What would a friend mean to you? There are so many definitions of a friend. To define a friend, there can be so many good things to say. For me, someone who remains with you always, one who is approachable at any point of time, who is constantly watching you, is a friend.
To help or not to help, that’s up to the instance of time.
On my journey in India’s fastest train, I have made a friend. This train is moving at a speed more than 150 Kmph, still this friend of mine is with me. He is not sitting next to me, neither is he standing in front of me, nor is he waiting for me outside at the door or in any other cabin. He is right outside my window. And yes, the train is moving and he is still there. A very fast train passed by in the reverse direction, but it didn’t take away my friend. We both can watch each other without any interference.
He is not the pebble on railway track, which has just passed by…at the same speed as my train. He is not the tree, 10 kms away, who will just say a ‘hi’ and move on. Neither he is that cable tower, 20 kms ways, which will try to take a look at me, but will finally leave me alone.
He is Mr. Cloud. He is farthest from me as compared to other companions whom I met, but none those companions stayed back. Mr. Cloud is there and he will be there, always.
Our life is also like this. We meet a lot of people everyday. But they all just pass by. They may say a ‘hi’ to you or ask for your well being, but none will remain there for you.
No matter how far this friend of mine is, I know, whenever I will look at him, he will be already looking at me.
The farther a friend is from you, closer he is.
Cheers :-)
