Celebrating Friendship

“You seem to have a lot of friends.” a ‘friend’ commented seeing some of my photographs. She was looking at a picture in which I was surrounded by some people and unsuccessfully trying my best to time my smile with the click of camera .

“Yes, almost two hundreds as  per Orkut/facebook/MySpace records. It requires only a click to be my friend.” I think since friendship has reduced to going out together for shopping, coffee shop, movies or having a common connection (like same colleges, same city.. etc..), then number of friends is bound to be like that only. Probably if you are not my enemy and I know you or you know me.. you are my friend.

But the ‘real friends’ are a tiny subset of this big group, most of the time they just never come into the picture unless you have goofed up big time.  Fortunately I have quite a few who turn up when I goof up ( though most of time they are the reasons behind the goof up..;-). )

Happy Friendship Week.
