Friends

-
I was reading an article in a magazine and came across a very interesting piece of information.   According to recent study, it was found that those who had a large network of friends outlived those with the fewest friends by 22%. The reason being good friends discourage unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and heavy drinking. The companionship provided by friends may ward off depression, boost self-esteem, and provide support.


One of the important requirements for leading an ideal life is having good friends. A good friend is a blessing in disguise. Friends are your worst critics but are your biggest fans. They are the ones whom you fight with all the time but without them, you will be nothing but lonely. They might get into your nerves but, at the same time, they are a stress buster. Friendship to life is like an anchor to the boat; it keeps you hooked up to what is important in life and will never let you wander clueless.


If you have three friends in your life whom you can trust blindly and love unconditionally; your life is set. Three friends who will always ask you how your day was and will listen to you for hours (even if they are on a date). Three friends who will love you for what you are and won’t try to change you (however annoying you may be).  Three friends who can bear your worst temperament (in the process of which, they might lose their own). Three friends whom you can call at the middle of the night just to share a silly joke (chances are that the joke might be stupid and not funny). Three friends to whom you can confess your worst fears knowing that they won’t judge you (I am Dexter, the dark passenger).  Three friends whom you can cry your heart out to (crying is not that bad). Three friends to whom you will write a suicide note (if you are thinking about writing one). 7 billion people in the world, and all you need is to find those three people!! 


For some people, friendship may look like a costly affair. All the long telephone bills, gifts and most importantly, parties!! “I saw my crush”… “Party!!”; “I managed to bunk the class”…”Party!!”; “My boss called me to his cabin and gave me a last warning for coming late to office”….”He could have asked you to leave but instead gave you a warning..You still have a job. Party!!” ….and the list goes on and on…. But, I say, these are not expenses, it’s an investment. Having a good friend surely pays off.


What’s the fun of having a grand wedding when you don’t have friends to empty the bar..
What’s the joy on a salary hike if u don’t have anyone to celebrate your success with..
What’s the excitement of having a boyfriend like Clark Kent, if u can’t boast about it to your friends..


So, have you found your friends for life?? If yes, treasure them; if not, its time u start looking for them J

Life in 3D

 Life's a riddle. When we complete sorting out the troubles in life, we are struck with other new problems. On the other hand, when we lose hope and are ready to give up, life shows new opportunities and new hopes. It surely acts in a mysterious way. I happen to remember a quote from one of my favourite movies -The forrest Gump,'life's like a box of chocolates,you never know what you're gonna get', which is infact very true. May be this is what makes life worth living,worth fighting and worth surviving.        So, it's a mere waste of time if you are crying over life for not being as planned. Remember, Life has not promised to be any different than what it is now. May be its simply about living each day, each hour and each moment. So, what the hell!!  Make mistakes, laugh at it, life's not fair, accept it, fall down, rise again, face the fearful, fall in love, stand for yourself, be stupid, dance in the rain, make a fool out of yourself, cry your ...

When I look back at my life, there’s not a single moment that I would change. I don’t wanna jinx it by saying, but I am in love with my life.  Did I have a fairy tale story? –No. Was my life perfect?? -Indeed not. Like everyone else, I had my share of pain. I failed a number of times.  I failed to get through the medical college although my only persistent dream since childhood was to be a paediatrician (Short term dreams included marrying a Spanish Guy, being the next Jodie Foster after watching Silence of the lambs or being adopted by Bill and Melinda) To see my only dream get shattered was like being judged and told that ‘You are not good enough’.  It echoed in my ears for so long that sometimes it was hard to hear anything else.  I failed in my CA finals too (However, it’s worth mentioning that there’s a saying- If Jesus has never failed; he must try CA). I have failed in numerous assignments at work.  I have failed to meet the expectations of many peopl...

True Love!

The other day, I invited some of my girlfriends for a night stay. As all young girls, all we did was talk, that too for hours. We talked about our job (which was all about a new hot girl in office and the threat that followed), life (that it sucked), food (about a new mobile app for calculating calories in foods), music and movies (who wore the worst dress at the oscars) and guys (which was about 90% of what we talked). After a few glasses of beer, we started talking about a vague topic - ‘love’. We struggled to get into a conclusion what love actually is.  After midnight, we finally agreed that ‘ love is something, the feeling of which is unexplainable and the lovers clueless '. As a 16 year old girl, love for me was a romantic flick like ‘You’ve got mail’ or ‘Preety Woman’ where two perfect individual meet, have their differences in the beginning which they sort out and eventually lead a perfect happy life. But now, I feel of having I lapse of judgmen...
