True Friends????

True friends???

Really... these days, the 'true friend' spicies is going extinct.

we should have them conserved.

I have so many acquaintances but few friends and very few true freinds.

I have friends who are worth everything to me. They are with me when I am not the very best of myself. They never forget to wish me on my birthday. They always put up with my temper tantrums. If we have a disagreement, they always call 'truce' first. They understand my needs, but never claim their right. These freinds are hard to find. And I will trade the world for friends like them.

I think the song by Hannah Montana 'True Freind' is sung for friends like Sarada (India), Mumtaz (GA), Prashanti (Bombay), Archana (Atlanta). Guys, you are my true friends.

On second thought....

Many claim to be true to you. But their true nature comes out either in a troubled time or prosperous time. I have so many who left my side when I was going through a tough time. And there are those who ignored me when they were in a high position.

Frankly speaking, I just pity them. I have a favorite song for them too.

I am not ready to make nice - Dixie Chicks

People.... don't you know that you are so transparent and we don't care for the likes of you???

I, the way I am, always want to do good to others and go out of my way to help everyone in whatever way I can. Even if I meet someone for the first time, I feel like I have been friends with them forever and if this 'new friend' has a need... I immediatly jump to resue them.

I know... its very immature of me. But, I am growing and learning everyday.

And now I have learnt a new lesson, that I should not go out of my way for everyone... hahaha it might sound rude on my part and sounds as if I am very angry with someone.

NO honey, NO.

I am very calm and composed right now. People like this used to frustrate me at one time, but not any more. Becuase, its guys like them that make someone like me mature, enlightened and successful. They are my stepping stones to a better person.

I might be sounding like a spiritual class. But if Amitabh Bachan can sound like this, then who am I not to.

Just stop for a min and think... we face different kind of personalities everyday and if the world is just filled with true friends, loving and faithful people, optimists... then it is a perfect world. And dear me!! a perfect world will be sooo dull. The more pessimist, hypocrites, chauvinists, nitpickers are around us the more we appreciate the value of true friends and reality show entertainment.

So, dear acquaintance/friend, what role are you playing in my life this coming year 09???

It will be interesting to label those roles.

But, I am still searching for that one 'true friend' in chattanooga. Hope I will find that person this 09.

Chao for now

You need change...

A situation that happened today put my brain to work, again....

Why do people not like change?

Everything changes.
All the natural elements change.
Seasons change, our bodies change, planets change, cultures change and also our individual natures change.
But, why not us?

Change for better is most of the times good. We always want everything around us to get better. We want others to bring that change in their companies or homes or organizations. But, if that same change is proposed, to make things better in your/our personal sphere, only makes our limbs weak.

I feel that why nobody likes change, is because they are afraid of losing control or authority.

People are always ready to critisize or correct others. They give big 'bhashans' about how to run the world. But, what is this critisizm doing???
NOTHING, ZIT, NATA.
Guys we will only listen to you for a while. After that you are just a target of our jokes.

I dare these people to do the same in their small world. I bet they all will fail. No wonder these so called 'critiques' have never contributed for the betterment of the world. But, if someone else want to make things better, then they will surely not like it and if possible not allow it.

I have always faced this kinda 'critiques'. Whenever I talk about change, people around me change.

This is Einstein's answer to people like this :

‘I am thankful to all those that said NO. Its because of them that I did it myself’. “
“Have indomitable faith in your strengths. Then victory over weaknesses is an easy task.”
“Kind words can be soft, but their echoes can be truly endless.”

Amitabh Bachan said:
'It is easy to reconcile oneself with, but when others do not find themselves in the same situation as I do, the task of passing judgement seems so much simpler. For them it is a passing remark. For me it is a scar in the brain; one that never heals.'

When successful people like them say these words, then I think I am on the right path. I am a 'Revolution' and if things does not work at one place .... I will move on till I find 'the place'.

until next time ...
try to understand me with a smile
