Friends

My first public blog is dedicated to everyone who believes that friends are everything in life, more important than any of the world's treasures.

At the end of the day, when you look back you realize, that you don't have anything but a set of friends. And please note, when I talk about friends, I believe in depth and not breadth. What would I do with 100 such people, who are just there, who know my name, and my phone number and email address, and when you meet them, they greet you and ask you, so what's up? how are you doing? let's go for a lunch, it has been long since we had one!!! No!!!

A friend is someone whom you can blindly trust, who's interested to hear/share the most insignificant of joys and sorrows, who you know would always be present as a shoulder to lean on. My father is my best friend for sure and fits perfectly into the definition and of course so does my mom, my siblings but they are kind of relationships I got for free. The biggest treasure I have earned for myself is my set of friends at IITD who I know wherever I go, wherever they go, would always be close. They would always be troubled if something hurts me miles away.

Friends don't need anything but some time of yours and anyone who has some for me, becomes closest of my friends. I am glad that I've tens of such people who can bear me, my silly talks and my random stories. Yes, I love you all.

In short, friends are God's way of taking care of us. God, if you don't give me any more friends, it is ok, but I don't want to lose even single one from this little set that I possess.
