Bonds of friendship


It happens so many times that due to silly reasons, we forego long sought freindships. Ego clashes, mis-understandings, plain foolishness, communication gap/lapse are some fundamental reasons for this.
Through my 20 years of experience in life, what I have learnt is that there is nothing as sweet as friendship (note to diabetics : replace sweet by beautiful). And friendships can resist distance, cannot be bound by money, and can stay through life and add to your bounty of wealth.
I am not just writing this philosophy, but I have decided. I have decided to reinvent those friendships that have sunk, renovate those that were masked by dusts of time. And tie the bonds again, but this time, for life....

  • hi,

    well said.

    some nice quotes....


    When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

    - Edgar Watson Howe


    When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

    - Henri Nouwen

    The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.

    - Emerson
