Bond of Sisterhood...

Of late, I have been contemplating about life... the bygone and the yet-to-come...!!! Life has been, so far, quite happening... complete with ...lows and highs; success and defeats; beginnings and endings..!!

The highs have given me wings, success the horizon and beginnings the hope...!! Definitely I have also had my share of lows, defeats and ends... but thankfully God has always been looking over me...!! I am definitely blessed to have a wonderful family... which is my support system...!! But apart from the family ... I have also had some great friends... specifically my girl friends... who have stood with me through the thick and thin!!

I make friends easily... and definitely I don’t have a gender bias when I make friends... :) In fact I have lots of friends who are male... but the camaraderie that I share with my girl friends is special...!! And I thank each of them... for being there for me... and for making my life special...!!

The friendship that a girl shares with another girl is different... it is almost too hard to explain... it is a bond that cannot be replaced by anything else!! We are bound in this relationship by similar emotions, expectations, apprehensions, ambitions and dreams...!!

Men and women are very different from each other... in their communication styles, in their emotional needs and in their reactions under stress...!! It is always easier for a woman to understand another woman’s expectation in correct perspective...!! We are at the same page when we discuss love, life, ambition, expectation, anger, frustration and admiration.

It is not that we do not have fights... or that we aren’t jealous... but what I am talking about is that we speak and appreciate the same language - the language that belongs to the sisterhood - and that it is easier for a woman to connect with another women... to get the correct perspective... and to have similar emotional quotient... and that we talk at the same wavelength... of emotion... of strength... of fear... of apprehension and of character...!!

Nice... funny enough...I have just started to read this book Pratiti gifted to me,,, 'Why men don't listen and women can't read maps'....so whatever you have written does make a lot of sense!
Acknowledging friends from time to time is rather important!
