I know a great number of people who have stood by me, believe in me and have really loved me. I would really say that I have been blessed that I have them. This lucky star which hovers above me however is not present always and hence I also have had my share of bad experiences… but I would like to mention about a few who have really made a difference to me in my life….(that is if they read this because all of them think I ramble a lot of senseless things)
I know many would have guessed the whole lot by now…… There have been so many joyful times which I cant even start to tell because the space would just not be enough….. I mean be it college life, bunking classes, movies, trips or whatever every situation made a great deal of difference to me. I can very honestly say that there is not a single experience that I can name without an instance where we guys goofed up and yet miraculously managed to save our face……
All has not been a joyride and there are many whom I miss today…. Situations have led way to what I would say this reality but I guess the only thing left to do is cherish the memories hoping the people have not traveled so far apart…….
Friendship IXX
And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship.
" Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
