On a Saturday morning, I was humming the lines of the title score of the most popular TV series F.R.I.E.N.D.S and it was something like this-
"You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.
You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great.
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these,
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees."
I would say Ohhh Myyyy Gaaaad obviously mimicking the nasal touch of "I Hate Most" Jenice. I mean how these four lines have painted the true picture of life without even using a single stroke of philosophy. In the past 1 month, I started watching this TV series, I still wonder why I haven't watched it in my college or during the 5 years of my professional life. It has always been there with me. Many of my friends suggested me that I should join them as they used to discuss about it all the time but I never watched a single episode of it.
I think I didn't watched it previously as I was in my own central perk kind of place all these years, surrounded by my circle of trust. People like Chandler, Joey, Monica and Ross were surely there if not Phoebes or Rachel.
God doesn't give you a chance to choose your relatives as he thinks its his main job but he makes up with you by giving a chance to choose your friends. So, you choose friends who laugh with you and sometimes laugh at you, who not only listen to your woes but also understands them, they don't promise to solve your problems as they have their own conundrums in life bu
t they stands with you , they don't have perfect answers for all your questions. However, just the thought of their presence makes you feel better.
So, when I moved out of my cocoon and left all my friends behind, I started watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and while all my friends must have been busy with lives and grappling to come as winners in their respective areas, I just prefer to sit by my window and hum the lines
"That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too."
"You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.

FRIENDS have been a great series and even though it is based in NY and some of may not be relevant to us, Indians, it still connects with people from around the world. There is something about friendship that is universal.
@Ricky,
So true that there is something universal about friendship. Though some part of this series may not suit the indian viewers mindset but the spirit of friendship is same as all over the world
