Friendship Day

 Today being the friendship day, i thought why not on write on the same topic.

Am sure we all have our friends at different phases, lucky are those who have their friends right from childhood to grave.

Truth be told, i did not have lot of friends in my school days and it was just one friend, college days we were a crazy bunch, thinking life was a lot of responsibility, uff how wrong were we then.

After marriage, husband's friends wife became friends and we started to hang out and formed a bond, slowly rhis started to change. 

Kids happened and their friends mothers were my friends... 

Importance of friendship has been induced in our mythological stories in characters such as Krishna Kuchela, Krishna Arjuna, Karna Duryodhana. 

All these friendships went to prove one thing that no matter what stand by your friend in thick and thin. 

Friendship can stay for a longer time, if we are ready to do certain things. 

Don’t get disturbed if he/she didn’t greet you on special occasions, please grow up. 

Don’t compare yourself with him /her. You are two different personalities

As you age, include sharing health tips, quitting bad habits if any, savings for children’s education, Retirement plans etc.

Try to boost each other to face the ups & downs in life. Never discourage or feel bad.

The support from friends is a rich asset. Take time to know about your friend's well-being, and provide them a shoulder to cry-on wben needed. Because there will be many to cheer him/her in his celebrations. But you make sure to stand there at the needed time. 

Remember a friend in need is a friend in deed.
