We all are familiar with the adage “a friend in need is friend indeed.”. Good friends have always been an invaluable asset. Companion, comrade, acquaintance, thus goes the synonyms for a friend. There may have been different definitions for friendships. But the word ‘friend’ stands apart always beyond the definition and just like a poem.
| The relations some times get deep. We remember the friends wherever they are. What will be the feeling when one loses his friend? Is it not simply unimaginable?
Some bonds have been proved especially great. In history and mythology, there are many role models of friendships. Poets and writers penned as many works on exceptional friendships. From early childhood to old age, friendships have transformed in different modes. What I want to say is about a few unseen friends who influence me more than the remaining. Whenever I want a help, they are on the other side. Even if they are busy people, they sacrifice their precious time for me. I think it is very divine. Whenever I see a mail of these invisible friends, I feel delighted. Some of us have never met, nor we talked even once. But their powerful written words have contributed greatly. Whenever I need some advice, I send e-mails to them. All of them respond with great care. Their e-mails are big treasures for me. I consider them as very dear too. I often longed to meet them to convey my loyalty to them. But this seems to remain a dream for a long time because most of them are very busy people. I realize the greatness of this people from their simplicity and endorsement. Whenever their mails inspire me, criticize me with good intention, I feel I am obligated to them even though I am not doing or unable to do a small favor for them, the unseen hands continue their help. I can’t simply stand without praying for them. An emotional thanks note comes within my inner heart. I pray God for their well-being too. |

I think they are altruists, very broadminded people with divinity. It is better to describe them as compassionate people. I can experience the deepest humanity in them. If one gets sincere friends such as this, one can be happy, optimistic, and blessed too. Their positive attitudes lead me to think positively. Their inspirational force made me more active to do things again. Their sharp criticism leads me to correct things and move in the right track.
Among the invisible blessing, there are recent and old names. Their names have strong influence and importance in my life as the old great companions. Friendships are always based on trust and mutual understanding.
These friends are helping hand here and there. When living in an alien nation, friendship is always a boon. I have got the best unseen contacts quite accidentally. God’s grace, those relations have turned to be very strong and healthy. I do truly enjoy the right value of friendliness within and beyond the border. Is this a coincidence or a pre-planned decision of Almighty? I believe, otherwise these things could not have happened.
I have lost many regular contacts which I had when I was in India. But when I got the new sincere and helpful contacts, I can keep the real spirit of friendly passion, with more excitement.
Now I have only one thing to plead: May these contacts remain strong and live forever.
According to Christian Gospels Lord Jesus said: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
