FRIENDSHIP

Friendship!!! When we flip over the pages of our Autograph Book of our school/college days, we would come across ample lot of definitions on friendship. But on growing up, when Love, Career and Responsibilities take the primary position, friendship slowly takes the backseat, and we often find that the most intimate person is no more part of our life itself.


In anybody's journey towards self realization, the role of friends is vast and deep. Some influence you indirectly whereas some directly. Some supplies you with free advice whereas some will be there with you as your shadow never bothered to be noticed but still always there for you. Some teaches you by leaning on you whereas some put the arm around and take you around comfortably even through the tough days. Some remembers during parties alone, whereas some grows to the stature of being a role model and guidance. Some friendship will be redefined as brotherly or sisterly whereas some are born as brothers/sisters but becomes the best friend available. More of the latter of the above list, the better.

Any successful/peaceful person will have a huge role of his/her friends. If anyone says that they are self-made, it is more of their "ego" of the "I" that is dominating their conscious and intelligence. As mentioned earlier, we fall apart during the journey of life and nowadays Orkuts and Facebooks helps to "keep in touch" but real friendship goes beyond to being celebrated and adored. Let us remember those great souls who made us what we are.

I would like to start remembering a few who stand apart for their uniqueness and molded me to be what I am with all their care, positive vibe and inspiration. In the order they came into my life, to start off: my sis, Sandhya, who is more than just any other ordinary sis. Sunitha, the first person who stood apart for her smartness, character and simplicity. Manu, for his intelligence. Ramya, for her innocence, care and support. Shilpi, for her self belief and self confidence. Premjith, a great motivator. Ambrose, humble and humane. Ramesh Bai, for his wide perspective, fun filled, and setting standards. Subash, spiritual enlightening. Mahesh, silent but anywhere, anytime reliable force. Christopher, Raguvaran, Sajitha and Murugan Anna transformed me into a new life taking all the pain and pressure of the rebirth. I wish everyone gets friends like I got who could transform even ordinary things to beauty with their sheer presence.

Though friendship doesn't fall to any mathematical equation, if one asks me what I had done for them, the answer would be "meager" but they continue to be what they are, boundless and boundaryless, and that's friendship. Each of us will be having such friends, let's have them back in our life and cherish their presence and relation forever.
