With the way social media has changed us, we often forget that while we may be speaking to a lot of people, we’re not friends with them, and they’re certainly not our yaar. 

They’re not the one you thought of when you clicked this headline. Chances are you already have a person in mind and you’re just looking to confirm if your guess is correct. 

Well then, head on and find out if you’ve found your yaar for life: 

1. They Know The 100% Unfiltered You

It’s not necessary for you to have met your yaar years ago. Sometimes a yaar can be someone much more recent than a childhood friend, yet he’s been able to connect with you on a different wavelength. 

That honesty can be so pure. Conversations don’t seem forced, and you’re comfortable enough to be in your worst condition and hang out with him. 

2. Even Their Parents Scold You

Growing up in India, it’s a given that every time you visit your yaar’s place you're greeted with concerned taanay from his parents. 

It can sound something like “Haan haan, bas jab yeh aata hai, tab hi tumhe humari yaad aati hai.” or “Aa gya aakhir kaar?”

3. You Are Comfortably Weird Together

Let’s be honest. If he’s truly your yaar, then you both know each other's weird sides as well. 

Your friendship usually involves a lot of inside jokes, which others might not necessarily get it, but they don’t have to. It’s you both against the world. 

4. Instant Reconnection When You Speak After A Gap

You’ve realized that you’ve not spoken to your yaar in a while, but you’ve never had to hesitate or second guess sending a text their way. 

There are no awkward hellos and heyyys and you get straight down to gossip, downloading the latest updates from their lives. 

5. Honestly Accountable To Each Other

In this maze that is the experience of growing up, your yaar can feel like someone who knows all sides to you. 

Beyond the person you project onto society, your yaar is the first one to call you out on your bullshit. And keep you in check. 

If you can relate to any of these ways, chances are you’ve found your yaar for life!
