Bright Side Brighter

Aaaaaaah!!!So many to choose…Hmmm...
I am not talking about clothes and shoes, kaam ki baat suno...
Some great man once said  "Tell me who your friends are,I will tell you who you are"



F.R.I.E.N.D= ‘A person you know well and regard with affection and trust’.









There are hundreds in the lists, a few tens ‘in person’ always around in our life.Now comes the problem, scratch your head and heart hard and think, if we can give so much affection and trust to all the ones we know, we definitely are from the Land Of Divine Angels!

Life ki story mein one twist, we all are small beings,fortunately we cannot handle too much of anything.God has given us capabilities to spend 86,400 seconds every day with some lovable,likable,adjustable,enviable,detestable people…some yani really some…unless we happen to be Ghandhi,the Man to handle the likes of a h'uuu'ge kingdom.

Think…one day you are alone and sad…and then…think…of life as a super bright sunny morning where you wake up with the new birds chirping, you rub your eyes and see a hundred people showered from the sky just for you.Remember,you are not choosing them,they just come you way.You are grateful to the Almighty for blessing a moron like you, you are on cloud nine!
Now let us see how the day goes and what is in store…

You decide to call this macho someone to give you company by the lake side for fishing because you like it,but well he prefers to walk in the woods and do some real hunting,he politely turns down your request and sets off.You wave him a bye and wish him luck.You love him.He loves you too.

When you were calling him, two tempted eyes were staring at you with lots of hope and admiration, and this guy can die for fishing and as well for you! You do not have a choice now,you sit near the lake with your fishing rods immersed in the calmness of the lake.A few hours pass in silence and finally a conversation happens when you realize that this guy is not bad either,you share a few fishing tips;).You love him.He loves you too.

Amidst all this is the happy go lucky guy who wants to catch butterflies all day, stare at the sky, climb trees and swim in the lake; who wishes to do nothing and of whom,you wish to do nothing,you admire him for the way he is.He is of no harm to anyone.You love him.He loves you too.

Then there is a okay guy who dislikes your fishing habit but is okay with it and never tells it, he works hard, he grows rice in the fields and makes an awesome lunch for you in the noon, after a while he is bored and fed up and he decides to go.You let him go because you were bored and fed up too, nothing else.You love him.He loves you too.

And before you know how lucky you are,the handsome gangster guy whom you gave your fishing basket to keep them safe after returning home,runs away in the evening with your fishes to the Far Land Of The Zombies.You love him[for keeping your fishes safe for a while;)].He loves you too[for the fishes again ofcourse;)] 

After some hard work during the day it is time to have some fun, you throw a party in the night, and this smart[really smart;)]guy whom you had not seen during the earlier part of the day decides to give a special appearance.
You wonder…
Bon fire and wine
Some food to dine,
Everything is fine
But how many are mine?
You forgot to ask, he forgot to tell, well his name.But you guys did have some fun! And he finally left.You love him.He loves you too.

You fail to notice a jolly guy who whacked you out of the bed in the morning and then caught some fishes,just in case if you could not catch any,who wanted you to make lunch while he was in the field,but you forgot.He did not mind,he took you out for a stroll in the woods and taught you hunting[and you thought fishing was the only ‘the’ fun thing],then in the night he helped you arrange the party,you cling on him when you finally see those twinkling stars,you lie down holding him on the open grass under the night sky,very tired after a wonderful day and the next morning he whacks you again!Come the winds,the rains,the dark lonely nights,he stays with you for many days and nights to come.You love him.He loves you too.
They come in all shapes and sizes,all shades and colours...
How colourful we make our life... is left to us...
Friendship…oooooo….Friendship…
For the ones of mine…
Cheers...Pakka...Dil Se…
