I have been blessed with a lot of friends. This is in part that I did my schooling, engineering, MBA, jobs in different states and countries and finally business associates. Every opportunity led to new friends. They enrich my life, never let me quit and share my joys and sorrows BUT most importantly they make life’s every moment FUN.

Here is why I believe they are my best asset.

1. Companionship - I have them around me – all the time. If I have worked too hard, they are open to come for a movie, picnic or vacation. If I am busy, without saying a word, they leave me. Funny! I feel they are still having a silent conversation. Most precious are their emails which are short notes reminding me of them and expressing their thoughts on what I can do better or stop doing altogether. This is valuable – afterall no one else gives a better feedback that you would listen to.

2. Humor – I think laughing is important. Not only does it have good health benefits, it has drastic impact on your mood. You always remember the times you laughed till you got tears in your eyes. They make you laugh at your failures and make them look insignificant and let you pick up life as if nothing happened. And when you succeed, they are there to celebrate with you.

3. Fun - Think of going through life without having any fun – No way. They add the element of fun when they show up unannounced, call you impulsively, send an unexpected gift, plan a surprise birthday and most importantly never mind you.

Enjoy with your friends!
