**""Best friends!!""**
That day my 9 year old niece introduced me to her "best friend".. I talked to both of them taking utmost care to make her friend feel "important", after all she is her best friend.. At that moment this feeling came to my mind.. What is this "best" friend actually?
When I was a little school kid, I was so close with a friend that provided we were aware of the term "best friend" at that moment, we would have used the same for our relationship. But right now I can just remember the name of that childhood friend. We have not met each other for more than 2 decades.. Its not that we had some "childish fights" or anything, but we along with our parents had moved to some other place and we lost our contact... and yet I am eagerly waiting to meet that friend someday and share and recall our beautiful moments!!
During my upper school and college life, I again befriended so many, out of which I still feel the presence of most of them in my life. During my MBBS, PG and my day to day life also I've met a number friends. With some I can share everything, with some I just prefer to stay too formal.. Its the necessity... I know, some would be there for me at any cost whenever I need any help and some won't.. some would try their level best, but the situation might deter them from doing so.. Some of them might even unexpectedly bite me too hard, yet I can't deny their importance...
Age difference has never been a hindrance for me in friendship.. Look at my younger brother.. He is approx 5 years younger to me. As the big brother I care for him too much, but we are like quite good friends actually.. and he has already played a great role in most of the major decisions in my life..
Coming to Facebook, there are so many in my friend list whom I've never met personally, but you would be surprised to know that by the interactions we have, some of them are even closer to me than some of those whom I know personally!!! Just because of Facebook I have known lots of friends all across India.. precisely all across world.. and I feel happy to have them as my friends..
To be true, I don't know who my best friend is!! I'm unable to choose anyone specifically... Each and everyone has distinct space in my heart.. and most probably you'll also agree that no matter what happens, at the end of the day, our friends will always remain our friends.. We need them all and nobody can deny it !!
