The difference between a best friend and a just friend is that one extra moment of sharing, is that one extra bit of understanding, is simply one extra than everyone else & everything else. I had my moments of bests in life. Best academic performance, best friendship, first love which is the best & its failure that turned me into cynic towards love & life. All feelings touched my heart & soul so far. The one string which always touched by my best friend is the faith one. The more faith one has shown in me and my friendship, the more my worth, value for that friend and friendship increased.
Corporate world dragging me into gutters, failures weakening my strength day by day, I always wonder, what would it take for me to reach to the top. I always left myself at crossroads. But I found one lotus in that gutters which kept me going, which keeps inspiring me, which gives me a reason to smile.
There are times which are unexplainable, unbearable and unimaginable. I know what pain my friend is going through; alas I can’t take away that pain. All that I can do in this world is just wait for the pain to subside, just wait for the difficult moment to pass by, just wait for my friend to smile back, waiting beside my friend to recover. I have never felt so helpless in the world, when the problem is not shared! When no one understands what I am going through to understand my friend’s problem. Why can’t I simply become such a powerful strength, that the fiercest of the stabs won’t hurt my friend! I am desperate to know what’s going through my friend’s mind & dying to feel what experience the heart is feeling. The dark pain whenever raises its ugly head, the bright smile of my friend’s does a beautiful miracle, not once or twice but every time. A great man truly said, “You may be just one person to this world, but for someone you are the world”.
The limitation of my knowledge, the limitation of my wisdom, the limitation of being human makes me realize that how limited I thought and how unlimited I expect from a friend! It takes ages or may be a lifetime for me to understand, that life has it own plans has its own order has its own priorities, so does my friend have. Why I want to keep my friend in my eyes & close them forever, why I keep my friend in my heart and never show it to the world. Why I always want to keep it for myself!
Am I selfish? The answer is simple. No I am not. I am possessive, extremely possessive!
The day is never far away infact the moment is never faraway, anytime may GOD call back my journey, I take pride and walk into the heavens head held high just because of you & your friendship, my dear friend.

Do I really Love Someone!
I never dreamt of reaching sky, as it is far away,
But I tried reaching it by throwing a stone at it, it fell down,
I tried to fly by a plane, but still it was not conquered!
I tried Love and the sky started bowing down to it , so I reached that level.
Innocent ignorant acceptance of love by Sky, is it ignored by me?
It is no more seen as a unconquerable destination.
I left for one more journey, one more destination with full confidence and success behind me!
Did I forget the generosity of the Sky!
During the course of my life,I always come across sky like family, friends, teachers, bosses, every other person who directly or indirectly helped me achieve what I wanted.New Successes achieved, new relationships formed,craving for new always exist,fading the old ones slowly.Do I realize the importance of the old ones when I have no more have strength to seek a new thing!
I don't know, but I realize that lots of people infact everybody in this world is craving for love as I do, but very few ready to give it! Truly said by few wise people, one who receives love, does not realize its value and one who hasn't received it,dies in anticipation of just receiving it!

Its Man after GOD - Being Human!
Dog has to depend always on its owner. For everything from food to shelter to Companionship to acceptance. Irrespective of the behaviour of its master, it can only be have to be loyal.
Cat has to steal milk so often that it has no options left in fast growing urban cities where there are no rats in houses and almost all the houses have fridges and milk is safely kept inside it.
Horses have nothing else to do in their entire life except running for his/her master! Such a marvelous & gorgeous sight when it runs. Alas it can't do that on its own. What a pity!
The great royal tigers have to constantly fight for survival in this urban Jungle by becoming a meek cat captured in a cage or showcased in a zoo and if somehow it is born in some natural Jungle then the might with which it hunts, the spectacular sight of strength is simply royal and so its name King of the Jungle! (I am taking Lion also in the same category).
Eagle the greatest of the flights it can take with ease at thousands of feet above the land but still with such precision of finding its prey in few inches perimeter on the ground, makes envy for any other species! Alas what else in its life can do! is there any other option for it. I don't think so.
Every animal/bird is given a particular trait which is the perfection of God's creation. There are thousands, millions of species which have one particular predominant trait. The trees are also the same. They are no different.
How different is a Man? He is not given any particular predominant thought. But he can achieve/ be like whatever he wants. He can be loyalist more than a dog,he can be the best thief, run faster than horses, fly better than Eagles. Apart from these mentioned, he can do millions of other things which are not in existence today. Why?
Because he is blessed with the greatest gift by GOD & it is "Thinking Brain". Just because of this we are ahead of all other species and I am thankful to GOD bestowing me such a wonderful life.
Now is it worth pondering over silly mistakes, silly fights, and silly arguments, silly targets, really silly silly things in life? Life is too precious to be wasted on such things .
Just worth thinking with the gift we have!

Questioning the Almighty!
When I was sleeping, you woke me up from my mother's womb!
When I was innocent, you gave caring parents to look after me.
when I was ignorant,you sent many teachers and gave me education.
When I was in teens, you made me feel about first love.
When I was in adulthood, I understood success, you gave me a failure to understand that!
Now I grew old enough, I can't understand why I question your mere existence!
Have I walked long enough, that I can really know that I know you!
Lord I am at crossroads!
