Hi Friends,
Source
How are you doing? Enjoying the Friday? Well, me too and here I am writing a blog about friends, friendship and all.
If we go dig the quotes on friendship, there will be numerous beautiful quotes we will get and out of all the types of relationships we have, we can inarguably say that, friendship is the purest form of relationship.
When we are need of some help, the own family members may think twice, but not the friends, because there is no restriction or leg pulling in friendship unlike with blood relations or relations on maternal or paternal side.
Some keywords associated with friendship are, voluntary, mutual, sharing, caring, unconditional love, strong bond, no egos and so on.
Well, as some of those keywords says, the friendship is a voluntary relationship between two or more than 2 souls who have mutual respect, who are caring and ready to share anything and they will have unconditional love for each other and have strong bonding with no ego among themselves.

As a famous quote by Walter Winchell says A real friend is one who walks in when rest of the World walks out, wow, how beautiful those words are!!! It's unimaginable to think of a life or someone without friends, whether it's school or college or just our life, friendship and friends will always be there and the real taste of life is friends.
We can hide something or we may feel like can't share something with our parents, siblings or relatives, but, we don't hide the same from our friends. So, friendship is the real taste of One's life and it has to be experienced instead of just explaining in words.
I just want to share a real life story I have gone thru about a friend of my brother in law. The person I am talking about is no more, but he has left lots of memories in me and with his numerous friends.
So, this person I am talking about was a sales person in a famous multi brand electronics shop and was enjoying his life as a bachelor and was One of the most polite, efficient worker who was liked by all.
One day, he started feeling pain in joints and just went to Doctor to hear that, he has bone cancer and it's already in Second stage. He was a One of the most fittest persons and most jolly guy, but this news came as a shock to him and his mother as he lost his father at young age.
Now, knowing that, he has bone cancer, he was advised not to travel in bus and all and was advised bed rest and told not to move much.
His mother and him can purchase medicine and treatment for few months from his savings and salary, but days started when he knew he will be out of money soon. That was the time, his colleagues and my brother in law sent out a message thru a common group chat and sought help from all their colleagues and friends and would you believe? They collected almost 10 Lakhs Indian Rupees(almost 12K US Dollar) and that was sufficient to purchase medicine and some more treatment for him for more than a year.
But, he was bedridden and his mom only used to take care of him and finally he passed away few years back, but all I wanted to convey here is, the friends with whom he worked, didn't leave him with the issue he had, they helped him to the max with financial help and that person himself knew he is not gonna live forever and he only convinced them to not transfer their own money as they too have family.
Such kind hearted person he was and it's really a heart touching One as I too visited him some 3 or 4 times with my brother in law and inspite of knowing that he doesn't have much life left, he always use to welcome us with warm smile and he was such an inspiration.

Well, we have to go as life treats us, but in between, we have to value and respect the people we meet and as we move along, we always have chance of making friends and those moments with friends will be the most cherishing moments and will help us forget all the sorrows and multiplies joys.
We have a very short life and that is becoming lesser and lesser every year we pass by and hence, we need to enjoy the life with family and friends and friends play a big role in this journey of life and we have to preserve our friendship.
