For Ankit........Friends - truly blessings


Friends are truly a blessing - a huge, big blessing in fact! i have been blessed with so many of them. There is something special i share with each of my friends, and together it is one big loop, a loop which makes my life complete in every which way.


Beta, today, when i saw pictures of you  with  your friends, when i saw your expressions, it again dawned on me the importance of friends. Honestly, seeing the pictures has made me sentimental. It's brought home the fact that you have grown. Grown because the friendships you now have with each one of your friends are also special and unique. Like i told you this afternoon, when you grow the relationships you share are because of exactly that - of what you share with each of your friends. It was different when you were younger, friendships meant people you played with, you were partners with in class, you were in the same team with, you were neighbours with. Today, when i hear you talk about your friends, when i see you with them, when i talk to them, it is not because you are playing with them or are put in situations with them, it is because you share so much with them!

You're lucky beta that you have so many many friends, so many good friends. Friends you can reach out to, friends you can play with, friends you can sing with, friends you can share your deepest darkest secrets with, friends you can laugh with, friends you can share your frustrations with, friends you can spend hours with, friends you can draw comfort from.

Beta, you are so very lucky that you have been blessed with friends you have learnt so much from. You have grown so much in the last year and it's because of the strong bonds you have formed, bonds which have helped you realize the strengths of your friends. It is from these strengths of your friends that you have learnt and grown. For this mamma is truly thankful to each one of them.

Above all Ankit, you are truly blessed that your friends have accepted you just the way you are! Cause that's what real friendship is about. It is about accepting the person as a package - strengths and weaknesses together. Each one of us is different. It is impossible that everybody will be exactly how you would want them to be. Can you imagine how boring life would be?!! Then you would need just one friend. It is the synergies of all the different people in our life that makes our friendships so beautiful. This brings mamma to a very important point - accept people the same way as you have been accepted by your friends, accept people the exact same way you would want to be accepted. Always, always remember that beta, no matter how old or grey you are!!

i know you are hurting because we are moving to another city which means parting. However, take heart from the fact that you were blessed to have such wonderful friends in less than a year of being here. Also, you are lucky a few of them are moving to the same city as you. You are even more lucky that you can communicate with them fast and quick - thanks to technology. So like mamma firmly believes in , 'always see the positives, life is truly a blessing then' !
