5th Aug. 2012, another friendship day. Over the years friendship day celebrations are getting bigger and bigger, and why not. Its one thing for many people in this world means a lot to them. Its like a second family. And I've been fortunate enough to have a great second family. Since my last years in school the people that have come in my life as friends, are still in my life and with every passing year the bond of friendship is growing stronger and stronger.
I still remember those school and college days, which I've lived virtually with friends. And last year after almost 15 years it was great to reconnect with my school buddies of high school. Thanks to facebook.... ;) Meeting so many of them after one and half decade is just awesome.
Last few years since I've joined couchsurfing, life has again given me that chance to meet new people. Something which over the years I've been missing after I graduated. And I'm fortunate enough that through couchsurfing I've met people who in a just few years have been awesome friends with me. Many times just by talking to them and knowing how much this friendship of ours is cherished just overwhelms me.
I still remember those hard times in my life when I had my friends standing next to me and even their silence told me how much I have them by my side. When I think of each one of them and the memories I have with them is one of the biggest treasure that I have gathered over the years.
As Mother Teresa has said "if you judge people, you have no time to love them." Today I'm extremely happy to have never judged this awesome people, or yes I would have lost them way back. The happiness of just being with them and having them in my life is so supreme that I never had the time to judge them and why should I ? And probably its the same thing they did with me and accepted me with all my ebbs.
And as someone has said which I truly believe today that FRIENDS ARE BORN, NOT MADE. I guess I was destined to have this good people in my life whom I could have for my life. And on this special day which is gonna come every year special thanks to you - Stuti, Shelin, Darshan, Chirag....Thanks for being with me always.... :)
Happy Friendship Day....:)
