Dear Bhujji, I am surprised and sentimentally moved by the contents. How are Raja, Jaya and your Mother? I remember every one and the association we have had cannot be forgotten. Mohan Da is no more. Vishu is in Delhi and his daughter in studying in Pune. My son is studying in Chennai and my daughter is working for Deloittee. I am presently working in China in Bank of Baroda. Happy friendship day.

All the fault is of time........we can not leave anyone or make friendship with any one......Just time take us to some place......to make the friendship with anyone.......Its a cycle in which everyone keep moving.......
Now-a-days, Friendship become so selfish & cheap. People makes the friends just to take the un-due advantage from the innocent people and forget them, once work is over.As soon as people become rich, their way of life style/ talking/thinknig/openion suddently changed and started talking about their poor firned, like they do not have sence to talk, they do not have sence for dress-up and how to enjoy the life.
I more thing I want to say as I have experienced, a old friend can be a big enemy or a big problem for you. Its better not to share your personal things to any friend. Only your true wife can be your friend.

It is not only these days, exploiters existed always. There are no permanent friends or enemies. All change with time. We have to accept this truth. When relationship is not permanent why friendship should be?People move on.
D. Goel pkl. afternoon, 3.05Pm,Sunday, Aug. 1, 2010 I do notsee anything including Friends could hold against time's incessant flow. We may have nostalgia for days Passed and gone and lives lived as friends earlier , but we cannot relive them ever.Having said that, I add that if we had understanding sexual or Platonic even for a moment between friends belonging to either the same Sex or opposite , something permanently sticks to Psyche that never can wash away despite life being always Time's Fool.D. Goel
Its busy life. Individualism is growing. Thanks to technology all your need can be met without any friend. In west every body is alone. why ? they dont need one friend. Technology and systems are so strong. it fulfills all the human needs in least amount of time. In india we are poor so depend on friends. But sooner we will also have same powerful system. So if you live in city, dont have any friend. No worry. help is on the way. India is growing.

Friendship is not and should not be a bond. when you expect too much from friend s it is only Mathlabi. There has to be a balance. Indian s tend to impose too much as friends or relatives. If they dont do that life will be pleasant.
Friend in need is friend in deed stays for altime.Despite changing societal situations, friends may part,but their souls can't.The same love,affection comes out after meeting several hours.If not,then it was not a friendship but a time-pass relation which they presumed friendship. Definitely a friend is everything for a friend. Nobody can make pieces of a soul,so friendship is two individuals with one soul. Wish everybody a happy friendship day.
In college days, we are with fellow students around us most of the times. Students go out together for movies, study together, play together, even quarrel together (Let us not forget about two opposite gangs in almost every college's student chamber election), hence a bond of friendship is developed easily. On coming out, individuals go deeper in to their respective personal responsibilities and commitment. It is true. Yesterday, when my college-day-friend (studied together before 9 years) came from bangalore with gifts to wish me and two of his other friends for our birth day, I really felt elated. In the evening, we went for a movie together and had a nice time. Friendship, despite varying individual's profession and status, stands tall for ever. I always hear from my seniors that they have get-togeher of their batches, if not every year, atleast sometimes when they get time. One such get-together involved Cricketer Dinesh Karthik's father and my office' senior management person, who in turn said to me of this.
Point is that Friendship doesnt get undermined in the challenges of individual's responsibilities and commitment.
This artical is a shame on Friendship Remember Lord Krishna & Sudama friendship Remember Billu Barbar movie Friendship is long lasting friendship. May be Rediff do not understand because of TRP boosting articles.

Trying to reiterate both the stories.. Krishna & Sudama were friends!!! do you have an idea how long did it last, billu barbar movie shows the Star met his friend after long years, after that he still had to continue on his own path. Friendship is a feeling, you cherish every moment spent with a person you like/admire/love and same is with enemy the vice versa.. Nothing is permanent except for change. There a millions/billions of them who had to part from their friends in a way or the other, it does not mean that it is the end of friendship. It is the lack of an opportunity of not spending more time with them. When you had to re-locate to serve your career you take your parents/wife & Kids with you.. why not friends??? it is tough to answer but reality bites.. I miss my friends but i still cherish every moment i had spent with them, hug them when i see them unexpectedly. Bless heart, at least now you have technology to track or stay in touch with you friends as and when you want, imagine if you were living 50 years ago??? Coming to the post, The story is 9 year old where the technology also couldn't help and even if it did not all could afford.. It is someone's feeling that has been expressed. I don't know old are you, but you comment shows your maturity dude.. you are yet to experience life's tasteless and few fruitful realities.. Wish you good luck.. Happy friendship day!!

These days if you are a guy you hang around with a guy friend for longer times, you will be labelled gay. Think about it.

your criticism is fair. but a lot of people do get influenced by movies, and the movies in a way mirror the society to an extent. friendship day is foisted on us by the archies/ hallmark / entertainment industry.
