
It's been almost five years and we share the same amazing friendship. So whoever said friends don't happen later in life are absolutely mistaken. We find and make friends in the most unexpected places, like how I found a great friend in the gym.
