Inspire

Feelings.

We can’t set up few words and say this is the definition of feelings. It varies in smithereens depending on people.  In that, Friendship is more about inspiring others than having fun.

I see two things. One is being friendly with everyone, another is being a friend to few.

In brief, if you are smiling at an unknown person, it’s being friendly. A person is asking you for an aid and if you feel reluctant for a second, it’s enough to understand you are being friendly with that person, not as a friend. You have given that person an enough space to ask you a help. Unfortunately, you didn’t make that in your heart and mind. It’s 100% normal.

On the contrary, if you didn’t mind for a second to help, even if you didn’t help that person, then you are living as a good friend to that person. I want to make one thing clear, I’m not saying about rendering a help but the intention to do. We can be friendly to anyone, but not as a friend to all.

I believe in a fact, “the best friendships tend to be with the people in which you can openly be weird with”

While writing about this, I was thinking about how friendships would began. I have heard of many reasons on how two people became friends.

“We are born to be friends”, “We itself don’t know”,

 “It simply happened”,   “We have mutual affinity”,

“He’s really genuine”,    “Because of his good character”,

“She’s very pretty”,        “He helped me when I was helpless”,

“He’s rich”,         “She’s brilliant, studious, so I became her friend”

Like this, I heard many as well told many reasons.

I would like to share a story of two people how they became friends.

It’s a story of two friends who studied in the same college, stayed in the same hostel, later shared their room.

Wait ! Wait !

Before proceeding further, lets give a name for our heroes - Rohith and Parasuram. Nice name, isn't ?

Back to the story, both hadn’t talked much, but used to share a friendly smile whenever they pass over each other.

One evening, while playing cricket, Parasuram received a call. He attended, it was Rohith in the other side. Rohith asked Parasuram, “Shall we go out for dinner ?", initially Parasuram was confused and reluctant, after hearing the word "I’ll sponsor” from Rohith, he nodded positively.  Who would say no, when a scapegoat comes our way and ask us to chop down its head.

Parasuram responded “I’ll be back in 30 minutes, after that we can go”. They hanged the call. Parasuram was surprised by the call.

Exactly an hour later, they went outside to have dinner. Following the dinner, they talked about their Family, School life, College life, Cinema, Foods, Hotels, Politics, friends and got to know each other. Sitting in front of their hostel, they kept talking for more than an hour. Despite all the talking, Parasuram wanted to know why Rohith asked him a man-date.  

Once they planned to go inside the hostel, Parasuram shot his question “Rohith, Why from no where, you asked me to come out with you ?”.

Rohith smiled and said “I liked the way you eat”.

Parasuram was like “Eek !”, asked “What are you saying?”

“I often notice you in mess, you’ll take food limitedly, eat cleanly and mostly never waste food”

Parasuram was spell-bounded and he had never heard such a reason in his life time.

From that day, it became a mandatory that Rohith have to sponsor Parasuram, whenever they go out for a man-date.

We used to do few things without knowing those are good,  definitely one day or another we’ll reap for those good deeds, like Parasuram.

Fun apart, Rohith always inspires Parasuram to be a good friend.

That’s the end of the story of never ending friendship.

Be an inspiring person, if not to society at least to your friend. This bond will help us to build an inspiring surrounding.

I was inspired. Hope you will too !

Keep Smiling :) God bless :)
