Katta Friend's


When we associate with different set of people on daily basis coming in all sizes and shapes with unlike mentality, we call them friends. We become friends with a person because of the qualities we find in them suites our temperament and we term it as “sharing same frequency or the same chemistry”, but there are also differences. The key to open up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but is also to embrace those differences without judging them.

We are always told to develop a good friend circle and formation of this circle totally depends on each one of us if we understand the precincts of it. Every individual looks forward to receive respect even in friendship and harsh moments are to be forgiven and forgotten to sustain this relation.

This blog didn’t take several hours of thinking nor is it an imaginary story but is closely associated to my heart that speaks about my experience – my introduction to term FRIENDS and more.

Alike friends the hang-out place where they meet, where they share common interests play important role. Year after year to fulfill that commitment of meeting at a designated place, sharp at a given time also holds the key to such relationships. Well, they might just meet to pull each other’s leg or maybe to enjoy company but this meeting place aka “KATTA”, only if it could speak can narrate never-ending story of friends and their stunts.

This blog is dedicated to all my Katta friends who now, are deeply engrossed in their daily chores unable to find time just to say ‘Hi’ … cheers to those friends and their friendship for gifting such fond memories...

  1. Could not agree more with you dear friend, the RAT RACE of life as taken simple luxuries of life away. I am not defending the people who don’t get time to even say ‘HI’ to their old friends, but it is the reality of this big bad world and no one has been able to break free these shackles as of now. All need someone to make them feel that they are missing their old buddies. Thanks for being the same for us. Let’s start again to share old memories and create new along.

  2. hmmmm......
    well i think i will not agree to this....
    there are loads of assignments and heck of the
    jobs that are totally crunching the life out of lives everyday...but only thing that helps u not be a 'mechanical robot' is your own good old 'KATTA'...most of the people are grown up, busy and worst part is married now... ;-)
    even though u should find some time out of ur regular routine...stay away from ur home, ur loved ones, ur family atleast half an hr everyday...spend sometime with aimless chit-chatting and meaningless laughing...i dont believe in laughter clubs...u got to smile/laugh forcefully there...but coming on 'katta' makes u laugh, within...!
    i do agree that everybody has his own responsibilities towards his wife/husband, jobs, ambitions etc and spend quality time with the better halves...but not the whole time...u should have sometime for your friends...try not talking about your achievements, office tensions, politics at workplace and u'll be more refreshed....why blame the friends who are meeting everyday for no reason..just because some of the guys are quality conscious about the guys around katta...i think it's really unfair to talk wrong things about your friends if you yourself are not taking any steps forward to go and say 'Hi!' to them (personally...not online)...take a initiative and start meeting them...organise get togethers...answer their sms's...keep your ego's aside...memorize your good old days and make a new start...you may be surprised to know that it was 'U' who is not getting involved in everyday 'katta' activities...
    all the best my friend !!! long live katta !!

  3. Let me start with HI katta friends, especially Amit (Thakya).

    Amit your blog is very well written except the last paragraph. Remove it immediatly. I also dont agree to that statement of yours. We are meeting daily at a place you know that very well. It's ok that everyone is busy but still we find time to meet everyday and do all the bakwaas (not just Hi) as long as we can. There are also some married people visit everyday and there are also some non-smokers visit the place. I think you are still missing a lot fun and quality time there. Anyways, we also miss all your PJ's and catches.

    So think about it and start coming to katta everyday or at least try to find some time for us. I know it's difficult but not impossible.

    Salya tula Indrakade jayala time asto, pan anna kade yayla nasto. How can you defend this now? Anna kade crowd gavthi asathe but at least we can sit back and relax for some time.

    Samya.

  5. Well I don't know if am entitled to reply to this blog about 'KATTA' but I have few thoughts that I share personally about the whole concept.

    As I was growing the one thing that I missed (partly due to my own restrictions and partly other) was place like KATTA for you guys. I grew up idolizing this whole concept, always thinking within me that its one thing that I am missing more than anything. You guys and your KATTA was a point to be proud of and also a point of jealousy for me for I knew that its one thing I lack in my life.

    Most of the content of this blog by Amit, at least the first part of it, symbolizes the love that you guys share in that common umbrella of KATTA. Words that I am sure that all you guys would relate to. Some way or the other you also wanted to express the same thing and that's the magic of the whole KATTA concept. For that sort of a relationship I salute to all you guys.

    As far as the last part is concerned, which I know there are some disagreements on, I think that just is an extra added feeling that one feels when there not anymore or for that matter less attachment to the KATTA. For me its says that, its one thing on this earth that person is missing really a lot. The reason to be estranged can be anything, i don't know, can be time, responsibilities, work, ego, lack of communication or anything. But what I want to say is that why not keep these issues aside and reach out for the people that you love and care about. Better said than done, but if not done then it continues the same way, but if done then all these negative feelings dilute automatically. I know it should be some effort from both the sides, but if we are friends, buddies, ghashtan mitra that all started at the KATTA, then why not do it again?
