My Friends

I have 'n' number of friends, where 'n' is a natural number and day by day n tends towards infinity. I cannot provide a comprehensive list of all my friends but I can certainly name more than 250 of them.

We live in a busy world. Life is fast and changing. There is so much of work pressure that we hardly get time to think about friends. So we loose contact with many friends. They are still our friends, but we have lost contact. Once in a while we remember them, but then either their telephones don't work because the number has changed or they have moved to US and we don't have their e-mail address. On most occasions we don't have any great news to give to our friends, just a simple Hi !! is all we want to say. In that case, the best way is to forward e-mails. On an average I get 4-5 forwarded e-mails daily. I filter out nice ones and later send them to all my friends with e-mail valid address.

We meet so many people daily. But all are not friends. They are just associates or colleagues. A friend is special. Also while chatting on the internet we happen to meet so many people. We don't even know their real identity. They just can't be friends. My specialty is that I make friendship only with extra-ordinary people. Needless to say that all my friends are exceptionally good in their respective fields. They aren't just Tom, Dick & Harries. They are the people in whom I find nice qualities. I find them worth befriending. They are just great !!!

We have a large number of friends when we are in school and college. As we lead towards a professional life the number of friends reduce drastically (rather exponentially) and old friends are not in contact anymore. But, I have a great memory and I remember all my friends. But I seriously doubt whether some of them still remember me.
