So let me start by talking briefly about myself. I used to be a freelance content writer and a visiting lecturer at a management college in Indore. But now, I am just a full-time faculty there.

I must say, I miss writing and nowadays I don’t get much time due to my studies and job, to even write a page for myself. But isn’t this becoming a habit for all of us. We all cry over more possibilities and better options and opportunities but the truth is, that one needs to have total control over his/her life and make timely decisions. If we keep thinking we will do it tomorrow, or tomorrow will be better, we will never achieve what we are destined to. Moreover, how good it is when we have friends and family to support us. They guide us, advise us and give suggestions, and help us out when we are in a difficult situation. We should be thankful for that advice, and work towards bettering ourselves.

Recently my friend pointed out that sometimes when I have too much on my mind, I talk a lot because I want to get it out of my system and maybe look for advice. Now, this habit wouldn’t hurt anyone but could make the person in front of you uncomfortable. And out of courtesy, they wouldn’t object. Now, how considerate and polite that is!

I also am very fortunate to have friends who would only give you 10 mins of their time and then turn around and start doing their work. I say, don’t be that extreme but at least, listen to what others need to say. Maybe they are hurting and talking to you would just help them mentally.

So, take out time from your busy schedules and talk to people, talk to friends, pick up that phone and call them, ask them how have they been? Spend time with your family. Spend time with yourself. Remember life becomes as you take and make it. If you think it’s satisfactory, it will become that but If you think the opposite, then you will face only problems.

Signing off now! Hope you all keep well and will meet you through my Next Post.

PS: First post after many years! Thanks to my mum who encouraged me to write again.

This is a unique and challenging relationship any human being can have. We all face up and downs in our day to day life but when there is a friend, it just makes things easier.

But sometimes, friends can be such a pain in the a**. They are such a hassle to an introvert person. I am an introvert person and I do not like demanding and persuasive friends who can bully you.

But as you can get older, you think you have overcome these small problems and can handle situations but what I did was to bow down to these demands and listen to accusations. You realise no matter how old I will get, I will still hope to find that one special friend who wants to hang out with you all the time, talk to you and doesn’t bully you.

Believe me, they are tough to find. But if you are lucky and find such people hold on to them and do not mess up the relations by ignoring or shutting them out. Ask for help, talk when you want, hang out with them when you want. DO not bow down to their demands but instead, draw a middle line where both of you can meet.

Hope everyone finds true friendships which are a rare gem to find.
