“ When you walk on a dusty road,
With no buses to board
Then comes the friend - ‘ship’
Sailing you with the wind - ‘ship’ ”
So, what do
you mean by friendship? Making new friends and talking good, comprises a drop
in the ocean of friendship. Then, what is the 'ocean'?
You brought noodles to your school, thinking
of having a great recess after a few hours of an ordeal to the teachers.
Suddenly, when you open your tiffin-box, you find that your tiffin-box is as
clear as a mirror so that you can see yourself. The process was so fast that
you didn't have time to react. What was the process? It is the competitive shaming nature of
friendship.
Haven't done your homework, you find that all
your classmates did it. With the sense of death ahead of you, you try to face
the 'danger', ending up, standing outside the class with your best friends.
Before you can understand what happened, you find yourself being the bowler of
the concrete pitch, playing cricket. What has happened? It is the togetherness of the nature of
friendship.
Studying for the upcoming exam the next day,
you find yourself in a tensed mood- 'juggling' books and 'drinking' answers of
'unimportant' questions. Out of nowhere, you find yourself chatting on the
telephone with your friends, discussing the invigilators. What was it? It is the
calming nature of friendship.
Thinking of being failed with the loss of
enthusiasm for life, acting like a robot with no feelings and finding the way
to extinguish the fire within you to get "free" for no reason; you
find yourself walking and cycling on the roads and having snacks, with a belief
that you will win yourself. What was the process of conversion? It is the supporting and motivating nature of
friendship.
Coming back to the question: What is the
'ocean'? It is a dictionary! When words like sharing, caring, supporting,
inspiring. Motivating, togetherness, trust, belief, faith and on and on…… come
together will get a word, not just a word but a feeling called friendship.
Does it last a lifetime? No, it lasts for
ages. We believe in friends, trust them, have faith in them and help them. All
the feelings provide love and affection, which creates a field of friendship.
With the analogy of the human body, the heart
is the source of friendship, pumping blood (friendship) throughout the body,
with the brain acting as love and affection – all because friendship out of
love and affection gives longevity, lasting for ages.
FRIENDS ARE DIFFICULT
TO MAKE, BUT EASY TO END
"But in the end
When you see a life bird
Friends can make your life mend
So, never think of
destroying a friend "
