Lesson learnt. Don't gloat too early. In fact don't gloat at all. Friends made, can be friends lost. It's the work of a dependent, and convenience-seeking mind to associate meaning with people in his life. Friendships can be enjoyed, love can be indulged in, but this is the extent of that. The day you gloat, the day you depend too much, the day you think they have always got your back, is the day you pave your way for the possibility of being emotionally crippled without them. Now, there are some people who have got your back. (Litmus test : They won't feel a sting if they got to know such thoughts of yours ). People you can have fights with and it doesn't matter the next day. The unquestionable relations. The undeniable truths staring in your face. But friends? ha! what do i know of friends. The companionship to make your time pass easily? The people who would have been with other people had you not sat together on the same desk on a random day?  And really we are supposed to let these intellectually constipated, self-centered people grow on us? We will let ourselves do that in fear of being alone?? and one day we will come to love them , call them 'friends' and see them as something they are not? And when they change and the things you said about them, or believed about them, or loved about them will only be thrown back in your face by your loneliness.

I wanna say. Don't gloat but if you have to gloat at all, don't gloat prematurely. Because things change. and people change.
