A blessing named FRIENDSHIP

Came across a saying in a mail sent by my friend:
"Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened."

I was suddenly transported back to my 2nd year in college.If i had come across this saying then, i would never have agreed with it.

it was then that i lost a dear friend..
We (our gang of friends) found it impossible to shake-off the overwhelming sadness around us.
Ya life goes on...but who could forget him, his laugh, his passion for blue (nag used to always exclaim.."blue shoes!!!), his own unique style of telling "bhuTTA"...not us...and we never will..

It was at this time that our circle of a still-developing bond of friendship turned rock solid...a loss of a friend drew us closer..oh!! the irony of it all...

Its easy to be a part of a friend's happiness, but to be part of a friend's sadness takes determination, love and unrelenting support...
Life's chapters (no matter how short they are) teach us lessons that mould us into better human beings...and thats what matters in the end.

We all moved on, and we indeed remember our friend with a smile..YES!! a smile...because the friendship happened!!! And i am thankful to God for it.

Finally

Jumped on the blog bandwagon finally....
too late u say????? i say better late than never!!
To start off let me publish one of my favourite quote , which btw i picked up from my sis' collection. :-)

Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,
and you're hampered by not having any,

the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.

No - not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you're passively standing there moping;

but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you're hoping.
-Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)
