9 Reasons Your Colony Friends Are Your Friends For Life
We all share a very special bond with friends who live next door. It’s an entirely different equation because these are those friends who have always been a part of your life. They were there when you started school, when you started college and when you got your first job. Read on as we give you 9 reasons why having friends in your neighborhood is the best thing ever.
1. All you need to do is ring their door bell.

Or stand outside their door and call out their name. The best thing is that you don’t need to call or text them; you can just walk up to their house and meet them whenever you want. In fact, you can meet them at an odd hour too. You know parents won't complain either because you are just going next door.
2. You always have company for an evening walk.

They are always up for going to the nearby market to have ice-cream. You've had morning, evening and afternoon walks with them. You have discussed everything under the sun during those long walks and there is no deadline to get back home by, so the walks only get better. You both have saved each other from annoying and inquisitive neighbours too.
3. They are your extended family.

You know all about their family. You know all about their relatives - who owns what car, who lives where and more. In fact, you both have never given each other background information because you know it all.
4. They know your history, geography and pretty much everything.

They know about your first crush, boyfriend, kiss and more. Talk about details and they know it all. Everything from your current state of mind to your career plans. It is easy to open up to them because you don't have to venture into details - they already know it.
5. You have countless memories with them.
You have attended each others' birthday parties, played hide and seek in the colony, even seen your first adult film together, and the list can go on and on. It’s unbelievable the kind of moments you have shared with your colony friends. When you guys sit together, all you do is laugh, because you have so much to laugh about.
6. You can eat at their place whenever you want.

It’s like an open invitation. If you are planning to spend the evening at this friend's place, it’s taken for granted that you will have dinner there. Chai, ice-tea and other stuff is secondary!
7. They have seen you through the most awkward stages of your life.

They know all your secrets and the embarrassing stuff too. They remember that awkward hairstyle you had back in school, and your kindergarten memories, the fights you had with your parents, your first heart break, and your wardrobe disasters. The best part is that despite all that, over the years, your bond has only become stronger. And you have each others’ back!
8. You have got into trouble together a number of times.
You have broken your neighbour's window together. You've given people prank calls, annoyed your neighbours by ringing their bell and running away, and a whole lot more! You knew what a hell of a ride it was to get into trouble every second day.
9. This friendship is special because you've grown up together.
You both have countless inside jokes because you have wasted countless hours together. They are the favourite part of your childhood and you know it wouldn’t have been the same if you didn’t have this crazy companion by your side. Most importantly, even though you're both busy with your lives, you pick from where you left.
