Everyone is divided into categories, albeit with different parameters each time. You have the racial categorisation, according to skin tone, according to what you study, according to what you like and even, if you go by a joke, according to whether you understand binary or not ! The Government even has us divided on the basis of what our ancestors' surnames were. So I thought to myself, when everyone is categorising people, why the hell should I be left behind ? To make it more general, I finally decided that there are 3 types of people in the world...
TYPE B :: Those you do care about but who don't give a rat's ass about you.
TYPE C :: Those you do give a rat's ass about and they do the same.
Now Type A is the general category of life. Most people you know fall into that category and so do you when it comes to someone else. That may sound harsh but none of us is a Mother Teresa or a Mahatma Gandhi, so its true. You couldn't care less and you know it.
So we come to the people that you do care about. Now my little wide-eyed children, the fact of the matter is that most people on this category put you in their own Type A... and though it may hurt you to know this, these people are those you put in Type B.
"And Type C ?", you ask. Well this is where you have the least number of people and these are the people that you should give priority to. Always. These people are the most difficult to find but once you do, you are richer for it.
On a personal level, I've sort of realised that those people I'd put in type c sortof categorised themselves. What I probably mean is that you don't make such friends, you become such friends. And theres a huge HUGE difference in making friends and becoming friends. If you try to be friends with someone, they are most likely to end up in as a type B... but when you just sort of become friends thats usually when they end up in type C. I've made a lot of friends and aquaintances but I've realised that when it comes to certain people though I am prepared to go that extra mile for them, they may not be willing to do the same for me. Which in turn made me realise how valuable those people are who will.
I think the aim should be to kick those in type B to A because those are the ones that will let you down. And thats not through any fault of theirs, its because you expected too much where you shouldn't have expected at all.
Well this post is dedicated to all those people in type C. I feel priviledged to have met you and to be your friend. Thank You. :)

what i like about ur blog is the variety of topics u write on...
and a great classification of friends and the toughest thing in our life is to identify the type-B people whom sometime we consider as type-C.
the people whom i hate the most are those who are in type-B and try to show that they r in C. they are really dangerous..
ur dp in fb though,makes me feel am in type A :| ;)
n yeah ..the post is typically 'protik'
the kinda a guy who is "urinating" on the world with a snigger on his face,..showing the back of longest digits of his both hands ;):P
"a guy who is "urinating" on the world with a snigger on his face" !!! hahaha aisa kahan hoon bey ?
abey mera DP mein TUM hai...soch raha hai ! tumlog toh c types mein aata hai !
kaps se pooch..he'll agree :)
Beautiful!!!
It's a pity that we do end up focusing much more on Type B people than the Type C ones. And yes, it's true that the best friendships are not made, they just *happen*.
I have a theory, the more the number of people in your Type A, the more successful you are likely to be...inverse is true too...
@arka
so true
@shirshesh
actually the inverse of what you said is more true... :)
arz kiya hai..
"main jugnu hoon, mujhe jugnu hi rehne de mere maula....

acchha likha hai aur haan yaar prateek ka 2nd comment bhi acchha hai. anyways mereko type c me rakha hai ya woh is post pe depend karta hai
hypothetically Bapat's comment on this post-..abbey why rat's ass..why not ant's ass ??
hahaha bapat god hai... !!
btw puchku ledi hai.
aahh..thanks :P
n ledi...PUCHKU!!??..ha ha ha ha :D
yea well this post is typical protik... no doubt...
but anyways well written...
it is a fact of irony that the ppl of type B are the ppl we hate most... cos knowing the fact that they don't give a rat's ass about you, you still manage to care about them...
but the fact is your job is to get ppl into type B... going from type B to type C, completely depends on the other guy... u can jus hope for that...
"And there's a huge HUGE difference in making friends and becoming friends".. SUPERB
The civilizations constantly creates illusions, sometimes for others, sometimes for themselves and yet sometimes for others but they themselves get trapped ..CIVIL Society is different from different eyes.
