Friendship - what is it?

Hello FRIENDS,
I am calling you a 'friend' but tell me sincerely , do you really mean what the word 'FRIEND' means?

No, FRIEND doesn't mean your class-mate,your batch-mate,your room-mate or any other mate.FRIEND doesn't mean the ones you meet online,your colleagues and others...

Yeah,really,i am not in a mood of humour. You think and i bate,you'll find me right.
Gone are the days when some सुदामा will bring पोहे for any कृष्णा.

According to me, in this world of extreme competitiveness , everybody is so busy in their careers and all that hardly somebody gets time for such relationships.Everybody has high goals in life and each is striving hard to make them come real.They are ready to take tough challenges and conquer whatever comes in their path.

In this greed,people have forgotten the real meaning of a friend.They started to join commercial aspects with a friendship.They redefined a FRIEND as "the one who might be helpful to me in some or other way".They started to look at financial interests within friendship.And this way,now we call anybody a friend of ours.

Today's friendship comes in the form of social networking sites.Just leave a scrap or a mail when its some body's birthday.Forward a mail at FRIENDSHIP DAY forwarded by millions.Copy-paste some real good lines from somewhere and what not.......

Some nice day,call a reunion party at some garden,have each others' mobile numbers exchanged,give false promises of keeping in touch,decide something and then again,as usual,forget to execute those plans,for the reasons of being busy.

But somewhere in this process,they are forgetting the greatest gift of mankind-'A True Friendship'.Without real good people in life,nobody is going to be happy.Money can buy everything but the toughest job is to have nice friends which can turn your life into HEAVEN. In this world full of humans,people are heading towards loneliness,which ultimately carries them towards dark.

Some of you might find this wrong.Some of you might be lucky enough to have real good friends that are ready to face any challenges for you.(By the way,now a days,these are becoming exceptions.)
But somewhere deep in your heart,one thought might be harassing yourself,"Is this true? Do I really have a FRIEND,a true FRIEND?"

Remember,good friends come only once in life.You have to identify them and keep them with you forever.Once you let someone down,you will never get a second chance.This is the age where we have to and off course can save ourselves from drowning.Its not the case that every time you have to find good friends.Actually you have them with you but you fail to recognize those thus never care for those.
Finally,its a delicate relation between the two who care for each other,who respect each other.
So FRIENDS,"Have you bagged couple of these people in your life???"

Think,think and tell me,rather tell yourself.

Bye and ha,suggestions are always welcome.
