After a long Time with my Best Friend

After long time my best friend and I met, like really met, even though we are in same college, we don't get time to talk to each other, we can see each other everyday but we have lost the previous connection. We are very different from each other, in some cases we are like north and north poles; never agreeing to each other, and some time like south and north poles; agreeing to every damn moment.  In school we were very close. We use to understand each other without any conversation. we were always on same page when we looked at a thing. One word would make us crack. Now we are interns for the same company, and we meet on weekends, being with each other full day is bringing back us to same state, it's as if there is not a single day we did not meet. When one of us make reference, the other gets it exactly right. We have made friends, but never felt the same spark with anyone. We gossip a lot, but our gossips are very funny and make no sense. We fight and argue so much, more than enemies do. She annoys me so much, but I enjoy, it never seems to be annoying.We always seem to be happy around each other. She is the one who opens up and shares everything. I'm not the one who opens up easily. We call each other when we want suggestion, we are always there for each other no matter what. We play different roles  for one another every time. We have had a long journey crossing all terrains together. We still have a long journey ahead of us.

We fight and cannot even dream a day without each other. We forgive each other and forget the incidences when we were in the dark. We have known history of each other.

friendship makes life's storms easier.

Perspective

I am a book reader; I know how it feels when I see something in a characters point of view. It gives me a chance to think in a perspective other than mine. I feel it is necessary for each one of us to know the importance of perspective. By looking at a situation in many perspectives gives a better idea of it. When we figure out that there are many ways to conclude, we start understanding better. In the world like ours it is not easy to jump to a solution by looking into a problem in only our perspective. I feel books help me become broad minded. I have come across many situations in which I feel perspective has played a crucial role. One incidence that happened recently on 21 July 2017 I went with nine friends to a contest “Solve - a -thon” , the program started and candidates with idea came up on stage, they were allotted one minute of time, the candidates who attended this program can join hands with the idea they like. My friends left me at 12:30. They did not like any idea proposed by the candidates. They did not even think for a split of second if they could try to understand the total idea of the candidates. On the other hand I was thinking of all the possibilities in my mind. I had it clear “I would not judge the candidates idea in one minute of talk” I stayed back. I came to know like minded people. I was feeling happy that I did not decide to leave the place along with my friends. I could do this because of the ability to see in different perspectives. If I would have left the place I could never know if I could get an opportunity like this again. Perspective makes a person efficient. The problem solving capacity will increase. People will be happy.
