F.R.I.E.N.D.S

We humans are really one crazy lot.What we have we are never satisfied of.We want the things we dont have,hardly caring for things we already have.We have family, we have friends, we have people who care for us but still we crave for attention.We want strangers to accept us.Why is it so difficult to stay satisfied.

When i consider friends I am of the opinion that we should have few friends who we are loyal towards not to a whole bunch of 30-40.Henry Brook Adams was a famous U.S. historian,American journalist and a novelist.He is famous for his autobiographical book called
'The education of Henry Adams'.This book was written way back in 1907 may be thats why he wrote:
"One friend in a lifetime is much;
Two are many;
three are hardly possible."
Unbelievable isn't considering nowadays it is so easy to make friends. Our facebook/orkut/twitter/myspace/HI-if...account boasts of 500+ friends.Anyone with just a bunch of friends is frowned upon as a loner.May be if Henry Adams was born a century later he would'nt have made such a fatal mistake of assuming that a person can survive with just one friend.Call me dumb but i still believe i would be happier if i have to care for three four people rather than a whole bunch of 40 -50.Its easier said than done actually because i cant choose a few friends i 'd want to be associated with.Technology doesnt let me choose my friends.One or the other of my friend turns out to be friends with someone else and the cycle continues and before i know i am friends with more friends than ever. But its not all that bad too yes i am to please people and its difficult to be goody-goody to all but had it not been for my friends i woudnt have been able to pass 4 years of my college life in the the way i did.Had it not been for them i would'nt have enjoyed those pathetic movies i saw or managed through a boring lecture.Now that i am on the verge of completing my college i have a lot to thank them for-be it end time note exchange or the unwavering support during viva my buddies have stuck with me through thick and thin.

I'll miss my college days they have been the best days of my life...
