- A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself and doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!
- A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend shoulder is soggy from your tears.
- A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
- A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
- A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
- A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
- A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it!
- A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
- A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!
- "Give thousand chances to your enemy to become your friend, But don't give a single chance to ur friend to become ur enemy."
My humble attempt and musing to grow up and hopefully be a better human being during this life time. I plan to share some of the books, writings, poems that have helped me grow up so far. Of course the journey continues till the last day. I would love to hear from the readers which books, writings, poems, anything else which have influenced them in their lives. ~~ I get lots of nice "forwarded" emails. The blog also serves as collecting pot of these selected stories & writings.
