"True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends,but in their worth and choice" said Samuel Johnston.Indeed friendship is not about the thousand friends you have,its about the 4 or 5 of them who stay with you what may come,who lend their hand at the hour of need,who support you at your time of crisis,console you when you are down...and the list goes on.
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, a hour to like someone, and a day to fall in love with someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone who has spent millions of days with you sharing his secrets,his sorrows and joyous moments.Its really tough to find such a person who will care for you and who will be ready to help you unless you show them that you always care for him.
In this twenty years,I've met millions of people and I can say I have succeeded in befriending many of them.But its still tough to beat the guy whom i met in my second grade,Stephen. He's been with me for almost 18 years and we've shared glorious moments together being inseperable. The essence and depth of friendship stays in the way you understand and respect each other. It was the complex game of chess which brought us together.Love for Cricket,passion for cartoons,similar hobbies, bloomed our friendship. We never know in which way you earn a friend.They are like a deck of cards, they come in kings and queens, red and black, six and seven, but if one of them is giving a miss, the deck won't work.Its not about grouping those cards into a red or black,its about choosing the right card from a deck.You pick the right card,its tough to beat that bonding which is carved and sculptured with lots of love and care.
Im glad to have made both the extreme decisions.My right decisions have fetched me trusted peers and my wrong decisions have taught me a lesson.The hardest feeling comes in when you are bein cheated and ditched.When you are being cheated in the name of friendship it feels like yo've been stabbed,one of the worst feelings which always creeps in an unexpected situation.It is one of these reasons why many people fail to enlarge or magnify their friends.They infact try to form their own small group of trusted friends.And people who have failed to extend hands after a disasterous dump,go into isolation.
Everybody in our lifetime would have faced a situation wherein your best friend,be it a guy/girl walk out on us. It is certainly a hard hit on the head as friendship takes one notch over trust that someone will not harm them .We really shouldn't worry and take this to our head as we have been sincere in our friendship with them, and its they who withdrew. They will realize their mistake at some point of time in their life and will come back to us showing all their teeth shamelessly.
I thank all my best buddies for coming into my life and making it impressive and exalted with their enthralling presence.Let us exculpate ourselves acknowledging our old friends and extending our hands establishing contacts with new ones celebrating friendship with a lot of vigour and joy.
