"A real friend is hard to find,
Difficult to leave,
And impossible to forget."
I read it somewhere. These Lines seem so good. But do we get a real friend in our life? I read many blogs written on the topic “friends”. Some worship their friends or some are hurt by them. The purity, the charm of having friends seems vanishing now days. I don’t know I always feel unable to make everyone pleased. And logically it’s not possible too. But why we are not happy with our lives and have numerous questions about life, about friends, their behavior and so on?
Do you think we need friends in our life? If you will ask me then maybe I will answer no. We need friends for our own amusement. Or simply can say that we are all social animal can’t stay alone without friends in this world. Having more and more friends is a kind of propensity of humans. Before some days ago one of my friends said “hey you are so rude and selfish”, I accepted. May be I m rude for her. But that’s me who knows inside that I m not. If you are having some good friends then they can make your life. But if you are having a pronging group and not aware about them then be ready to face the consequences.
Let’s talk about this virtual world. Now days we social animals have gotten a new toy for having fun and chuckling known as internet. Various sites are working as lover points. Boys need not to stand on roadside for getting a girl. They can easily flirt using any of these sites. After mushrooming uncountable professional colleges, the internet users in India are increasing by leaps and bounds.
Now using Facebook is the most favorite time pass of my mumma. The day she learnt using facebook ,she has become a facebook addict. She daily does chatting on facebook. It’s a better and secure place to do gossiping and the most important she has to upload her new pictures otherwise how her neighbors will know about her new saari and jewelry.
And what about we youth?
We love to make fool others. And what would be the better place than internet. We are the outmost in using net. Instead of meeting our friends or playing outdoor games we love playing online, we waste our valuable time in chatting. As a result cyber crime looks like a second form of terrorism.
Now I again come where I started. Do we need friends?? Having friends is all about wasting your time. The friends who claim to be your best friend would be standing so far when you will really need them. And you are the only one who needs to face your situations not your friends or your family. But yeah they may come to console you for some time not always and virtual world is just like a sweet poison which is bringing us far away from reality, our goals, dreams, and so far away from our own genuine existence in this world.

If we start having expectations from anyone,be they friends or relatives, we are bound to get disenchanted.Enjoy friendship appreciating the good in the friends and enriching from their association.Even good friends fade away when they move to far off places or have new responsibilities.Our own list of friends keep changing from school,college,official days.
@KParthasarathi thanx for reading the post.in this blogs there is a lil bit fiction too. so true we must not expect anything from our frnds. and change is the universal rule of this world
We meet many people in our life. But hardly any stay till the end. That's life :)
Social networking sites have indeed brought many changes!
Technology changes things :)

True..... ajkal to yahi ho raha hai....
Hey Anuradha!
Friends r Not Only for Amusement or Fun!
It Depends a Lot on the Type of Person You r!
If you Desrepect Others, Hold on Grudges with Them, You will Get the Same in Return.
You will Reap the same Fruits which You Sow.
Mostly, Girls r More Talkative, Caring and Friendly, so You must have Noticed dat They have a Lot of Friends in Facebook dan the Boys..
You Can't Isolate Yourself in this Hugely Populated Society of Ours otherwise you have to Bear some Serious Consequences lyk Depression, Stress etc.
So, Friends must b Made Keeping in Mind Their Limits and Needs. It makes Your Lyf Seems so Meaningful and Teaches You a Lot!:)
if we wanna kepp frnds 4 life the way is to remember...people dont actually stay wid u throughout...but if u let the recide in ur heart n memories...u call them frnds...n if u rent out a large part of ur heart for them they r ur best frnds...its all abt u n ur thinkin not them n there constant presence...
n yes...social networkin is changing things 4 sure...:)

@vaishakhi totally agree with u.thanx for coming back and liking my post.
Nice post.. :)
And you have a great blog here.. :) going to be a frequent visitor :)
Cheers,
That was a bite of reality..
well technology has always progressed and the influential ones have got on us so it's not in our hand when we really do get addicted.
But no matter what the 'friend' you described above may be in your real life or may come from your virtual world to your real life..it's your perception and observation of the person which would really matter at the end of the day to you yourself
Nicely penned down..keep pondering and musing :)
thanx alcina and tanvi
i guess we need friends....but friends, like books, should be well chosen :-)
very well written....yeah its really true that now virtual world really effect the real world around us....communications is good...but communicating new people around the world on network sites really make us apart from our own loved ones/friends/family some how effect our real world relationships...
yeah technology make changes...but changes are for good or for bad...who knows...its hard to say as it has pros and cons side by side...
great observation....nice blog...loved the pic of my all time favorite TV Show "F.R.I.E.N.D.S.".....
keep writing...
thnx hema and in few words but u said a lot sub.thnx
Agree with you..pointed out so true!
Having friends online doesn't mean that you forget the old ones right? It's all up to the person. Online is like expanding your horizons. You'll meet person you never even imagined you would. And that's a great thing! =)
thnx faye and thnx simran

its not just for amusements that we need friends, you need them when you feel you are not capable of handling with the circumstances alone, or may be when all you need is someone to make up your mood or wipe your tears etc and friends, true friends though hard to find, accept you exactly the way you are be it rude, serious, sarcastic or whatever =D
Well true about the fb friends..
Nice post =)
