Happy Friendship Day ...

Belated Happy Friendship Day readers.

A good reminder indeed to reach out to our friends with whom we might have lost touch on regular basis. But somehow I always reflect, how busy we all have become in our lives that we need a reminder of importance of our lifeline, our friends. And again as the day passes, we get busy in the daily humdrum of our lives.

I, for one was more of a shy, introvert and behind the scene kind of person in my school life. School, where we often lay the foundation of lifetime friendships. I had three main friends whom I considered my best friends, though they had other close friends too. I have always believed that there can be more than one best friend, so I never minded and kept my sense of possessiveness to myself. Today I can proudly say that my best friends since then have become my best friends forever. Yes, they are integral part of my life even thirty years later. And on the path of life, over the years my other school friends have joined my inner circle .I have discovered to my delight that I wasn't as invisible as I presumed. They remembered me much more than I could expect and they cared for me. So don't assume, reach out to your friends if ay misunderstandings and doubts.

One important lesson taught to me by my friend ABC (I will not name her) was that everyone comes in your life for a reason. Our friendship blossomed when I  had lost my sister and she morally supported me. Recently she has been too busy for months and when I needed her guidance for few things ,She couldn't have let her go because bitterness was affecting me. So every friendship may not last forever another lesson I have learnt. It is a lesson not easy to learn but if you learn, if nothing else you will have peace for sure.
