Life eventually took them to different cities.
Aarav got a job overseas.
Kabir started working on independent films.
They no longer met every day.
Sometimes weeks passed without a conversation.
Yet whenever one called, the other answered.
When Aarav got engaged, Kabir flew across the country to attend.
When Kabir premiered his first documentary, Aarav surprised him by appearing in the audience.
The distance between them measured thousands of miles.
The distance in their friendship measured zero.
People often asked how they stayed so close.
Their answer was always the same:
"Friendship isn't about how often you meet. It's about knowing someone will always be there when you need them."
