In Rediff’s review<\/a> of Kai Po Che, there’s a line that goes “Quoting from Bollywood, impromptu excursions and taking each other for granted without guilt is the prerogative of buddy-dom<\/em>,…” That’s probably arguable, but if it is right, I now understand why my buddy count has been low since inception.<\/p>\n

The first – excursions – I think, can be handled. That’s despite my obsession with planning<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42 The second is a completely different story though. I hate taking people for granted and if I end up doing it and realising it later, I get guilt pangs even after apologising.
