An Inexpensible Lesson…

When I was a kid I’ve always hated interacting with people around, unless I knew them very well. My sphere was very limited… from house to school… from school to house. Relatives… very few of them used to keep contact with us… for some weird reason or other they used to avoid us in the moments of our immense hardship. We experienced the true face of the people to their backbone.

I’m an introvert, I prefer being with myself and people whom I know well. Even then I prefer being with someone, rather than being in a group. But for that you need someone. (I think introvert people are familiar with this situation.) And I guess that’s why I’m very close to my close friends.

Couple of years back. One of my classmates needed some psychological support. She needed someone to talk to… we became close to each other. Shared many of our feelings. Both of us didn’t enjoy being in group. Gradually we became pretty close friends… and she is the only person who told me, “You are my best friend and I’m ready to sacrifice anything for you.” And roughly a year back from today, she did what she thought she had to do for me…

It was a tough time for me then for many reasons. Then one day she called me. We had a serious fight. Stopped talking with each other, may be for a month… or more. I lost one of the three stars I had in my life… and life moved on… with two bleeding hearts… Misunderstandings… they can kill any relationship, yet they are part of all of them.

Sometimes life teaches us weird yet inexpensible lessons. They teach us how to cope up with immense difficulties, unexpected situations and harsh conditions… it teaches us to withstand any pressure… it teaches us not to give up the hope… the hope of a better future, even when you think your life is ruined as hell from where you can never revert back…

After a year, we are great friends. Yeah, we have fights. Sometimes she says something and I get upset. Sometimes I let her know, most of the times I prefer to ignore or keep things unnoticed… and may be the same is true from the other side as well…

There are bumps in any relationship… friends are more important than some stupid fights… it’s worth ignoring them for so many great moments you’ve had and will have…

Will s/he ever feel…

Friends… why do we need them? Do we really need them at all? Or is it something we get habituated to? Can someone lead a lonely life?

Socialization starts from family. From the early age we get used to the fact that life is interdependent… dependence on parents, relationship with siblings and relatives and so on. Besides we make friends… in the playground, in school, in our work field, in our day to day life. The most recent form is friendship in virtual world. Whatever and wherever relationship grows, all share the same basic principle… interaction between minds.

In life there are so many obstacles. Sometimes it’s really hard to keep the spirit up… no matter how much confident you are! Sometimes you loss the inspiration, that’s the time when you need someone to make you feel that it isn’t over… the fight can be won.

Theoretically a friendless life can exist and survive. Sometimes I feel this theoretical possibility isn’t far from reality. If someone grows up all alone and isolated, s/he will be habituated to that. Will s/he ever feel the need for someone to share………….

A Bond that Never Dies

A true friendship can never die. No matter how tough time the relationship endures.

Ups and downs are part of life. You have good days, worse days, great days, worst days. You can avoid. You can hate. You can take revenge. You can think things will never be Ok. Still you feel your friend. Do you know the other face of the coin? Single step from anyone can heal the crack quite fast.

Every event can be interpreted in different ways… You can bring good out of the worst, at the same time bad out of the best. A relationship can only survive through mutual understanding and of course, TRUST.

So if you are having tough time with your friend, think about taking a step. If the friendship was ever there, things will be fine again within a while.

Friendship to me

Personally I don’t like copying from another place and posting in my blog. But I think these quotes are wonderful and fit my thoughts and feelings.

“A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.”

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.”
- C. S. Lewis

“Friendship is always a sweet responsibilty, never an oppourtunity.”
- Kahil Gibran

“I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don’t believe I deserved my friends.”
- Walt Whitman

“When friends stop being frank and useful to each other, the whole world loses some of its radiance.”
- Anatole Broyard

“The secret to friendship is being a good listener.”

“You cannot say you’ve lost a friend. If a friendship is capable of ending, it is because it never existed.”

“True friendship is sitting together in silence and feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.”

It is no wonder that we all have many friends. But do we feel in the same way for all??? To be honest, for me, the aforementioned quotes are applicable for only one. When s/he wasn’t in life, I never felt like I miss someone or something. Right now, there is no way I can imagine without him/her. I myself even don’t know what s/he means or how much s/he means to me.

�

I don’t think there is any wrong in this, everyone has many friends, some of them are good friends, some are more than that, and others are just friends. Everyone has his/her position.

�

Friendship has no measurable quantity. It’s about feeling, not how long you have known each other.

�

You’ll only realize the privilege of having friend after having him/her.

�

Friendship is about sharing those moments which would otherwise be never shared.

�

It’s all about the caring feeling and the ability to think from other’s point of view.

�

Friendship is an inspiration, like the only candle in a dark cave.

�

It’s something that can never be expressed in any language.

To me, sometimes it’s confusion…………

The success is inside …………………………….

 

Sometimes you get so disappointed!!!!!!!!!! Only sufferer knows.

Friends are inspiration. But there are times when they let you down. It’s not they are selfish, rather nobody can be  perfect and can think about all of the friends. Good friends notice what others miss. At your hard time, they’ll come up with good ideas, encouragement. Nevertheless, you will see them also miss something.

Best friends- they are different and special in any sense. They are caring, they notice so many things………………….. beyond imagination. Life seems so beautiful, so perfect. Again there are hard, nay harder, not appropriate, the hardest times when you see they can even let you down. You realize sometimes the world is really very small for you. You know they can never mean to hurt you, still you can feel the feeling deep inside your heart. Knowing what others feel is an art and art is never perfect.

But never let yourself down. Keep your heart strong, mind determined, face the challenge. As long as you have the confidence, success will shower upon you. The moment you give up, its the End, even before the end. Never be that coward.

Remember The success is inside you………………………………….. try to see it, it will take care of the rest.
