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

Yesterday, there was a poll on Instagram about a background running the show. The answer was simple for me. I can work, take a bath, play a game, or be in a cab and still hear the sound of the popular TV show – FRIENDS. I have the talent of writing my manuscript listening to the FRIENDS podcast on Spotify. When I started living in Delhi, I made Netflix my partner in crime. My workplace sucked, I hated the place, but I couldn’t do much about it. I fell in love with someone who would never fall for me. My mood was sour all day. FRIENDS was the only show which brought back a smile to my face. I have watched the shows on repeat. Any day, any episode would bring peace to my effed-up mind. The show has made me happy and sad at the same time. I missed my friends a lot every time while I watched the show.
Recently, I have reached the episode where Chandler proposes to Monica. I just realized that there would never be a Chandler in my life. There won’t be a person who would go down on his knees and make that epic proposal. There won’t be a person who would fear losing me. Do you know why there are no cult shows like FRIENDS? In the real world, people have stopped caring about each other. Love has lost its definition in the generation of Tinder and Hinge. You fall in love with the character in the show. Trust me; I have never loved any character more than Chandler. I don’t want to know if Matthew Perry was addicted to drugs during the filming of FRIENDS. I want to believe that back in the 90’s when Chandler was proposing to Monica everyone was sobbing.
