Friends and Friendship day

As i was flipping through the pages of newspaper today i got fixated on the editorial column written by Karan Thapar. Though i am a die hard fan of his tv program 'Devils Advocate', which i remember gogi and me used to watch on internet on account of Mr. Thapar's excruciating style of interviewing. He used facts to completely subjugate the Guest through his strong line of reasoning and it gives a very vicarious joy to us. I remember Gogi once asked how it would be if Mr. Thapar were in conversation with Mr. Raghu of MTV Roadies?
I quickly said Mr. Thapar will blow his brains out and chew it raw because anyone with a little perspicacity of human actions would know that Mr. Raghu is a clear Cut Buffon! Haah.
I added,' Its completely different to interview teenagers who are already have a misplaced sense of self-identification( since they are on MTV in a stupid reality show where mediocre minds are inundated among brainless beauties! And Mr. Thapar here argues and smother some very high profile people such as Mr. Ramjethmalani, the one who fought manu sharma's case and jessica murder case. Also i remember his musharraf's episode.

Lemme get back to where i started. After reading that high quality column i moved to the local suppliment named Bhopal Live. There it was mentioned about the Friendship day.

So today is friendship day. And i didnt wish my single friend the same. Reason- i just didnt felt like it. Or its not a big deal. I mean none of my friends i know would feel any difference.
I wont be a Bum to criticise or applaud or comment about why its celebrated and why people msg you the same or ping you on your social networking sites.
My urge to readers is that if you have a POV( pt of view) then atleast the actions must go in accordance following a line of reasoning.
Does wishing the friendship day suffices the duties adhered irreplacably with this relationship. I mean what's our motto here. I am not not against westernisation but i am against psuedowesternisation.
I am against this hypocrisy by which we have ladden ourselves. Do anyone know about what actually is western culture or for that matter Indian Culture.
We are very good in incorporating new principles but very very weak to incorporate them.Biggest failure in this pursuit is the middle class. They under the gard of staying in fashion have actually become outmoded and bereaved of stong line of reasoning.

Because of this many irregularities have started to errupt on a large scale. Honour Killings can be taken as just one of the outcomes. Leave apart the agonies which a younster has to face with everday conflicts.

People are unclear about the extent,scope and horizon of various relationships say friendship or opposite sex relationships. People are different and different are their upbringings. But when they are put on a common platform say work place, college or school they thrive to become what they never are or what they wont be allowed when they approach their original environment say home or society.

Among these conflicts one feels loose at some point of time and some times he or she feels binded altogether with little space of self development. This is the reason why we find only a very small fraction of middle class taking important decisions and while other are totally unaware of possibilities and risks. So , a few enterprenuers. All we have done is to create a legacy of followers!

Keeping discussion closer to frienship i would very much like to mention the extraordinary Character of " Danveer Karan " from Mahabharata. Its an axiom that a friend like Karan is like having the most precious asset.
Karan and Duryodhan shared a distinct kind of friendship. Karan always knew what was the righteous path or the path of dharma. When Duyodhan was adamant in his stance to wage a war against the pandavas, Karan backed him and supported him with all his might. Every thing for a friend.
Arjun had the almighty God himself as his friend as Shri Krishna, who showed him the right path. Karan knew this too. But enliving friendship was his greatest Dharma which he did!

I have knowingly alluded to this epic on account of celebrating a few points here.
1. A friend is one who helps you in need. Its not an idealistic statement. I mean every word of it. When you want that your friend must be here right now because you are in trouble he should be there leave the good times. I have seen people like them and i am proud to have friends like them.

2. Though people cut cakes for friendship day just like some imbeciles do these days, do not be fearful or in a state of quandary if a real friend needs you also its your right to ask that help and thats how a legacy is created.

So for me Friendship is the most sacred and important relationship in life.

I conclude this post with Pawan's words as he used to say: " Any thing for a friend."
