This is dedicated to all my lovely friends,their love and immense care they have showered upon me and specially my brother who has been the Best of the Best.
I remember of an old adage of school days, "Friendship is a ship which ferries friends in turbulent and calm seas of life and sails them through making the bond stronger than ever".Theres a family in addition to your family in the world outside.The moment, parents make a child enter into the stage of Educating Self,he/she enters into a world which is very new and the nascent individual takes time adjusting to this different world without parents and dear ones.It is here that the culmination of a family outside family,i.e friends and relations
take place.The individual is now with his group of pals matching his frequency,habits and built."Birds of the same breed flock together".This is where we know the importance of bonds and relations which we share for life.The relations stitched with thread of love and care than by the bond of blood.We grow as an individual,meet several people, have acquaintances but very few good friends who stand by us in all our times and are there to lend a helping hand when we are on the brink of fall in life.Afterall, its not only about "A friend in need being a
friend indeed" but realising the worth of your pal and caring for him/her."I may not be able to help you solve all your problems but ofcourse I will not allow you to face them alone",a friend wrote to me.Friendship teaches us the true meaning of words "TRUST" and "FAITH" which are otherwise good only in dictionary.We confide in our friends and true friends will never disappoint you.So the base of any friendship is the trust you put in the relation.Afterall , when KK sung "Yaaron Dosti, yahi zindagi hai.Ye na ho to phir kyaa zindagi hai"(Friendship is Life), he extracted the crux.
However, the bond suffers a blow when we start taking our friends for granted,hurt their trust and faith in us and after that even though the bond may be reconciled but the KNOT remains.
It is this set of friends and relations which act as our Family outside our Family and help us grow as an individual,are with us in all walks of life,make us realize our worth and guide us.
I have been lucky to have such great friends and relations which I will cherish for life and I write this thanking them for being besides me when I needed them the most.
Thanks a ton.

A Smile.Tht's It !!!!
I write this showing my gratitude for those smiles which lit my face. Thank You(with smile on my face).
There are several occasions in life where in we are down,upset,out of mood, stressed because of several reasons. We as humans are ought to be victims of such states mainly because of our Expectations from someone or life.However,I have been lucky to have such great friends whose 'cute and beautiful smile' has worked wonders for me and has acted as a ferry sailing me through the ocean of emotional or professional downturn. I thank them for being there. Their smile has brought a smile on my face in whatever state I may be.
We are so bogged up with work and other responsibilities that we have forgotten to smile. Some people say, “No time to smile”. Others, "No reason to smile”. Still others, "I have forgotten how I look when I smile”. Is this the life which we aspire to live? Is this how we set an example? In Setting up our lives, career, children, we get Upset. But are we doing justice to ourselves as a person who has right to his/her share of happiness. Life has its set of challenges but that should make us more strong and a better person than a emotionally weaker person. We may not know but a smile on our face may make someone's day. Or the other way round- seeing someone smile may bring a smile on our face. We should not be dependent on a reason to smile. But rather we smile and we will find a reason to smile. Does putting up a frown face or being sad suffice any of our goals/purpose? I know we are subject to Several circumstances but that shouldn't stop us from putting an 'ear to ear smile' on our face. Its easier said than done but yes we can dig the wealth of happiness if we strive to do so.Afterall, it may not be wrong when someone said, "Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone”. If not for yourself, may be for someone else. Who knows, your smile may be the architect of someone's happy day. And of course Life will definitely smile back on us in return. Lets find a reason to smile than to cry or be sad for things which are ephemeral or transient.
'Just a smile' has worked wonders for me. Yes A smile.Tht's it!!!So Keep Smiling - An Ear to Ear Smile.
