Friends

We are social beings; we need someone with whom we can entrust our really feelings and reason on issues that concern us, moreover we humans aren’t self-sufficient, we dislike being alone. While we might spend time alone doing certain activities, still there is a fear and anxiety at being alone. Here is when friends come to bridge the gap between loneliness and togetherness.

Friends are the most precious gift from God to mankind, which very few of us nourish. We need friends for many reasons – to comfort us when we are sad, to laugh with us when we are glad, to advice us on wrong or right, to play with, to share your darkest secret without them being leaked, to quarrel, to feel secure, to tease, to support and most of all friends are amongst those few people who accept us, as we are.

A friend is one who believes in you when you cease to believe in yourself. My grandfather once said – “Tell me who is your friend and I will tell you who you are.” Friends do not happen, it is nurtured, it takes talking, listening, loyalty, understanding and flexibility.

The neat thing about friends is that they come in lot of shapes and sizes, and there’s no limit on how many friends you can have. Some people have a really easy time making friends, while others take longer getting to know people.

I am proud to be blessed with amazing bunch of friends, had a lot of deceptive ones too – but yes learnt from them. My friends have been there in my good and bad times; they have stood by me at all times. All their friendship is unique, their companionship makes you feel alleviated, you can never feel down and out in their presence, they always make it so easy and light.

Yes, you do admire and adore your friends for who they are and what they mean to you, but I admire my friends because of their positive vibe, the faith they have in themselves, the sense of assertiveness they display; there is a certain divine light they disperse; a light they spread wherever they go and part to whoever they meet.

I want to take utilize this medium to tell them how much they mean to me, to thank them for being by my side, for all the moment of truth, and mostly for making our friendship meaningful and trustworthy. I am happy to share a place in their life!!!

A friend once said “Friends & Love could last for a season, for a reason or for a lifetime.......... so what do you choose?"
