Friends....my view

How many friends have you made by now and how many of them are you still in touch with?? Thought you were inseparable during the school days or your early college days but now you don’t even say a ‘hii’ to them when you see them online.... Or should I say they don’t bother to do the same. Any way round even though the internet has brought everything close I can still say that its due to this internet we have lost the respect to the same old friends.... When we were in the same college we chat all day long with our friends.... when we move out of the college slowly we lose touch... we know whenever we need them we will find them online... for some reason or other we don’t feel the need of taking their help.... or we find some new friends to discuss our issues with. Then we move into a new college and we find new friends there and think they are the coolest so we stop thinking of our old friends. Life goes on.... we completely forget our old friends only thing that remains is the online sign we were used to see on our messenger. Is this what it should be like?? Long have gone those days when old friends use to write letters to each other.....we don’t even buzz each other these days. Well instead of blaming it on anything else I can say it’s in human nature. When we think about our old friends sometimes we feel really bad.... How good those days were.... How much fun it was...Can I go back to those days again???...these are some of the questions which come to our mind... but can we really afford to do it?? Back in our mind we know it’s not possible and the best way is to carry on with our life the way it is. We should take it this way... those were ‘The days’ of our life ,no matter how much we feel like going back to them we should think that all the friends we had or we will have were part of our life and no matter good or bad they were they taught us something invaluable.You just take whatever you think is good and forget the bad things.Making friends is matter of learning. We meet different people we learn their perspective we broaden our level of thinking which ultimately teaches us a lot. Everything what we do can be related to a friend. For e.g. I have a friend who use to take me to temple on every Saturday... now even when he’s not with me I still see to it that I go to the temple every Saturday. One of my friends had a habit of saying ‘WTF’ and slowly everyone in our group was saying the same thing....lol.Friends give us the moments which we would cherish throughout our lives and those moments will give us the courage and experience to overcome the future. Now coming to me I made lots of friends .I use to speak with everyone in the college. But only 3-4 of them are still in touch with me. The rest have moved on. I enjoyed being with them, learned a lot from them...they might have learned few things from me...and after college everyone was gone. That’s it!!! The one who wanted to stay in touch still call me...even I call them. Guess God still wants us to learn more from each other. He he. Life goes on....you make friends you forget them, it’s a part of life...there’s nothing to feel bad about it. Everything what happened had a purpose and everything that has to happen will have a purpose.... and let’s hope the purpose is good. Just remember someone up there is watching us and never do such things which won’t allow you to look into your own eyes. Finally every battle in life has to be fought alone. ..Obviously it’s always nice to have someone by your side... friends can give courage, support, guidance.... but the result will always depend upon what you do all alone.... Remember it was all alone you came and all alone you would go!!!
