F.R.I.E.N.D.S


A random day in college. I had made a new F.R.I.E.N.D. who went on to become one of the very special ones. That day I asked her “so what are you doing?” After 2-3 minutes I got a reply saying “watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S”. I asked ‘’what’s so special about that show”? I had noticed so many people in college were watching it. She replied “watch it yourself to get the answer”. Well, I ignored the advice. And it took me five years to realize why that F.R.I.E.N.D. never advised me to watch any other TV series ( as this was her way to punish me for ignoring her advice).  Time moved on. After watching some of the very fine TV series/movies and reading some of the good books, I thought what could be more entertaining than these. Answer again came in form of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. This time I did not avoid the advice. So on one fine evening I started watching this show. What I experienced in next few months is probably the finest piece of entertainment I will ever witness.  I never realized how this show became such a wonderful part of my daily routine. The addiction had grown to an extent that every morning I wake up half an hour early so as to watch one episode before leaving for work. Thus ensuring no matter how bad the rest of the day goes, atleast 25 minutes will be full of laughter, some quality laughter! And I must admit that I have finally got an answer that what’s so special about this show. Anyways now 10 seasons are over. So, what I am going to do next? Well, I guess now I am gonna get an answer to another question. I will now get to know why people re-watch it! And I am sure I will soon get an answer to question that why people re-watch it after re-watching it and why they never get tired of it! F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for life!
