On this friendship day....



Aristotle once said, "The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake". Quite relevant in today's times where it is difficult to know who is an impostor - being a good friend to you and then leaving you alone to walk alone on your path... which seems easy but is difficult as the solitude and loneliness of that path makes it difficult to move further on it. Probably that is why Hellen Keller said, " Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light". A friend to support you in the worst of your times can help you overcome those times with a such an ease that you won't even realise when those clouds left your life and its sunshine again .
... and best friends are those lights which turn on automatically as soon as they sense such a time around you to pull you out of them as soon as possible

Friends are those who integrate the differentiated parts of life by bringing with them such great memories that allows us to re-live those moments forever and ever...

A very popular Acronym for Friends 

First
Relative
In
Every
New
Difficulty

defines friendship in the best possible way. No doubt we have good memories with our families but the best ones are with our friends... which we cherish forever & ever.

Walter Winchell defines a real friend as the one who comes in when the rest of them move out. Somewhere if we see the Quotes of all the famous personalities about friendship they talk about true friends citing a reference to the bad or not-so-good times and that is because we are always surrounded by people in our good times and the worth of these people are known in the hardest of times.






So learning from the best of people and my experiences, here is how I define my best friends:

Best Friends are a gift ... treasure them, they are hard to find
Best Friends are your memories... never part with them, they are harder to leave
Best Friends are impossible to forget because they are forever to stay!




So on this Friendship Day, this is to my Best friends.. the special people who have been by my side in all the ups and downs. You are the ones who pull me out of all the hardships and bring a smile even when it is hard to be happy... You are the ones who increased the happiness of each success... You are the ones with whom I share the best of my memories...   You guys have been great friends, Philosophers and guide all this while and continue to be so!


Thank You so much for being there, Always! 


Cheers to our friendship!

A Life Lesson #2

Image
Never let an old flame burn you twice Life is a journey which is far beyond just living.... It is about fun, happiness, people and above all experiences and memories associated with all of them. Experience is a gift for some and a lesson for some... It is as you perceive it. But above all what matters is what it leaves behind because you never lose in the game of life either you win or you learn. And the pain you would feel while learning shall be your greatest strength when you face a similar situation again. As I always say.... Life is a journey, supported by your wisdom and your wit. But wisdom and wit is something that needs to be developed over time and  what best a school would be to develop them than the school of life with 'experience' as its headmaster - who is worldly wise and supreme in the school called life. Our perception teaches us a lot of things as well. No doubt our experience teaches a lot of things but if we have flexibility in

Understanding the Misunderstanding

Image
It is said that a few wise words can bring a great change in your life far more than what thousands of words can, so can this quote. The Quote here in the picture is something that we all must have dealt with at some point or the other.  A misunderstanding can create such unforgivable situations around those going through it that all their emotions of love, respect, bonding becomes a thing of the past and what takes its place are the emotions of hatred, jealousy and detachment. Often the two main causes of a misunderstanding are: Lack of Communication and a Third person. But the latter plays a major role using the former. People out of jealousy plant incomplete information which is often manipulated to create strife between people. This strife, which ‘they’ feel is their victory is actually the defeat of their morals and values which put them down to such a level that they can’t rise above these disgusting ways of manipulating things. The repercussions of a misunderstanding

Selfish: To sell your own fish for your benefit!?

Image
The title seems quite confusing but puts up quite an evident question – is doing something for ourselves and our own life which others can’t match up to, called being selfish? Selfish is a bad word in most people’s books. As a society, we applaud selflessness, honor, sacrifice and service. Being called selfish is hurting, but this particular trait can help you become a better person.  It is critical to be selfish and self – centered when you are considering the future of YOUR life! And that is because you are responsible for your own happiness.  Most people give up their heart’s desire to do something by getting influenced from other people. It is a strange aspect of human psychology that we try to please everyone and not hurt their feelings… but is it worth it? Is giving up your desires and dreams for others (who don’t have much of role to play in your life), fair? Consider a situation to understand the point above: your best friend comes over to you and asks whether h
