Friendship - Among the Finest Things in Life
I’m one of those lucky ones who have a Best Friend to call my very own. This encounter has also given me reason enough to consider Friendship as one of the best things in life. It has taught me to see light in many circumstances and helped me to create memories out of the many ordinary moments in life. It has also enabled me to survive many trying moments and given me the strength to face the world again even when my hopes had hung low on a thin thread.
I remember going to school and looking forward to share my little thoughts with a dear friend and how even recesses weren’t quite enough to let it all out. We would chatter and laugh over our little talks till the bell rang and we would rush back to our benches, still looking for chances to whisper our little ideas. And when the last school bell rang, we would walk home talking our talks still. The world could seem such a lovely place in the presence of a lovely friend.
Then when High school was about getting over, I felt the pinch of parting with the friends I’ve made over the years and even though we knew we’d have to follow different roads then, we still wished we could get into the same college and pursue our studies if only to keep our friendship safe. Somehow, some of the best years seemed to have been spent on high school. But when all memories have turned golden and time and space have conquered age, it was time we moved on, nearer and closer to the future.
However, when things were changing in a rapid pace-modernization replacing old ways of living, education growing in leaps and bounds, technology replacing old means of doing things, you know fashion and gadgets turning the themes of the day and all things have gone from old to new every passing day, we are still human enough to need a companion to share and to give, to support and to encourage, to listen and to watch, to dream together and to laugh, to give a smile when the other needs one, to offer a hug and a hand when life turns and twists. We still know that deep inside, we are lonely souls in need of friends to bring out the best in us.
