Dear Friends,

It was friendship day and there was much celebration in the kids of my neighborhood. They had met together to share their friendship bands.

Friendship – It has a different meaning for each of us. It could mean love, loyalty, caring, strength, fun, comradeship, sharing, joy, tears, kindness, pals and the list can go on. Take a second to remember your best buddies and think of what their friendship means to you.

It reminds me of the recent advertise, “Har ek friend jaroori hota hai.” So true.

It is so difficult to BE a friend, a real, true friend. I love you my best buddies for all you are to me. I cannot explain in words what you mean to me but, I can definitely say to you, “YOU ARE MY COMFORT ZONES.”

For all my new and old friends, Here is a story about two friends.
I do not know who wrote it but, I liked it and thought of sharing with you.

Enjoy and take a hug as you read through this,

Poornima

I knew you would come.

There were two childhood buddies who went through school and college and even joined the army together. War broke out and they were fighting in the same unit. One night they were ambushed. Bullets were flying all over and out of the darkness came a voice, “Harry, please come and help me.” Harry immediately recognized the voice of his childhood buddy, Bill. He asked the captain if he could go. The captain said, “No, I can’t let you go, I am already short-handed and I cannot afford to lose one more person. Besides, the way Bill sounds he is not going to make it.” Harry kept quiet. Again the voice came, “Harry, please come and help me.” Harry sat quietly because the captain had refused earlier. Again and again the voice came. Harry couldn’t contain himself any longer and told the captain, “Captain, this is my childhood buddy. I have to go and help.” The captain reluctantly let him go. Harry crawled through the darkness and dragged Bill back into the trench. They found that Bill was dead. Now the captain got angry and shouted at Harry, “Didn’t I tell you he was not going to make it? He is dead, you could have been killed and I could have lost a hand. That was a mistake.” Harry replied, “Captain, I did the right thing. When I reached Bill he was still alive and his last words were ‘Harry, I knew you would come.
