When a person turns adult, i.e. crosses adolescent phase, the ability to make friends gets developed and we mostly have found out the ones who will always be by our side be it any situation. Meaning of word "friend" changes with change in the age group of a person, as he gets to more and more in life, as the domain of his knowledge and responsibilities expand and it's no denying fact that friends are no less than family, not all of them but special ones. We can share what's going in our lives truly with them as there is a compatibility, have had past experiences of our own and there is no generation gap and major age difference between us. They can listen to you in a very relatable way and thus really act as unshakably strong pillars of support to us.

As the title "phone a friend" says, this article is all about the day to day convos we make with our friends to feel rejuvenated and connected like the good old days.

Workplace fiasco :

Mess ups at workplaces are generally not appreciated and they are really many eyes looking up to you in case you mess up. You have a professional image over there to keep but mess ups are kind of inevitable. After a fiasco like unsuccessful meeting, a word with boss, not standing up to expectations etcetera, we always need our guy who would hear all of this and telling our thing to them means no judgement, cheerful remarks and exchange of happy & cheerful past times. It really rejuvenates and generous suggestions help us to improve and get boosted up for work.

Achievements :

Be it any achievement : promotion, raise, decision to marry your college love, foreign trip, patent on your name or any big news, it's incomplete till your "always by your side guy" knows it all. It gives a sense of immense satisfaction to share all your experience with them and when it's something rejoicing, phone calls add to its value by warm and thoughtful wishes.

Wellbeing and whatabouts :

When you are no more in school or college, you can't meet daily and probably can't talk daily too, you call your homie out of concern and just to know what they are up to lately. It always becomes a cheering or caring exchange and you feel connected and also, you express how you feel when they are not around anymore like earlier. Also, a call in needy days is like rain in summer and it makes you confident of the support system you have in your life.

Long time no see :

Talking over about how you haven't met in a long time and planning a trip to relive the old times is always the best thing. Though I can't say it with solid experience as I am only transitioning to work life but I have had my experiences of staying away from friends for months in lockdown and then meeting them. It really fills us with happiness and feel of belongingness.

Decisions & Suggestions :

When we need to take important decisions in our life, we always want our truest advisor on our side and in many of the cases, they are none other than our sweet friends sitting a call away. We open up to them, tell them our thought process which they already are familiar of and ask for their opinions. Why is it so? Why do their advice matter? It's because they have been with you in past and there was something which kept you connected till date, they know you. They can judge you righteously and can also be the source of constructive criticism if needed. They have an analysis of your strengths like none other and they can really be assets. Many of you might already have faced such situations and have got precious advices in making your big decisions from your dearests.

Pretty much everything :

Sooner or later, you have a call and you take it all out. Be it frustration, joy, sorrow, heart break, job or anything, you tend to say it to them as they are the one who care and phone calls are really one of the marvelous inventions of human beings. It's really awesome "how unwired phones keeps us wired" and we can always reach over loved once.

Keep sharing with your lovely friends and enjoy in high spirits. Value your friend's opinions too and be there for them when they need you.

With lots of love and best wishes,

Thanks for reading!!!
