I still remember the little girl in the sixth grade who chose to write about friendship.She wrote how teddies and plants had been her friends for a long time. When everybody would be chit chatting during the recess; she would be engrossed in her huge talks about the world and its beings with the plants in her school garden. Frequently she would nod to them as if they were replying and pretend like she was singing when she got caught.
Something she enjoyed the most was her lonesome until she had a beautiful person walk into her life who had similar choices and whose company she would enjoy. She called her ‘Best friend’. She would begin to miss her the moment she left. Talking for hours on the phone with her was a daily chore.
Till few years after the school farewell they would meet up once in a while. Later, they seldom met. Both of them made new friends. It was college life after all and she lived it to the fullest. Her college buddies meant a lot to her. She had learnt though, no promises in this world were set in concrete.
Every small and huge aspects of her life she appreciates. She loves and cherishes everybody she meets in life. People walked in and out of her life and she had to comprehend. With time, she had to grow,understand, irrespective that she didn’t want to.
Friendship then, is it nothing? Don’t you believe its for a life time? Do you think movies have overrated them than it is? What did she think about it?
What she learnt through the times was friendship always meant lot than what she imagined or knew. It did not mean being together all the time, but it meant standing beside your pal at the right time. Friendship never meant having similar likes and dislikes, it meant arguing over their different perspectives, learning et considering the other’s vista.
Eventually it was the great pedagogue, time who taught her that a friend is not the one who might sit beside you when you are up for the battle but friend is like Lord Krishna who leads your chariot to what is right, to what is true. And here in Kalyuga, our Krishna’s keep changing. Every friend leads you to a whole new ‘you’. Nobody leaves, they all play their part in making you what you need to be. And fortunately for her, every loved one of hers would stand upright for her, because she would do the same for them.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people stay for a while,
and move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.

Ultimately, Its not what you get but what you give that comes back again. What one has to focus on is being a better person, a good human being, because generosity and love always finds its way back.
About friendship; well it didn’t seem to her, ‘her world’, Friendship is her world. It is the only golden ribbon that has still kept this world tied together. It is the only bond that every person turns to in sorrows if not in happiness. A friend is the only kindred before whom one can cry their heart out without any guilt or fear of being judged.
So if having a friend isn’t the epitome of all the satisfactions one can have, I don’t know what is.
One of the greatest titles we can have is “old friend.”
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.
We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age
when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us “old friend” in the years to come.
