A Humbling Act!

A humbling Act !

When I think of some topic to start, my "friends" take away the prize ! Yeah! As I had written earlier, when you try to go back in time to start where you stopped, the first people that come to your mind are your friends whom you leave, rather sadly due to the so-called constraints in life. You are separated for better or for worse and continue with your life ahead. As you grow older, the circle of real-friends become lesser and a bigger circle of acquaintances or social contacts are formed. At one point, you stop and think about your lost world. Well, you can relive it if you know the art of "maintaining" it. The problem of lost relations or strained ones can be solved by "maintaining" it steadily. Thanks to today's communication scenario. I think it is a boon for all sons/daughters, parents, friends and all others under the sun :)
But I feel equally frustrated when people fail to use it properly by the lame excuse -lack of time! One might say, easier to preach than do!
But hey! no! I have seen high-flying people "maintaining" their friendly ties even if the other end responds weakly. One example is my good friend Satish. He is one person who constantly remains in touch with all his friends(even his school mates) and makes sure that the relation doesn't break anytime anywhere. For him it is better late than never. He never waits for "your-turn- my turn" tug- of- war. It is spontaneous for him ! Man! That is some very good trait that has impressed me. Also, he has no complaints or ego if you don't bother to do it in the same pace or depth as him. But you know, people like him are eye-openers. He works for an MNc and is a very successful man,who can be termed as one person who is "eligible" to make all kinds of excuses like lack of time/space :) Looking at him, myself and my husband learnt a few lessons -that maintaining takes lot of sacrifices,dedication and above all, you have to be a good person. Moreover, it makes you humble too :) So, what are you waiting for ? Re-establish all your "lost-track-somewhere" connections..You will be only happy that you made the first move! Watch the response too..Overwhelming !!!!!
