Who's that person?

Who's that person?One who plays a vital role in your life, who ??Thats a Friend. If you wait for someone's phone call, email, sms or message then it means they are important part of your life & better express this to them. How the person occupied such a position.There is a definite process by which one made people into friends, and it involved talking to them and listening to them for hours at a time.Friendship is a gradual process, which passes through numerous stages of discontent & disagreement before a bond is developed between two persons.

It is one of the most beautiful relationships under the sun. The person can be part of your family--father,ma,sis,brother or a stranger,anyone can be your friend. Experience says relationships which last on friendship are forever. Because only friends allow you to be yourself. Only friends give you a right to laugh, share, scold, fight,cry,love & hate them, because those who are not friends anyways don't bother about you. If & only if someone admires you as a friend your opinion matters for them. At times we get angry with our loved ones or fight with them, but that is also a part of the beautiful relationship we share with them. If a person doesn't allow you to behave naturally then the beauty of the relation fades away gradually.Friends are there until the end, always themselves, they don't pretend.They're not afraid to be seen with you, they are there to listen when you're depressed.Friends are the people you should know the best. And the best way to know your friend is to be one, to allow them to be themselves.

"Unfortunately, some people believe their schedules are more important than their lives." David Leonhardt,as quoted inThe Reader's Digest.

My personal opinion is : Friendship enters when ego leaves.We often spend half of our lives for our careers & fighting with people we like & the rest half thinking we shouldn't have done this.We often keep on waiting for other person to take the initiative & respond; with a stupid idealogy that if the person values us equally they should approach us first & with that loose some of the persons we should have cherished in our life. Relationships are above reasons & logic, & there is no specific time or day to express our emotions.It is better if we meet the person we like with smile, as its said it may be the only smile the person views that day & ever after. People once gone never come back, and it is in our hands how far we can take the important relationships in our lives. Most of the times in our lives we try to find out some specific set of qualities in a person to accept them as our friends and judge them on those parameters as if life is an algebraic equation & we people are the variables & the equation will satisfy when LHS=RHS.

We categorise the people around us as either stranger or as one of our Close Friend,Best Friend,Childhood Friend,Intimate Friend,Trusted Friend,Beloved Friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.He who can teach someone to see a million miles with their feet planted firmly on the ground, surely deserves the honor of being called MY FRIEND.

(This week i wasn't well. But got some really great time for reading, introspection & learning few technical things i usually don't get time to do.The article is part of the thought process i was going through at that time about how all close relationships in life depend on the trust & understanding between any two persons, expressed in a small & beautiful word called friendship.)
