The biggest ship - Friendship

Mujhe mere Dosto se bachaeye
Dushmano se mein khud nipat lunga :-)

FRIENDS
F : Fight for you
R : Respect you
I : Involve you
E : Encourage you
N : Need you
D : Deserve you
S: Save you

In some case in real life, those we consider as close friends could not tolerate the differences. Test of friendship can be verified during "Dispute or quarrel  with friends". Do your Karma but do not expect for its fruits. Those can be termed as close friends with  whom you can satisfactary quarrel, shout, because these bitter moments are better in quality and quantity than the sweet moments. This is applicable more to personal friends than social or professional friends.

Very good example of good friends Sudama and Lord Krishna. 

Sticking to one incident or a particular comment some friends estrange relations and alienate themselves. But true friendship means that one should forgive and never think to behave in hostile way. Yes, in case if it is clearly your friend's mistake then it fine, but in the past if your friend has "Let Go" lot many things then we must give our friend a fair chance if he\she is making an attempt to restore the friendship.

A beautiful English poem which appeared in  Gujarati newspaper by Rebecca Slobada.
Hey I have typed it ;-) and not Ctrl-C Ctrl-V

I look at you and my anger
rages like an ocean,
A vast sea of wasted feelings,
And precious time.

Hurt by the things
you say and do to me,
And the things
you don't think I hear

Or you don't think I'll find out.
As words get between us until
Neither of us know what to say,
And nothing is left to do but turn around,
And look the other way.

I want to talk,
To try to work things out and
Repair the rift that keeps growing.
But words get in the way.
We get angrier
and more frustrated.

But somehow as I sit here
and write this,
Not because I want to
but because I have to
for you and for myself,
the rift seems to heal
itself and the ocean doesn't
seem quite bottomless.

And I'm smiling again,
Because I know
You will read this,
And understand it and me,
and the way I feel.

Because you always have
and I know you always will.
It's that bond reaches
over oceans and
repairs torn hearts,
Something that only a
best friend can understand.
