Ever thought of that friend of yours whose is happy all the time? May be you might have thought what does he do to remain so happy? Is this fellow taking some potion or murmuring some hymns to be happy.. If you have thought in this way then you easily get in to my league.
This is a story of my friend Jyoti and I.She has always been my inspiration right from the first day of college. She had some kind of mischief smile on her face which could even make a girl go crazy for her. Fortunately, she was a good friend of mine. We were four friends and honestly I, love each one of them for the way they are.
Despite of too many dissimilarities we all were great together. I can still remember that day when I promised her not to be upset with life at any point. I guess I am good at my word. Even today i can very well remember the place where we used to gossip and laugh and cry without any fear for future,life and whatsoever.
that day I asked her " Jyoti,why do we have to care for everyone? Don't we have our own life our own choice. I have sacrificed a lot for my family but what am I receiving in return?"
To my question she asked me at once," What are you receiving in return? " I didn't understand what to reply? I said, "I mean they want everything as they want things to be and not exactly how I want them."
"So,how do you want them?". I said " I don't know."
Then she replied in a plainly, "See rads ,you exactly dont know what you want but you are sure that all the chaos is because of your family!!. How can you be so sure about others when you are not sure about yourself" One more thing, Rads, always be happy that you have got a beautiful family , who care for you and of course you care for them, not like my situation ,right! Be happy! And promise me you will never be upset with your life."
I replied, " Yes , I won't.
Two years have passed, things have changed both for her and for me. But,that conversation will remain everlasting in my memory. That day, I realised something very simple , straight and just.
Sometimes in life where we find ourselves gripped in a cage of frustration, depression ,fear anger and and much more... We all need such friends who can help us in understanding our situation and make us grow beyond our level. I know in such emotional situations, we crave for someone who can just clarify our doubts and confusion and not just stand beside and superficially say." Don't worry, everything will be fine".
Today,when I remember her for whatever she meant to me...that reminds of happiness and from that day onward happiness became my best friend.
I said to myself" I have got nothing to do today ,but smile"
