Friendship. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this word? For me, various thoughts come into my mind. I don't just particularly stress upon the word itself but my friends that I have. Their silliness, their kindness, their friendships, all just suddenly pops into my head. We often don't realize how important friendship is and to be frank, most of us don't even know what friendship exactly is. Friendship is not just restricted to people who you've known for years and have grown up with- NO, that's not the only friendship. Life gives us various friends, some whom we don't even know anymore. I'm sure now you'd be saying - WHAT? Well, that's true..
Has it ever happened to you that you're in a mall and asked certain people for a particular shop but no one was willing to help? Then suddenly this person came and told you the address, with a smile. Isn't this a source of friendship? There was a connection certainly and it was an extremely friendly one or why would he/she of all the people help you? This is friendship.
Going by Ruskin Bond's book "No man is an island" there are several such bonding and friendship stories in this very book which apprehend the same point. The point is, we must not restrict ourselves to just one kind of friendship and I even know some people who say "more the friends, not the better" I however am a firm believer of "more the friends, happier the life". Friends are those that understand you the best and whose to say you've met such friends? Never stop the exploring part of life, at every corner something very special awaits you.
As we see in movies, do hero heroines actually know each other from before? Usually no. Then? Taking the example of Anand movie, why would Rajesh Khanna's character in the film, stop people (random) and say that he knows them? As he himself explained in the movie, he felt a connection to all those people that he stopped and wanted to be their friend.
Has it happened to you, that you've for no reason disliked a person even before you talked to them? Similarly, did you like a person for no particular reason, even before you two had a chat? Isn't this a sort of friendly connection between 2 people, for no particular reason. Believe me, we often overlook the real meaning of friendship.
Let's explore life the way it's meant to be and make "true friends" because we ourselves don't know who might just be the best friend we were/are always looking for. :)
