Nadya shares her point of view

Of friendship

Nadya Anjum

“I miss those days when
We were together
Spending years in joys and
Till then, we never realized
The importance of each other…
Now I realize it,
of those days
I miss each and every moment”

School- the word when a child heard, he starts crying and laments: “I don’t want to go” but little he realizes the importance of schools and it is only when he grows up he gauge the significance. The six letter word “School’’ is the most suitable word where life is at its best. School remains a place where we learn, unlearn and prepare ourselves for the future. Really! What a fun it is to be a schoolian…no worries, no tensions.

Oh God! Why I have grown up sometimes I think. It is really painful to leave school where we have spend years together learning new lessons, gossiping, and joking. We irritated each other, commented on each other but still remained those old idiot friends. And it is the place where we make friends. In those days, a warm enduring and enthusiastic bond is forged among people whom we hardly know. In school we make friends not by choice but by instinct. Out of many we pick one, we never care for others. But we share a special bond, and care for him. The word ‘friend’ is a soothing word that acts as a balm when bruised. Friends provide a sense of belonging and support. A true friend follows everywhere, he never leaves you alone. He is with you and stands by you. Sometimes a thought struck me what makes this relationship special and astonishing. These are the people who are close to us than our relatives. Perhaps these relations are based on the values of love, affection, admiration and not on the material creed. They say love begets love so it would be unwise not to accept and reciprocate in the same manner.

A true friend always stands by and never let you down. He is the source of inspiration for you and always come to your rescue when you need it. He is the source of strength upon whom you rely. He holds you when your shoulders start dropping; he is the source of the courage to which you turn when the situation let you down.
