I have listed below the kind of friends that a girl just must have:
1) 3 a.m. friends - Atleast two, one of these will most likely be sat next her saying, "we are so dead" and the other will be busy running from pillar to post trying to bail her from whatever quagmire she has got herself into.
2) A couple of friends on speed dial who she can call when the rickshaw driver gets overfriendly and wants to engage her in some interesting anecdote.
3) A couple of friends with whom she can just be herself, no pretence or false facade needed when they are around, normally the 3 a.m. friends will fall into this category. These friends would have seen her at her most vulnerable and would have stood next to her through thick and thin. They will be able to tell her on her face when she is making an ass of herself and also be able to egg her on when she needs the boost to do something radical (like say dye her hair purple, get a tattoo, make a bold career move or ask that cute guy who has been eyeing her for the last one month out for coffee).
4) A couple of gal pals to go shopping, gossiping or gymming (weight is best lost when you have company, else it is a lost cause, ask me the best weight loss I have had was when I had company from other weight gain afflictees).
5) A male friend who will give her the guy's perspective to every ticklish problem.
6) A tee-totaller girlfriend to go to parties with, so that just incase she drinks herself silly, she can rest assured that she will arrive home safe.
