I wrote this on friendship day this year in the beginning of the "august" month of august, in the grip of nostalgia , remembering my wonderful students!
"well, its friendship day today......
may be this day has a lot of importance.... afterall friends r so important..... but, i don't remember having celebrated this day as such..... nor did we ever exchange greetings on this day among friends..... may be, this is so because... celebration of this day was not in vogue a decade ago ... while we were in school..... wen frndship counted so much... frnds were so special .... they r so till today, but exchanging of greetings on this day is something that we still dont do!
Times change..... though!!!!!!!!!
A couple of years back wen i was teaching in a school in my hometown ,(jamshedpur), i really experienced the charm that this day has ...... students bubbling with joy after having tied multicolour frndship bands on each others wrists ... as charming and as colourful as their dreams: i still remember the day with moist eyes..... wen my students would come with those frndship bands to me too..... they knew me to be their frnd....that was such a different feeling that this day gave me... in spite of all strictness and scoldings , the innocent and naughty ones make u feel loved in their own way....: no wonder i collected many handmade frndship bands from my innovative students.... they have been treasured so dearly....!
I miss those young frnds of mine on this day......"
well, celebrating these days full of emotions, we should resolve to live with the same fervour of friendship rejuvenating our souls throughout the year!
Let us befriend our own selves first and then we will discover that there is a bond of friendship eternally binding all of us in a supreme whole!!!!!!!!
