Spectator by Seema Goswami: Benefits with friends

Of course it’s harder to make friends as we grow older. Responsibilities, increase, time is short. Luckily, we have our tribes

I still remember the trepidation I felt when I headed to school on my first day. I didn’t know what school entailed exactly; all I knew was that I was about to be catapulted into an entirely new environment, in which I would know no one. Except that wasn’t precisely true. I was heading to school, determinedly holding hands with my first bestie ever. Kavita Bagga was her name though to me she was always Sweety (her pet name), and the two of us clung to each other like limpets as we made our way through our first few months in school until we finally branched out to make other friends as well.

In Only Murders in the Building, three residents are united by their obsession with true crime.

If you’re lucky enough, you make close friends at work, such as Woody and Buzz from Toy Story.

Never Have I Ever features an unlikely trio, all with diverse interests and opinions.
