A Belated Friendship day message..

Friends..
What they mean to me..

what would be the best gift you can ask from your
friend..? A car..? A fancy t-shirt..? a beautiful
painting..? A fragrant flower..? If I had been
asked this question, my answer would be

" give me your woes,worries and fears
and when i am dead,please shed some tears.."

Animals eat,drink,live,mate and die.. What makes
humans different from them..? What is it that
adds colour to our life..? What is it that makes
us happy..? That is love,affection however you
may call it..! It is this that brings life into
the otherwise dreary human life.. It is this love
and affection for others that makes us human.. An
ordinary greeting card which may cost just around
20rs, becomes priceless if it comes from your
friend.. The cost,the beauty, the grandeur of the
gift don't matter.. it is the beauty of the soul
that gives the gift that matters..

there can be no love without sacrifice.. it is
sacrifice that gives worth to love.. sacrificing
your meal, to feed your friend is much much
greater than buying a costly item as a gift.. God
bless all the people who have had the opportunity
to sacrifice something for their friends..

A human is assigned a mom,a dad, grandparents,
uncles, aunts during birth..(seems like computer
jargon.. can't help it..) He has no option of
choosing them.. But it is a friend whom the human
a liberty to choose.. It is a friend who shapes
one's conduct in society, one's etiquette, one's
interests and what not..!!

A friend is not just a human, with whom you ply
games, sing songs, or simply while away time
with.. A friend is a soul who is concerned about
your well-being even though he/she isn't expected
to.. A friend is one who takes the initiative to
help you even though you aren't related to
him/her.. a friend is one who considers loving
you his right and not his duty..

I just wrote this post to thank all of my friends
to my hearts content for whatever they have done
for me till now.. Thank you, my friends for
whatever support you gave me till now.. Thank you
for laughing at all my silly, good-for-nothing
jokes.. thank you for all the help you have given
me.. thank you for supporting me when i found
myself in trouble.. thank you for making my
school and college life something to be
treasured.. I always want you by my side.. I
can't imagine a world without you.. Friends play
an important role in an adolescent's life.. You
have helped me steer myself from dangerous
waters, and made me the human what i am now.. I
may be snobbish, cowardly, idiotic and boring..
But still you accepted me into your fold.. Thank
you for adding light into my life..
Thank you..
