My Best Friend

I had many friends in my childhood. As I grew through different phases of life, I kept loosing them. From school to college my density of friends became less. In professional life, there is no time to make new friends. Today, I do have friends around, none best friends though.

One day I liked a person and fell in love and eventually married him. The quest of having a best friend still in my heart. I had the thought always that you can never marry your best friend. Life became busier then ever.

All this time I had this man next to me, who understood me. I would often argue with him but he cared for me. He read me books. We sat and talked for hours. We walked the moon lights and ran the rain. He surprised me by cooking delicacies. We watched movies together. I often gossiped with him and shared my views and opinions and he actively listened. We didnot have the chance to be together always.

Virtual World

A paralled virtual world had been existed in our mind. Through technology it is now being expressed. But at times I feel it is taking us away from reality. It is amazing to see my little one play a new toy all by itself where as I go by the manual. Looks like an evaluation of its own kind. Wish I would live to see where it would take us. Would children still be playing cricket in the park or play the game on their console, will we meet our friends in real or over virtual networking media, will we have time to say hello to the person next door or through our chat window?

Looking for opportunity

A shoe making company sent a sales man for survey to an Island. After a week the sales man reports that no one in the island wears shoe. They can't launch the product there. In another months time the company sent another sales man for survey to the same island. This sales man reported back in two days time stating that no one wears shoes here and it could turn to be a great opportunity.

Opportunities are hidden all around us, it is the positive thinking that matters.
