Friendship

Hi all, this is Smriti Rai spending a lot of days on just deciding, what should be my first blog all about and here I came up with the only answer i.e. “FRIENDSHIP”.  Talking about friends, I would like you all to know, what actually Friendship or generically called “DOSTI” is?

According to me, friends are nothing but the fusion of two i.e. either two people, two souls, two thinking or  two strength. Friendship generally means success and survival for each other, understanding and to be understood.  Friendship does not have survival value rather give value to survive. It uses the language of feeling and emotion and provides a freedom of being oneself, where one can feel free and comfortable to express. If maintained properly, it provide us the source of happiness that makes us a complete personality. Understanding one’s weakness and helping them get rid of it, is a perfect traits of true friends.

I would like you all to recall, the worst part of your life which you thought “you were facing alone”, do you really think that you were all alone, in that time frame? Do you remember there  was someone, who came forward, who held your hand and told you not to be worried and assure you his/her presence beside you, during your tough time, like a pillar or a rock support for you, that is your true friend.

I have personally experienced this support, either from my friends or family, whenever required. Generally when we talk of friends, we misunderstand that ,it to be a outsider but honestly speaking it can be anyone, i.e. an outsider, our parents, our partner, our  sibling, our pets or any books and many more. It can happen between same age group or different, with whomever we feel comfortable and free.

Now the biggest question arise, how to choose a good friend? Honestly speaking, there are no such parameter to do so. One can be good to me but may not to others, it all depends upon the experiences with them. Friendship can happen with anyone, anywhere. We must never forget that a true friend is not less than a treasure, which can boost your worth.

Let me draw your attention towards online friends. Technology has defiantly blessed all of us with a feature of being friends to other on a “CLICK”. Technology do provide a platform to all, to get connected but it cannot suppress the actual importance and power of meeting ones in person. We all know friends soul are closely connected irrespective of time, space and distance but there are situation, where we want them beside us helping and supporting to overcome from physiological or emotional challenge.

Dear readers, friendship is nothing other than a mirror for all, which once get cracked, cannot be molded back to the same stage… which ask us for a very nominal cost, which includes not being judgmental, no expectation in return to your favour and honest communication, that forms the binding for both.

Lastly, I would like to quote the importance of friendship through a phrase by Jim Morrison —

“A friend is some one who gives you total freedom to be yourself.”
