Don’t  wait till  you’ve  a garden

To   grow  life’s  favorite  flowers.

True  friendship  blossom,

Not  in  soil,

But  happy,  well  spent  hours.    --   Anne  Kreer

It all started when I began reading – The Friendship Book (Francis Gay, 1989). It is of £ 2.55 ,but I bought it for  Rs. 20. Thanks to the Sunday market of Hyderabad. 

It is a diary evincing a thought for each day, with tiny crumbles of anthology and super pixilated photographs carrying the mood throughout. Mediocore, but, it’s the voice of an optimist, who truly lives life. Soon, I began dreaming the author’s dreams, only to fall in love with it, bit by bit.

Potential lowering of ego levels.

That’s my definition for friendship, only then any two people can get along, frictionless. But my point is can they ever minify their levels to an absolute zero? What are the hurdles for it? Had my thinking cap on - the only answer popped up - Supremacy of Ego. Self.

Dictionaries define them more precisely than I could do. So, no enthu to outbeat them. And also, let’s confine it's area to friendship. Ego’s in other domains is out of my scope  :P 

You see, Ego - being selfish – these are all relative terms. You can never claim that – “This is my action which came out of a selfless divine heart”. Never. Example – You do some charity, you empathize with the situations and make some efforts to efface them. In this process, you feel elated, which can be implied that you are being selfish for your happiness – reason is not the criteria here. By the way, Ego isn’t a bad word. It’s you. Your soul’s state of happiness or sorrow.

So, when ego is almost a non-negotiable factor, let’s disguise it in the name of friendship. That’s how it works !

Throw a compliment for your friend who looks stunning today. Apologize for your wrong doings. Don’t let a microbe called ego follow you, whenever you climb. Stay humble and be a free-float. Friends can never be replaced, roger that.

# wanna go to those times where I could have been a lot better.

Wish I have a time machine !!
