Friends!! Those few people who sometimes play a greater part in our lives than our nearest family members. I have been blessed with quite a few friends, both male and female. Some of them have helped me through those phases in my life where even my own have deserted me.
They have helped me smile when sorrow threatened to drown me.
The school friends, the college friends, the work-place friends... Those golden carefree days of college... who doesn't get nostalgic about them? One of my long-standing, most helpful friend is the kind who doesn't let me feel the absence of enemies!! He criticizes me, taunts me, makes fun of me, but he is the one who has stood the test of last 10 years... always there to pick me up when I really really needed picking up. God bless him!!
The greatest loss I have felt was last year, when one of my best work-place friends left to pursue a golden career opportunity.
And how can any girl survive without the bitching and criticisms of girlfriends....
The latest in fashion and gossip.....
Friends, the creature God designed when he thought of helping mankind! May He bless them always.

First of the Daily Doses..
Finally writing! Being a little bit more on the lazy side, I kept on putting off writing a blog. But all the gentle persuasions of a friend-angel has finally paid off. I am going to write my day-to-day living.
Yes, day to day, because all of us are so involved with making our futures bright that we forget to notice the beautiful present.
Like today, while leaving for work, all I was thinking of what things I have to finish before lunch.
And right where I board my transportation to work, was a small puddle. There were about 7-8 sparrows washing themselves and generally making a graet racket. The best thing they were so oblivious to the humans and they dispersed only when a dog decided to have a drink there.
This sight filled me with a kind of careless joy. And I realised that worrying about what is going to happen even a few hours later is foolish.
Quite a part of the day still remains to be lived, moment to moment.
